Putt putt for the fun of it!

Spring is finally here, and I'm feeling a little homesick. It seems that when I'm homesick, I like to troll the internet for stuff that makes me even more homesick. There's a Youtube channel that I've talked about before, called Retrontario. They have all sorts of old commercials from Southern Ontario and Western New York. That channel is nothing but pure gold.

Now, if you love mini golf and catchy jingles, I have just the thing for you!


This commercial played over and over again for most of my childhood. I'm now 31 years old, and I haven't been able to get this stupid song out of my head. I'm not complaining, because it's a pretty great song.

Now, I'm no good at golf, be it mini or full-sized. I've always been fascinated by it, though. (The same applies to bowling.) I feel like it's something that I should like, because look at all those people in the ad! They're having the time of their lives! It's fun! The last time I played mini-golf was about two years ago. My wife was quite pregnant, and we had absolutely nothing to do that day. It was a fantastic day for a round of mini-golf. I did horribly, but my wife was actually pretty good.

I bet that putt putt course was the place to be on a Friday night in the towns of Tonawanda and Cheektowaga, New York back in the 80's.

Anyway, I really have nothing of any substance to add to this. It's a fun commercial with a fun jingle. Really, what more could you ask for?
