What's Happening?
Kyle Courcy and James Parsons, two mini-golf enthusiasts, are on a mission to play every mini-golf course in Massachusetts. Their journey began during the COVID-19 pandemic and has led them to review 66 courses so far for their website, Mass Mini Golf. The duo has explored courses across the state, from Greater Boston to the Berkshires, and even internationally ranked in mini-golf. They have 15 courses left to complete their goal, with plans to finish on Martha's Vineyard. Their favorites include Lakeview Driving Range in Lunenburg and Max's Country Golf in Tyngsborough.
Why It's Important?
This project highlights the cultural significance and recreational appeal of mini-golf, a pastime that offers fun and relaxation for people of all ages. The endeavor showcases the diversity of mini-golf courses in Massachusetts, potentially boosting local tourism as enthusiasts visit different regions to experience unique courses. The initiative also reflects the broader trend of individuals seeking leisure activities that provide a sense of adventure and community, especially during times of social distancing.
What's Next?
As Courcy and Parsons continue their quest, their reviews may inspire others to explore mini-golf courses, increasing foot traffic and business for course operators. Their project could lead to collaborations with tourism boards to promote mini-golf as a family-friendly activity. Additionally, their completion of the goal might spark interest in similar challenges in other states, encouraging people to discover local attractions and engage in recreational activities.
