Tom and Pat managed to wrangle two of the most infamous names in UK minigolf, though we use the term "wrangle" loosely. Ted "Big Top" McIver and Tim "Ace Man" Davies have been around the world of minigolf for 25+ years and collaborated on the seminal tome "Nutters with Putters". We somehow managed to get them to talk about their history, their views on some courses in the UK, the current state of UK minigolf and drop some hints for coming attractions. This was all intertwined with a plethora of stories from the past and bickering about details the way only two long-time friends can do. What we didn't know is that they hadn't talked to each other in 10 years! There's plenty more surprises dropped like that throughout the interview and we hope to have these two blokes on again sometime.

Tom and Pat hosted a live Puttcast session on Facebook and YouTube on January 15, 2025. For this episode they went away from the normal recapping of events and focused on a variety of a miniature golf culture items, specifically focusing on books in their libraries and games they have played. It was a great look at many items that are available to purchase now to keep away those off-season blues as well as several harder to find and out-of-print items that may now be collectors items.

Tom and Pat welcome to the show a fellow podcaster and long-time friend of the pod Marc Chapman {2:25}. Marc recently won the World Crazy Golf Championship marking his 4th win of this tournament since 2018. They talk about his history with minigolf, the World Crazies specifically and why winning that tournament is so special. They also discuss his thoughts on minigolf in general and ask him to put on his development hat to chat about how other places can replicate the success of the Crazies. After that they spend some time chatting about the recent results of the M.C Mini Masters (an AMA event) and look forward to a couple AMA events on the July schedule. {77:13} Find visuals and context for our conversations on social media: Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/puttcastmini/) | Twitter (https://twitter.com/puttcastmini) | Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/puttcastmini) Follow A Couple of Putts at @coupleputts on Instagram (https://instagram.com/coupleputts), Twitter (https://twitter.com/coupleputts) & Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/CouplePutts/) and The Putting Penguin on Twitter (https://twitter.com/puttingpenguin), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/theputtingpenguin/), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/theputtingpenguin) as well.

Tom and Pat are back in the "studio" remembering how to podcast after catching up on sleep from the World Adventure Golf Masters (WAGM). They dive deep into WAGM (4:15) giving a quick overview of the tournament in total and then talking about Tom's experience as a rookie there. This leads to all sorts of discussion about the international style of play at these tournaments and where they see ways the US game can improve and grow at that level. It was then time to touch on the results of a handful of recent events like the World Crazy Golf Championship (57:50), the AMA 1st Rosebud Open {1:03:30}, the AMA Salty Seagull tournament (1:05:52), the PPA National Invitational (1:08:05) and a recent Putting World event (1:10:03). They find their way again by the end of the episode to wrap up looking at some upcoming events in June/July (1:11:00). This episode may have gotten wondering at times but there was a lot going on since they chatted last!

Tom and Pat kick off the show with a look at the WMF's World Adventure Golf (WAG) Tour final, which sets the stage for our interviewees (3:50). With the AMA (and minigolf in general) season now in full gear they looked at two recent tournaments in NJ and MN (15:24) and then ran through a bunch of US and international results (28:15). After all the updates, it was time to bring on Dave Vayda and Caleb Smith from Connecticut who made the WAG Tour final based on their placement in the Matterhorn International Pro-Am in 2023 (36:50). Pat has been working with both as they prepped for the final and the interview was just after they returned form the Czech Republic. For both, it was their first international competition. They chatted about the difficulty of the tournament, the amazing atmosphere around the tournament by players and organizers and just the overall experience of the trip.

It's been long overdue that we sit down with fellow minigolf enthusiast Richard Gottfried, he of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and a Guinesss World Record holder. Given the massive amount of courses Tom, Pat and Richard have visited and their overall pulse on the industry, this episode focused on the trends we are all seeing in recreational minigolf. We talk electronics, bar-tainment, chains expanding and more on different gameplays and course styles. There's speculation on the cycles of minigolf and where we might be when it comes to this business that certainly seems to be in a boom. There's even talk of pirate dinosaurs!

We start off with a quick chat about some AMA tournament announcements and reminders about upcoming tournaments. Then Pat and Tom cover the recent Golf.com article (linked below) that they both contributed to as it was developed over the past month. From there they travel nearly around the world sharing the various courses, tournaments and minigolf experiences they had that made 2023 such a wild year of putting for them. They touched nearly every part of competitive and casual minigolf available - Putt Putt, CityGolf, World Championships, Masters, World Adventure Golf Tour, Popstroke, Puttshack, Swingers and more and more and more! It's a great way to look back not only at the year but the expanse of the minigolf landscape before we dive into whatever 2024 brings us.

It's a quick chat about some recent news and rumors around the 2024 putting events including Popstroke and American Mini Golf Alliance (AMA) before Tom and Pat tee off on Holey Moley now being on Netflix. While they have referenced their time on the show before while covering seasons 3 and 4 on the podcast, this is the first time they fully dove into their experiences. They walk through their individual episodes and give some behind the scenes views of what it was like on set, how things were filmed and edited and ultimately what the experience of being on the show meant for them. If you ever wanted the full story of how our co-hosts first met in person, kickstarting almost 5 years of trips to tournaments, formations of leagues and the formation of this very podcast, you'll get it in this episode! It's a great fun way to wrap up 2023 and give you a reason to binge the series again.

Your co-hosts Tom (aka Mr. Tee) of A Couple of Putts, Pat of The Putting Penguin and fellow American Mini Golf Alliance organizer, Aaron Kaminski of O-Street, hosted a AMA player's meeting over Zoom. The quality of the recording turned out well and we wanted to make it available on the Puttcast to our listeners who are interested in developments in competitive mini golf in the US. We had a Q & A section and at the top of the episode, Tom explains what we included from that session. There were a lot of specific questions about the details of an upcoming tournament in January that didn't feel as relevant to a larger audience as the other some of the other broader questions about the AMA. We wanted to keep the episode to about 1.5 hours which we did!

Before getting into the nitty gritty of the American Mini Golf Alliance (AMA) season, Tom and Pat chat about the recent PopStroke championship event. They highlight the winners (plenty of minigolf names on the leaderboard) and have a conversation about where they see the future of that competition going. From there it is a quick look at the last of the AMA events over the past month and then a deep dive into the 2023 miniature golf season. They look at the season winners, chat about some other notable names, breakdown how the tournaments and scoring turned out then give a critical eye to what they improved on in 2023 and areas that the AMA can still strive to be better.

Tell all your friends that this week on the podcast we are joined by Taking Back Sunday vocalist Adam Lazzara! You may know him as the charismatic frontman for an incredibly influential band but Vanessa is far more interested in learning about how he worked in a deli and his go-to sandwich order. We also explore the tropical connotations of Thousand Island salad dressing, Taking Back Sunday's recent experience placing a backyard show and Jonah puts on his musical journalist hat to discuss the phenomenon of "emo nostalgia". But that's not all. We also dig deep into the history of miniature golf, our favorite putt-putt memories from childhood and explore the recent craze of "eat-ertainment". We wrap up the fun with a round of CHANGE DOT DORK where we debate the merits of flatter nachos, cool cat emojis and updates to the Cap'n Crunch cereal box. Make (damn) sure to pick up Taking Back Sunday's latest album 152 when it comes out on October 27th! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Despite feeling under the weather, Tom joined Pat to talk about a busy September month of travel and putting for both of them, starting with a full slate of AMA events. They then look at where the AMA rankings are with just a couple IRL and virtual events left in the 2023 schedule. After that it's some quick conversation about other big events around the world include more WMF World Adventure Golf Tour tournaments, the CityGolf finals and a look at some more Popstroke action. They wrap up the episode with some quick chat about their upcoming trip to the USPMGA Masters (which you'll be able to find more about on the Puttcast Facebook and Instagram feeds while they are down there).

We are live (or we were at least)! Tom and Pat took to the virtual airwaves of Facebook live for this episode to chat about a slew of major events happening in June. They were joined by Team USA's own (and World Champion) Vanette Block who just landed from her trip to the World Adventure Golf Masters (WAGM) in Austria. They spent a lot of time discussing that tournament, the style of play and the comraderie these international events have. Vanette stays on to also chat with Tom about his trip to the World Crazy Golf Championship (Crazies), which we had previewed in the last episode with our guest Seve. They take a short interlude to talk about the recent Odetah Mini Golf (OMG) Classic in Connecticut along with a special appearance by Pat as a whale. Then the team wraps the episode up talking about the World Putting League's third event happening in Myrtle Beach on June 26th. Finally, Tom fires his way through a bunch of other events, most of which he will be playing, in late June and early July including the AMA events the M.C. Mini Masters and Putter League Championship. It's a long episode but with so many wonderful tournaments to talk about it is hard not to be excited and chatty about the summer in the minigolf world!

They stayed in Myrtle Beach to talk about the U.S. Open but then slid over to Texas to discuss the newest AMA event, the Texas Minigolf Championship. Pat then listened on with a little bit of minigolf jealousy as Tom talked about his recent trip to Sweden which concluded with him playing the first event of the 2023 CityGolf tour. Back in the States the guys previewed the upcoming Looniest Open, which they would both be playing in, and the next Popstroke event which they won't be in. It was a final look at a big money Putting World event before closing out the episode with some other odds and ends. Lots of variety in location and courses this time around!

Before talking about organizing, the guys recap many moving parts in the competitive putting world. They chatted briefly about the new WMF World Adventure Golf Tour, which you can find more about in their recent live broadcast. Sticking with some worldwide putting, they looked at the make-up of Team USA and threw down a fundraising challenge to the USPMGA. Later in the episode they'd talk about what they know, or don't know, about the upcoming World Putting League event on April 20th but before that it was some AMA talk with changing dates of one tournament and adding the Texas Minigolf Championship at Longview Greens to the slate for April. With all the formalities out of the way, Tom & Pat opened up the floor to discuss many of the factors to consider when you're developing a miniature golf tournament. From picking the right course and format, to considerations around cost to play and prizes to pay out, to rules, registration and score keeping, they hit eveything they can think of that they have worked through over years of tournament organization.

Some of you didn't listen closely enough to EP 89. I was NOT kidnapped by circus animals, as I wrote in my phony autobiography, Forest of Ennui. But thanks for your concern. One of you thinks I should give up on golf, I explain why I can't, we discuss why professional miniature golf was bad TV, why axe throwing in bars is fun but stay away from political arguments, a visit to the Bobblehead Museum in Milwaukee, I tell a lie but the Truth Monitor catches me, I counsel a Jewsih client worried that veggie bacon is an abomination, and guess why a Home Depot clerk reacted poorly to a client who might have been a psycho killer and the advice I gave to them and any angry people who want to shoot up public places all in 16 minutes. Subscribe and THRIVE!!!
Nobody knows why, but people in the 90s thought if golf video games had comedians in them, maybe that would connect with the kids? Anyway, Eugene Levy fails to convince the boys that this golf is all that whacky.
