crazy golf

Episode Warning: Going into this interview, we were not aware that there would be discussion of abuse and mistreatment. We are honored that Olivia was willing to share such a sensitive topic with us but understand that this may be triggering for some listeners. We do provide a warning within the episode as well prior to the discussion. Our hosts kick off the episode chatting about the ongoing (at the time) virtual AMA tournaments on the Putt18 mat and in Walkabout Mini Golf then pivot a bit to the PopStroke tournament season kicking of in Orlando and AMA members winning a team event. Then it is onto our discussion with Olivia Prokopová, one of the greats of the US putting world. The last time they had chatted (https://youtu.be/RQHkfM0sHAI) with her was right after her winning the USPMGA Master's for the 4th time, tying her for the most Master's tournaments won. When you combine that with 5 US Opens and no one has a better winning percentage in the 25+ years of USPMGA major tournaments. We talk about a variety of topics with her, from her favorite courses to play, how she approaches minigolf when "off the clock", things she'd like to see for professional miniature golf in the future and some of her remaining goals for tournaments. We also end up with some serious talk about a period in her career that presented some challenges and having to overcome them.

To wrap up 2022 our hosts wanted to chat with someone having a career year on the mini-links.

After 9 tournaments over nearly 9 months of competitive putting, the first American Minigolf Alliance (AMA) season comes to an end and Tom and Pat celebrate the success of the season. Before that, though, they recap the slate of 4 September AMA tournaments that ranged from Maine to Connecticut to Missouri to Minnesota.

It all culminated in Mick Cullen taking the top prize after a 1st at the Miniest Mini Golf Open and a 2nd at the M.C. Mini Masters. He was able to squeak ahead of Justin Seymour and Matt Liles who put on some great putting clinics in the Northeast this year and share 2nd place to round out the podium. Pat & Tom cover the whole top 15 as well as looking at some stats over membership and participant levels, as well as looking at their own performances within the AMA.

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered our hosts Tom and Pat recorded a podcast beyond the Goblin City with two of the creators of the newest Walkabout Mini Golf course - Labyrinth! Henning Koczy & Don Carson from Mighty Coconut joined our hosts to talk a litany of minigolf related topics. They went deep into the style of the Labyrinth course and tried not to give away too much to spoilers. They talked favorite IRL (in real life) minigolf courses and styles, some hopes and expectations for Walkabout courses in the future and what all goes into designing something that looks and feels realistic while also being the most fantasical courses you'll ever putt on. What's said was said during the podcast - but don't worry our hosts meant it all and there's no chance in anyone being turned into the Prince of the Land of Stench!

Tom and Pat welcome back Mick Cullen, a guest who they had on in the previous version of this show "We're Gonna Need a Bigger Windmill" that live streamed on Facebook (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnRIeL30ySk) during Season 2 of Holey Moley.

Tom and Pat welcome to the "studio" Jenna Barkheimer and Brinn Hollander, who were contestants on Season 4 and became friends while out filming - something that wasn't the easiest to do with Covid restrictions. They give us some of the behind-the-scenes views of filming in Season 4 and talk about their similar exits on Holeywood. We also talk their interest in the show, holes they would have liked to played and overall learn about thier life outside of their few minutes on TV.

Pat and Tom kick off the episode recapping some recent US mini golf tournament results before turning thier attention to episode 5 and episode 6. They marvel at how good an episode of reality television episode 6 was, especially when contrasted to the rather bland episode 5. There was plenty of talk of completed obstacles, putt offs, high stakes betting and of course what might have been the most entertaining Distractor ever with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Tom and Pat get to live vicariously through another Holey Moley winner as they are joined by Nate Kennelly, who putted his way to the top of episode 2 of Holey Moley Season Fore-Ever (season 4). They dive into his experiences on the course, which included two new holes for season 4, how he ended up with his iconic Rob Riggle outfit and find out which familiar voice was a guiding mentor in Nate's path to the championship. It's a fun interview with a big and positive personality.

Pat and Tom kick off the episode recapping some recent and upcoming tournament news before turning thier attention to episode 4. They talk TV pilots, the recurrance of certain holes so far, an all female semi-finale and the lack of shotgunning beers in the contestant tent. Good luck to them both as they will tee off against each other in a tournament in CT on June 5th!

Tom and Pat combine their thoughts on two Holey Moley episodes this week after taking a week off from recording to focus on National Minature Golf Day. They discuss two excellent winners, very real minigolf moments and what they did on National Miniature Golf Day. Tom breaks down the hole distribution including a new hole on episode 2. Pat talks kidnapping Muppets and the introduction of the ultimate diva. They also both fawn over bears. Congrats also go out to Olivia Prokopova, who won the 2022 USPMGA U.S. Open. She is now a 5 time winner, the most of anyone in the U.S. Open history!

Holey Moley Season 4 (Fore-Ever) teed off this week with the Muppets jumping into the fun. Tom and Pat break down the episode taking a look at the three new holes (Holeywood, Trap-Tee-ze, Full Mooeny) and the return of some classics with a few updates. They laugh over the Muppets antics and fawn over the best sports car in the world. Mr. Tee does a bit of a high wire act in a breakdown of Trap-Tee-ze before they wrap up with some thoughts on the upcoming National Miniature Golf Day (May 14th).
