"Putt Putt Golf 'N' Games in Arlington, TX!!"

Now I know what you're thinking..."Hey Mike, Putt Putt has been around for years! Why would you waste time covering THAT!?" Well, that's a good question, albeit a little harsh. The Putt Putt I went to was nothing more then a golf course a not much else, but what would you expect from Duncanville (AKA: Dumpville)? So, without further ado, let's visit what a mini golf course is supposed to look like!



Yes, I know that's an elephant's behind. But look how high it is!! Let's move on, shall we?



Here we see the river of broken dreams. If you'd ever hit a ball in here and had to incur that nasty 2-stroke penalty, you'd know exactly what I mean.



See the alligator? It's not real. You never saw a more disappointed group of kids then the ones who found that out. However, you get five tickets from the arcade if you hit the ball off the gator's nose and/or tail. Remember "Frogger"? How you could jump on the gator's body but if ya got too close to the mouth it was lights out? Same deal.



Here we see the employee lounge, located convienently in the 2nd floor of this giant rock. They make 'em work for their lunch break, don't ya know.



Same deal with the giant seahorse. Again, not real. Again, five tickets if ya hit it with your ball and/or club.



Ten points if you can find the elusive river raft someone fashioned from a styrofoam cup. Some people will play golf with anything.



Interesting fact about lighthouses: there are no more man-operated ones. The last one went automatic in 1990. I wonder if anyone lives in this one...spooky...



Had no idea giraffes were such good climbers, did ya? Considering they have 6 ft legs, I'd be surprised if they couldn't get up there.



This shot was kind of interesting. Just enough space to peek out of and see the wondrous waterfall. At least I HOPE that's water! There are an awful lot of animals on top of these things.



Oy, another giraffe. They've taken over! Run for your lives! Okay, just kidding, they ain't goin' anywhere. I guess when yout think safari wildnerness, you think...golf...?



Everyone say bye to our friend, the rhino!! He really can be a friend once you get to know him.
