Today’s awesome story of the day comes to us from Toledo, Ohio, where the Mud Hens (AAA affiliate of the Tigers) are turning their home ballpark, Fifth Third Field, into a pair of mini golf courses, with all proceeds going to charity. Here’s the description of the two courses, courtesy of Sports Turf Manager Jake Tyler.
“The Links at Fifth Third Field will be flat with no rolling hills and slopes, but it will be challenging” said Tyler. “The first nine holes will have a lot of angles, dog legs, and sand traps. The back nine gets confusing when the fairway of 14 and 15 intersect each other and hole 17 may be the hardest because it finishes up on top of the pitcher’s mound.”
This is awesome. Even though I’m an adult, I love to mini-golf during the summer, and playing a mini-golf course at a baseball stadium would be awesome.
The courses will be open from September 25th-28th, and cost $15 per player. All proceeds will go to charity. Well done, Mud Hens.
