Grandparent's Day
TIME
Registration sign in: 4 - 4:30 pm
Tee-Off: 5:00 pm SHARP!
Don't confuse this with other mini golf events.
We've altered the stakes with opportunities to buy“competitive advantages”…
This is a wacky miniature golf game for players of all ages!
Want to distract your opponent??
Squirt 'em with your “wet advantage.”
Want to stop that last putt?
How about putting a“blocker brick”down so he can't get to the hole?
All's fair in this new version of mini golf where you call the shots! Lots of fun as you squirt, block, and bounce your way to a win!
With your participation, the real “advantages”go to Grandparents As Parents to support programs services for children.

T-OFF FOR TYKES Miniature Golf Tournament 2007
Grandparents Day 2007 was a perfect reason to hold GAP’s first annual fundraiser at Castle Rock Park Miniature Golf course in Sherman Oaks, California. The weather was sunny with a nice breeze, the pizza was delicious and the ice cream snacks were refreshingly sticky. The 90 golfers – ages 5 months to 80+ years – needed about an hour and a half to play the 18-hole course and to get into some mischief. The 40-strong cheering section did its best to encourage everyone.
Competition was stiff as some players purchased ‘advantage items’ such as water guns, and bricks. Determined golfers squirted their opponents with the water pistols. One player put a brick over the hole her opponent was aiming at. Some very creative score-keeping took place but after the trophies were presented, everyone went home happy.
In addition to the fundraising entry fees, there was a raffle and a silent auction that helped generate additional monies to support GAP’s valuable programs and services.
Be ready for next year – September 7, 2008 is Grandparent’s Day and a new champion will emerge!
