Today Lucas and I went mini golfing for a friend's birthday. I have never been mini golfing in Des Moines. Seeing how much I suck at it, it is not something I would pursue on my own. As such, this was not only my first time at West Grand Golf, but also my first time mini golfing with Lucas. Now Lucas is not a big golfer and there are some activities (all the ones listed above) that I excel at more than he does. Regardless, it doesn't take much to be better than me at anything golf related. Lucas was the only one out of our group of eight to get a hole in one (on hole 5, I believe). Without completely embarrassing myself, I came in just 6 points behind him and even beat a few people in our group.
The 18-hole course was fun and affordable. It cost $7 per adult and $2 for a Powerade. The sun was beating down on us even at 5pm, and there was very little shade. Other than that, no complaints here.
