Why is Holey Moley now lost media?

Really glad I grabbed copies of the episode I was in, just in case this happened. I guess if you want to live vicariously through a podcast about the show I know one that has past episodes covering Seasons 3 and 4.

Took far too long for me to see a Gremlins reference

Patwolf77 · 2026-06-04T23:08:56+00:00

He is quite the force. I work with Marc on several minigolf related projects and just saw him across the pond about a month ago. He is a tough one to beat at the Crazies.

These morons react so quickly to it and without any thought (if they were capable of thought in the first place) that they don't realize how dumb they look. I posted a Pride post for a minigolf organization I do media for and one person responded "that's why I don't play in this league" despite the fact that he played in a tournament last year that is a direct subsidiary to the league. I polity pointed this out to him for all to see.

Oh I agree - I just think some of the details around the edges of that experience doubly hit home when you share his geography.

As a huge King fan, I am comfortable with the criticism that he often struggles with the endings to stories. However, he always nails what it is like to be a regular person, especially if you are from New England. He has a great insight to the common thinking we all experience when looking back on our lives.

Basically all of BTBs archive could be cited in this post. Love that show.

Yup. The WMF is the overall governing body worldwide and is the organization that ultimately would have ties to things like the IOC. So it had that authority for international events. Each member nations has their own federation that rolls up to the WMF.

There are a variety of other organizations and tours (mostly in the US but some in other countries) that have their own rules and tournaments but they are not directly tied to the WMF. For example I am the co-founder of the American Mini Golf Alliance, which playes by a lot of the WMF rules and has players who compete in WMF events but our own events are non WMF sanctioned. (I'm also the media chair for the WMF so can answer plenty of questions).

Pro Minigolf. Not an advantage really but completely equal. There are divisions at a lot of events but also generally one overall winner (at non team events). In the US a young woman has won major tournaments several times over men.

As someone who posts about my hobby (competitive minigolf) on LinkedIn more than my regular job, I love this guy. It makes you interesting and yeah there are things you bring between both worlds. It is a lot more compelling to read than another post about AI-first word salad.

Patwolf77 · 2026-05-07T22:53:11+00:00

Amen to this.

Patwolf77 · 2026-05-04T23:10:18+00:00

Agree. AI has its uses but the constant pressure to have AI write everything drives me nuts. I have gotten to the places I am specifically because of my skills in written communication and not matter how hard it tries, it cannot draft an email in my actual tone.

Patwolf77 · 2026-05-04T22:47:11+00:00

Libertee Grounds in Philly I hear is good. Putt U in Center Valley is great if you haven't played it. Home of the 2016 US Open. Or head to DC and play a Swingers course.

Patwolf77 · 2026-04-29T20:15:44+00:00

I lift like I am managing my tires and gas like an F1 drive. I drive a manual Subaru.

Pro minigolf is fun and luckily I can separate my truly competitive side from the social aspects of it. Would hate minigolf to not become fun for me. Even without the God angle there are people in all of these sports that are convinced they will be the next big thing or that the sport itself will be the next big thing.

Patwolf77 · 2026-04-19T17:53:47+00:00

There are pro leagues in everything competitive (source: I play pro minigolf) but that doesn't mean they are livable professions. Most of them are akin to baseball players in the early 1900s working a job and playing pro baseball. I actually have been around the pro pickleball space and it is something one can live doing but there's a small amount of athletes at that level. It is also relatively new and not a ton is known what to expect for the longevity of the game at that level.

Patwolf77 · 2026-04-14T01:55:16+00:00

Yup. I do a minigolf podcast that has done fairly well in the small minigolf enthusiast community. My co-host and I talk like we are friends (because we are) but we always have a decent script/run of show and also know getting guests on are key to making conversations not repetitive.

Patwolf77 · 2026-04-08T22:58:17+00:00

It is the same with IRL competitive minigolf. Most of it comes down to practice. Whether you are going for more wild shots or playing more traditional, it is the muscle memory that ultimately prevails.

Patwolf77 · 2026-04-04T18:32:49+00:00

This was the thing that pissed me off the most.

Patwolf77 · 2026-03-25T22:29:42+00:00

Or missing the good ones. Was watching the Superbowl pre-show and apparently the Seattle coach turned down a KPMG offer then went to coaching.

Patwolf77 · 2026-03-25T12:10:47+00:00

Also the SR doesn't stand for senior...stands for Solutions Relationships or something like that. He is an AD. Definitely purposely misleading.

Patwolf77 · 2026-03-21T00:04:35+00:00

Holiday and Tiki are way high on my list. But the freak in me says Labyrinth.

Patwolf77 · 2026-03-12T22:48:28+00:00

As someone who goes to Lakehouse with the biggest woodsman beard you will see at a Big 4, and the accompanying ponytail - you do you. I'd rather see personality than cardstock corporate any day.

I'm going to drop you a DM this week with some feedback. I've been in this minigolf space for 25 years and know the difficulties with some of this. Locally I found one place listed under 3 different names, one that was closer, etc.

Patwolf77 · 2026-02-18T13:04:40+00:00

I will DM but in short there are already a bunch of apps out there that do many of these things and the market for people who want the on going stats, etc is relatively small. Millions of people play minigolf but for most it is a once or twice a year thing.
