to Feb 25

Walkabout Mini Golf VR 2024 AMA Virtual Scoring Event 1

Results

The first week of Season 12 of the Mighty Coconut Walkabout Weekly Tournament paired two courses released in 2023, Journey to the Center of the Earth (Easy) and Atlantis (Hard). Both courses have lots of tricky holes where hole-in-ones are hard to come by and an errant tee shot can put you into bogey territory. Despite all of these challenges, we see a familiar face at the top of the leaderboard. Jorge Rimblas won his 3rd AMA Walkabout event in a row with a combined -35. Jorge tied Matt Roalstad for most hole-in-ones with 6 and tied Mick Cullen for the best score on the Atlantis (hard) course with a -14. Jorge took an uncharacteristic 5 on Atlantis #17 but closed with the challenging ace on #18 to secure the win. Jorge needed that ace because 2022 AMA season winner Mick Cullen was only 2 strokes behind with a -33. Shawn Brown narrowly lands in 3rd with an impressive -22 on the easy course. Matt Roalstad, Tom Loftus and Kyle Courcy all had strong rounds to narrowly put them in the top half of finishers who would receive a single point.

Congrats again to Jorge! He’s the AMA player to beat on Walkabout right now. 🏆🏆🏆

Expect another Walkabout virtual scoring event sometime in Oct/Nov 2024.

O-Street Mini Golf: Winter Classic

Results

O-Street Mini Golf’s 9th Annual Winter Classic took place at Manchester Family Golf Center in Manchester, NJ. Fifteen brave souls from around New Jersey traveled to what some say is the “Central” part of the state, for two rounds of stroke play to determine this year’s champion. The conditions were wet from the morning of rain, with temps in the low 40s. The course consisted of long, winding holes with a few hole in one opportunities. After the first round, the defending champion Griffin Weiss was tied with his brother Landon (last year’s O-Street Open Champion) with 41’s. Griffin’s second round was a bit rocky with two 4s, but then recovered with back to back holes in one and a strong finish of 40. Landon was staying close behind, but needed a hole in one on Hole 18 to tied his brother....and got it! Griffin and Landon went into a three hole playoff and were still tied after two holes. On the third hole (Hole 14), Griffin set himself up for an easy two and Landon unfortunately, couldn’t match it. Griffin Weiss won the Battle of the Brothers and defended his title.

Coziest Mini Golf Open

Recap/Scores

The 3rd Coziest Open saw the largest turnout in the event by double with the majority of new players coming from the amateur division. This was the first time that qualifying didn’t determine the field as well. 10 of the 34 competitors were 16 years old or younger giving A Couple of Putts their youngest field in the 8 tournaments they have hosted.

In the pro division, Tom Loftus won from start to finish with a 3-round total of 88. After finishing in the final position of the Coziest Open in 2023, Kameron Haselius set the course record with a final round of 27 and jumped up to 2nd place to get his first podium for an AMA event. Mick Cullen played solid all day and only fell to 3rd due to Kameron’s outstanding play. Bryan Akers from The Putter’s League Atlanta made his Coziest Open debut with a top 5 finish. In the aces-only round for pro players outside of the top 6, Anthony Dunkel won in a tie-breaker with Amanda Farahany of Putter’s League Atlanta and Marcel Neinhus. All of them shot 4 aces in their aces-only round.

Mark Giannini ran away with the amateur division top spot with a pro-level 2-round score of 65. Matt Tellander won a two-hole playoff against Kathleen Malone for 2nd place.

Tom Loftus and Shawn Brown played a tie-breaker for most aces through 2 rounds. Both of them shot 9 hole-in-ones during the first two rounds and in the tie-breaker, Shawn made the ace on #14 & Tom missed to make Shawn the winner of most aces that includes a prize back from our friends at OneShot Golf.

The Prodigium Minigolf Tournament

We started the new year and new season with an all ALL NEW mini golf tournament in Easthampton, Massachusetts at Prodigy Mini Golf. The course has evolved into its second iteration, designed by the mastermind and owner of Prodigy Jeff Bujak. The Prodigium Mid-Winter Cup (co-organized by O-Street Mini Golf) brought out 25 players from the Northeast, with a majority being AMA members like yourselves. Some players included Aaron Kaminski, Griffin Weiss, Kyle Courcy, and Justin Seymour (all top 10 players from last season). The format consisted of two rounds of 17 holes and ended up a three way tie in first place between newcomer David Bava, the reigning Matterhorn International Pro-Am champ Dave Vayda, and last year’s AMA season winner Aaron Kaminski. But it was Dave Vayda with a commanding three stroke lead in the playoff, who was victorious. David Bava took second place and Aaron ended up in third place.

2023 AMA Virtual Players Gathering & Meeting

Competitors from the Dolphin Open in Maine. September 2023

This past year saw the American Mini Golf Alliance (AMA) grow in leaps and bounds with 17 in-person putting events and 4 virtual events on Walkabout Mini Golf VR and the Putt18 mat. We want to put a bow on the season with a online gathering of players to wrap up the season, to take in feedback for 2024 and provide an opportunity for players to connect from around the country.

We’ll be gathering on Zoom and you can connect by going to bit.ly/ama2023playergathering. Our plan is to record the gathering and make a link available to those that are not able to attend.

In advance of the gathering, we have created a survey to collect feedback, thoughts and suggestions from players that you can find at https://bit.ly/ama2023survey We really value the input from people who are interested in helping making the AMA better and more fun.

Look forward to seeing you on Thursday, December 7th at 8pm central / 9pm eastern.

2023 Putterz Course Repeat Champion, Kory Klotz

Kory Klotz became a repeat Putterz course championship on October 28th, 2023 in Newark, Ohio in the final AMA scoring event of the season. Kory had to go to an 18-hole playoff with Jeff Studer to take the top spot. Jon Lang won a 4-hole aggregate tie-breaker against Matt Male to take home 3rd place. Both players tied for the best round of the tournament with each of them carding a round of 25.

Thanks to Jon and Kory for sharing photos from the tournament. For those of you not familiar with Putt-Putt style courses, you should take a look at the final scores. The top 4 players averaged under 29 per round over 6 rounds and no one in the field shot worse than a 34 in a single round.

Matthew Kraus (top left) - 1st Place

Mark Schroeder-Strong - Best Single Game

Zachery Kraus (front left) - 2nd Place

Alex Parys - 3rd Place

Short recap by Tom Loftus

66 competitors that qualified for the tournament by scoring under par (42) got together on the morning of Saturday, August 5th for 3 rounds of mini golf. Groups of 3 to 4 putters in each group took a shotgun start and played three sets of 18 holes in succession.

I’ve only personally competed in this tournament two years and it was a deja vu moment seeing the top two spots go to the exact same players. Matt Kraus repeated as the champion for his 3rd championship at the Red Putter and his brother Zach came in a close 2nd. Alex Parys won a sudden-death playoff versus Gary Hester on Hole #7 to take home 3rd place. Former Red Putter champion Mark Schroeder-Strong not only tied the course record (which he already held at 31) but he made one of only 8 recorded hole-in-one shots on Hole #1 throughout the history of the tourney.

Event Details
2023 Marked 21 years of Pro Tournaments at the Red Putter Mini Golf! This is the first time this event will allow competitors to qualify for American Mini Golf Alliance (AMA) scoring points.

Recap

Words by Mick Cullen - Full Recap with photo

The biggest swing of the final 18 took place at the 8th hole of Par-King Red, where Mick Cullen and Kevin Weiss each carded a 3 while Landon Weiss and Griffin Weiss posted fives, causing a three-way tie atop the leaderboard at -14. The standings remained tight thereafter, until Cullen and Kevin Weiss entered the final hole knotted at -14, with Derek Hartmann carrying the same score after the completion of his round. After Kevin Weiss’s 3 on the pinball-style 18th hole, Cullen holed a 2 to clinch a one-stroke victory at -15. Hartmann and Kevin Weiss tied for second, a single stroke back (-14), with Griffin Weiss and Tommy Schweiss matching scores in 4th place (-13).

On the final leaderboard, just 7 strokes separated 1st place from 10th, and four rookies made the top ten, foreshadowing what will likely be some competitive fields in the coming years as well!

to Jan 22

Walkabout Mini Golf VR AMA Scoring Event

Recap

Utilizing the well-organized league and tournament system embedded within Walkabout Mini Golf VRs Discord Channel, we were able to give an opportunity for people from around the world to compete in VR in a 24-hour period between January 21st & 22nd (or just the 22nd if you live in the UK or further east). The first week of the league put all 15 easy and hard courses in play for the two-round set. Out of the nearly 100 competitors to play in the weekly league, 16 AMA members from around the world opted in to use their results to gain points in the 2023 AMA season.

League regular from Mexico, Jorge Rimblas came out ahead in first place with help from an impressive -21 on the Quixote Valley Hard course. League regular and new AMA member, Jimmy Wilson, combined two strong rounds for a 2nd place finish. While Tom wasn’t thrilled about his results on a couple of holes on the Arizona Modern Easy course, he was able to share the round with Darren Hickman who had the best round of the AMA members on that desert-themed course with a -27. This score is only 5 off the world record and secured Darren a tie for 3rd in the event with Matt Roalstad who has turned in numerous wins across competitive IRL mini golf events in Minnesota as well as a 4th place finish in last year’s Miniest Mini Golf Open.

Maybe the most notable result is this shot (see video below) from 8-year-old Max Cullen. It was equally hilarious and impressive. Max’s energy for the game of mini golf is a joy for us to witness.
