Trip to Maine - Post #14: Dolphin Mini Golf

After a visit to the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine, we drove around a bit enjoying the scenery before stopping in Boothbay to do a bit of mini golfing. This was a request by our youngest daughter. She wanted to do some mini golfing so we promised we'd stop at least once. Turns out we stopped twice, but the second course we played will come in a later post.

Dolphin Mini Golf is a well-maintained course with plenty of shade in case it's a hot, sunny day. Not all that different from many other mini golf courses, but a nice break from driving around. None of us made a hole in one on the last hole to earn a free round of golf. This is very common at most mini golf courses and I've never accomplished this feat. Maybe one day!

With mini golf comes a great deal of physics. Newton's laws of motion come into play when striking the ball. How much force is enough? How much is too much? And you can't play mini golf without understanding how angles work! You can never get away from physics, especially when it comes to mini golf! And one playing with kids, you can almost guarantee one of them will knock the ball off the course at least once and probably multiple times!
