What is the charm, the allure, the attraction of mini golf? For you, at least, if not globally and cosmologically.
10:13
I mean, for me, and I think my answer will be a little bit different than Tom's, but for me, it's that like any themed environment, it's that transcendence.
10:21
It's that leaving your everyday life and going into being transported to like a new magical place.
10:29
And the best courses that have the most fun theming and the nostalgia and the kitsch and the oversized dinosaurs and fairy tales and all of that, like that shift in scale really brings you out of again your your day-to-day into this like new magical place where you get to be immersed and like bring your your mind on a journey and so we always talk about how like a mini golf ball as it travels through a hole or a course, it gets to go on this adventure, it gets to go through the loop or into the castle or through the pipes or jump or whatever that particular gameplay is.
11:10
And while we can't physically follow the ball through the pipe or in the loop, our mind travels along with it and gets to imagine that journey and so it's this like we get to like live vicariously through the mini golf balls journey and there's something really compelling about that uh and yeah that shifted scale that um the the competition but not right the doing something analog in this day and age of so much digital and screens like just being out and Often it's, when I think of Maygolf at its peak, it's like a beautiful summer evening.
11:48
Usually there's some ice cream involved.
11:51
You know, it's a whole package in that, like, perfect, what a great night of Maygolf is.

You can talk about specific places, but tell me, what are the features? What are the things that light you up? When are you going like, yes, this is the spirit of mini golf?
