Mini golf its own sport with prizes, champs and U.S. Open
Matt Male is the reigning champ.
The miniature-golf version has been designated the Master’s – with an apostrophe – to keep from running afoul of the folks who stage the venerable Masters golf tournament.
The victory comes with $4,000 cash, an embossed crystal vase and a green wind breaker that is every bit as coveted by mini-golf pros as that green sport coat at Augusta.
‘It was exhilarating,’ said Male, who works as a copy editor for a bank in Columbus. ‘I knew I had the game to do it if everything went right.’
Coming off that win, he was one of four US players selected to travel in June to Pristina, Kosovo, for a tournament against the best putters in the world.
That field will likely include Olivia Prokopova, who at 21 is a bona fide celebrity in her native Czech Republic because of her prowess on the green carpet.

its been in pro golf a long time Some used it in the early days because they had lower back problems and couldn’t use a short putter

Other than putt putt, golf is one sport I never took an interest in and I never seen a golf club that looked like that. Thanks for providing me some knowledge :)
