King of the Links

I like to play golf. Not the kind of golf that one plays with clubs and carts and cleats and questionable clothing choices. I’m not even talking about the kind of golf that one plays outdoors.

I, of course, am referring to the kind of golf one plays on the screen of one’s computer. And it’s not even a “realistic” golf game; it’s actually a miniature golf game called “Crazy Golf”. And finally, just about ten minutes prior to my typing up this post, my day on the course finally arrived.

Allow me to explain.

I have been addicted to this game called “Crazy Golf” that is on this website called teagames.com. I discovered this site playing this bow and arrow game and I have sinced moved on to Crazy Golf. I have played this game a few times per day (and more on weekends) for the past month and a half and I have seen my scores steadily decrease as the days go by. (Remember, we’re talking about golf, so the lower the score the better).

I went from scores of +15 all the way down to my current low of -19. If you score low enough (meaning the lowest 100 players), you get the privilege of entering you name and score on their site for all to marvel at and be amazed by it’s lowness. Needless to say, I have been hopelessly obsessed with earning my spot in the pantheon of the superstar Crazy Golfers who have shot the lowest of the low rounds.

The only problem with this little obsession of mine is that lots of people play this game daily and my lowest score of -19 isn’t even close to making it on the board. There are people who play this game multiple times and score -29 and -30. (And this is on 18 holes!!!). So, when I finally shot a round that I thought really worthy of making the leaderboard, I found that I was not even close. Not by a long shot.

Until this afternoon (now, 15 minutes ago).

I shot a round of -16 and, like every time, the site offers one the opportunity to enter your name to be saved to the board. When I hit enter to see if anyone had shot better than a -30, I was flabbergasted and amazed to see my name, jasonp, and my last round’s score of -16 sitting pretty atop the leader board.

Now, I’m not so naive to believe that this score is going to be on top, or anywhere on this board tomorrow, or even an hour from now, but for this moment, I am the King of the Links.

If it’s photographic proof you seek, open your eyes and behold the majesty of jasonp, -16.

I know, I know, it’s a little tough to see. Just squint and you may see it! Trust me, it’s there.
