It's a quick chat about some recent news and rumors around the 2024 putting events including Popstroke and American Mini Golf Alliance (AMA) before Tom and Pat tee off on Holey Moley now being on Netflix. While they have referenced their time on the show before while covering seasons 3 and 4 on the podcast, this is the first time they fully dove into their experiences. They walk through their individual episodes and give some behind the scenes views of what it was like on set, how things were filmed and edited and ultimately what the experience of being on the show meant for them. If you ever wanted the full story of how our co-hosts first met in person, kickstarting almost 5 years of trips to tournaments, formations of leagues and the formation of this very podcast, you'll get it in this episode! It's a great fun way to wrap up 2023 and give you a reason to binge the series again.

Pat and Tom kick off the episode recapping some recent US mini golf tournament results before turning thier attention to episode 5 and episode 6.

With us about a month out from the International Mini Golf Summit (April 20-23) to be held outside of Austin at Dreamland in Dripping Springs, TX, we thought it was a good idea to dive into a few things around the event and tournament as registration is now open. Your episode hosts Pat, Tom & Aaron are all founders of the American Mini Golf Alliance which is organizing the tournament along with the folks at Dreamland. They talk about the challenge of the Challenge course, where the Dream course sits in tournament play, how they think players may change their strategies during the tournament, what other amenities are around when you aren't playing minigolf and all sorts of other points around what to expect when playing in this new tournament.
