For most people, mini golf is casual. A little windmill, a little ice cream, maybe some light family trash talk.
But in this episode, you'll meet competitive players who practice for tournaments, a Guinness World Record holder who played 4,941 holes in 24 hours, and a British enthusiast who has visited more than 1,100 mini golf courses.
Along the way: specialized balls, sore backs, and the surprising life lessons hiding behind fake mountains and tiny castles.
