That should happen in mini-golf.

Could be worse. Could be a puppy.

If they think that’s challenging, they should check out this hazard.

How challenging can it be?

You just need to have/use a distraction.

Perhaps a ball of yarn? Or something with catnip?

A bigger challenge is when a herd of elk decided to play through.

LOVE IT!!!

Many years ago, I played at Borrego Springs, and there was a roadrunner that’d dart onto the course and steal balls.

Surprised the cat’s there, there’s not sand traps.

Lucky I have my laser pointer in my pocket

This would be a great hole for Holey Moley – Rob Riggle, make this happen!!!

Except for the one with the alligators.

Back in the early 70s, I carried a Westclox Scotty pocket watch (they were so cheap, $1.25, that you didn’t have to worry about repairing them when the stopped working) for which I knotted fob from military bootlaces and wore in my jeans coin, watch pocket. I was at a friend’s apartment watching his half grown kitten romping around. I took out the watch and slid it across the carpet. Kitten attacked the strange creature and, grabbing by the tail (the fob) dragged it halfway back, flipped over and, still holding its tail, “disemboweled” its catch. A good time was had by all.

…and it is probably a birdie putt as well.

Just wait for kitten to get bored like never

Easier to cope with than a PGA official with his panties in a wad over LIV.
