World Mini Golf Day
World Mini Golf Day is celebrated on September 21 every year. Mini golf is similar to golf; however, it focuses on the putting part of golf. In mini-golf, the aim is to score the lowest points. Mini golf usually has nine holes, and the putting distance is shorter than golf. This version of golf is a fan favorite and makes for a great social activity. So get your golf clubs ready for this fantastic celebration!
