Bad Idea FactoryPhilly's Top Five Mini-Golf-Unworthy Moments, Depicted as Mini-Golf Holes
 |
|
1. The Disney Parking Lot Memorial Sand Trap: This giant chasm's an easy hole-in-one, but you never get your ball back.
2. The Joe Vento Citizenship Checkpoint: "Titleist, eh? Sounds French to me."
3. The Wacky South Street Bridge: Just putt over the bridge ... oops, it's falling apart!
4. The Frank Rizzo Statue: Just putt the ball through the smiling Chairman's legs. Oh no! He's batted your ball into the Schuylkill with the nightstick in his cummerbund!
5. M. Night's Zig-Zaggy Denouementster: This one's really long and has more switchbacks than the French Alps. But don't worry — you can see the end coming a mile away.
