Putter Tips: How to Ace Your Mini Golf Game

(Without Taking It Too Seriously)

At Putter Up, we believe mini golf is all about laughs, friendly competition, and maybe the occasional victory dance when you sink that tricky shot. But hey, who doesn’t love bragging rights? That’s why we’re kicking off our Putter Tips series—a fun, pun-filled way to help you step up your game while still keeping it lighthearted.

Tip #1: Master the Gentle Tap

This isn’t the PGA Tour—you don’t need to send your ball flying into the parking lot. Mini golf is a finesse game. Think of it like sending a text, not writing a novel: short, sweet, and to the point.

Pro pun: A soft touch now could save you from a real “rough” situation later.

Tip #2: Read the Course

Every hole at Putter Up is its own adventure with custom lighting, sound, and interactive challenges. Take a second to notice the slopes, obstacles, and angles before you swing. Sometimes the smartest move is a bank shot, not a straight shot.

Pro pun: Don’t let the course “play” you—play the course.

Tip #3: Line It Up Like a Pro

When in doubt, crouch down and line up your shot. It makes you look like you know what you’re doing (bonus points for style), and it really does help. Plus, it’s a great excuse to stall while your friends cheer—or jeer—you on.

Pro pun: The ball may be small, but it deserves your full “fairway” attention.

Tip #4: Keep It Fun

At the end of the day, it’s not about your scorecard—it’s about the memories. Crack jokes, celebrate those lucky bounces, and don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself when your ball ricochets in ways physics can’t explain.

Pro pun: Remember, every miss is just “par for the course.”
