Goofy Golf Two

WW & Tiny Herman Melville

In yesterday's episode, our two iron spices, Tiny Melville and Wonder Woman faced a heart-breaking truth: Goofy Golf was closed. In the midst of disappointment, the mimosa kicked in. And we noticed that Alvin's Island was open next door. [Liiiight. Bulb.] We figured that somewhere, hidden in the millions of beach trinkets and PANAMA CITY BEACH apparel, we'd find golf clubs.

We improvised. We found shovels and Pro Kadima balls.....and hermit crabs and airbrushed string bikinis, PCB visors, coffee mugs and key chains. Fortunately, we left with only the shovels, balls and a visor. We headed back to Goofy Golf, hit a few practice shots, downloaded a score card (there's an app for that) and then Tiny Melville officially started the game.

The competition was.....well.....non-existent. I was TERRIBLE! I was distracted by the scenery:

Holy Putt-Putt! Hit the Ball through the Church. 

Herman Melville's inspiration for the lesser-known prequel to Moby Dick. [Ahab's Great GrandFather chases a Large Green Dino]

Hold Me Closer, Giant Monkey

As I mentioned yesterday, because the course was closed, none of the mechanical features worked. Guess what? We improvised! We opened and closed the mouth of the gator, we raised and lowered the the ostrich bill, we turned the blades of the windmill. One would operate the giant machines while the other would golf. 

The best news about the 8th hole? We found REAL golf balls. Regrettably, it did not help my golf game. I lost by about six strokes. Fortunately, Dirty Spice is a good sport and conceded to a death match. Another round of 18 to decide the winner of the big steak dinner.

Tune in tomorrow for the conclusion of: Goofy Golf, Lost in Spiceland. Our heroes climb the Moai of Easter Island, sail the high seas AND find THE WHALE!
