Yes, Spring has Sprung. And we all know what that means!

SAM: Gardening!
FRODO: Singing Birds!
LEGOLAS: Hitting Gimli!
GIMLI: Hitting Legolas!
ARAGORN: Mud!

Um, no. Spring means GOLF!
ALL: GOLF?
Yes, GOLF! And since Mr. Tolkien so kindly informs us in THE HOBBIT about the Middle Earthian roots of the ancient game of Golf, it makes perfect sense to create a golf game for our hobbity friends.

MERRY: It does?

Yes. Now shut up.

Anyway, on the Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers video game, (Yes, I'm a video-game playing girl who is playing TTT and ROTK on Playstation during Finals Week. So sue me.) when Frodo departs from the Fellowship in Amon Hen, Aragorn sounds like he says "I would have gone with you into the very fires of Mordor. GOLFING!" (I know, he really says "...fires of Mordor. Run Frodo!", but that's what it sounds like. Listen to it, if you have the means, you'll see that it's true!) That got me to thinking: What would a middle earthian mini-golf game be like?

You could have up to nine people in a game of ME MiniGolf, one for each Fellowshipper.

Hole 18 would be Mount Doom, of course. You'd have to get your ball into the hole in the top, dodging Gollum's jaws and Sauron's eye.

One hole would have to include getting your ball over a miniature Bridge of Kazad-Dum. The colorful golf balls have to get under the flaming Balrog without spending half of an hour wondering whether it has wings. (The gray ball has to fall off the bridge and it can skip ahead to the Fangorn hole. It'll come back as a white ball!)

What other holes would there be in a Middle Earth mini golf? How do you think the Fellowshippers would play the game? (I think Galadriel would cheat and use her mind to move the ball into the hole!)

Okay, it's stupid. SO sue me. But it's finals week here at school and my brain is nearly dead.

Come join in the BrainDead fun!!!
