#87 - Offseason Chatter - Minigolf games, books and more!

Tom and Pat hosted a live Puttcast session on Facebook and YouTube on January 15, 2025. For this episode they went away from the normal recapping of events and focused on a variety of a miniature golf culture items, specifically focusing on books in their libraries and games they have played. It was a great look at many items that are available to purchase now to keep away those off-season blues as well as several harder to find and out-of-print items that may now be collectors items.
