AN AFTERNOON AT THE MINI GOLF COURSEA putter, a ball, a short course and getting it into the hole in the fewest strokes possible. That’s mini golf. But then you step onto the course, see
spinning windmills,
impossible ramps, sneaky tunnels and edges that feel like they were designed just to mess with you… and you realize there’s way more going on here than it looks.
The basics are the same as traditional golf: complete the course in the fewest strokes. The difference is there are no endless greens or fancy drivers. Everything happens on
compact courses, usually between 9 and 18 holes, where each one is its own little challenge.
You’ve got a putter, a ball, and a clear goal. But every hole throws something at you: a slope, a calculated rebound, a moving obstacle… or straight-up a trap that forces you to
think more than you swing.
And that’s the beauty of it: it’s not about hitting harder, it’s about
reading the surface, understanding how the ball will react, and keeping your cool after the third ridiculous bounce that makes zero sense.
Even though we associate it with summer plans, laughs, and casual dates, mini golf actually has some pretty interesting roots. Back in the early 20th century, golf was a pretty elite sport and not exactly accessible to everyone.
In the 1920s and 30s, especially in the U.S., smaller “urban-friendly” versions of golf started popping up. Cheaper to build, easier to access, and way more social. That’s where what we now call mini golf really started to take off.
During the
Great Depression, these courses became a massive, low-cost form of entertainment. Thousands of improvised tracks popped up in cities like New York. It was affordable, social, and a perfect way to switch off for a while.
Then came the more creative versions — what many call “crazy golf”: courses packed with
ridiculous obstacles, themed decorations, and that almost amusement-park vibe that still defines it today.
Mini golf has something special about it: it looks like a harmless game, but it actually brings out a lot in people.
It’s the classic
first date plan. Chill enough to talk, but with just enough competition to reveal how someone really is: whether they get salty, laugh at themselves, celebrate too early… or completely fall apart after missing an easy shot.
Then there’s that friend who says “I’m not competitive”… and by the third hole is already
calculating angles like they’re playing for the Masters.
And of course, that universal moment: the perfect shot, the ball bouncing exactly as planned… and stopping millimeters short of the hole. That silence. That look. That “you’ve got to be kidding me.”
The cool thing about mini golf is that it sits right between casual fun and actual skill. You can play with zero experience and have a great time, or you can get obsessed with angles, force, rebounds… and turn it into a mini mental battle.
That’s why it works so well: it’s
accessible, fast, visual, and social. No training needed, no athletic shape required… just a bit of brains and a decent sense of humor.
Because at the end of the day, mini golf isn’t really about getting the ball in the hole. It’s about
laughing when everything goes wrong… and enjoying those rare moments when everything goes exactly how you pictured it.

CHOOSE WHO YOU’D LIKE TO BE TODAYWhat a strange time we’re living in. This is another one of those videos where, at the top, you see a guy in his room talking and moving in front of his webcam… and below, the exact same scene, the same guy, the same movements… but with
different bodies, different ages, different versions of himself. Slimmer, stronger, more attractive, older. Like you could choose who you want to be at any moment just by switching on a filter.
And what’s really wild —or fascinating— isn’t what we’re seeing now, but what’s coming next. Because it’s only a matter of time before we can all
stream ourselves in real time, effortlessly becoming whoever we want to be. No waiting. No editing. No limits.
And the first reaction might be to think this will isolate us. That it’ll break relationships. That no one will be authentic anymore.
But if you really think about it… when have we ever been completely authentic?
On a first date, you’re not 100% yourself. You get dressed up, pick your outfit carefully, put on makeup, watch what you say, smile a little more than usual. You try to impress. You try to connect.
You try to be the best version of yourself.
Then, over time, when things settle down and there’s no need to impress as much… the rest shows up. The good, the bad, and the normal.
These filters are just an evolution of that. Taken to the extreme.
Because now it’s not “I’ll clean myself up a bit.” Now it’s:
I choose exactly which version of myself I want to show. And it’s pretty clear the person on the other side is doing the same.
And that’s where things get weird… but interesting.
A space where maybe you couldn’t reach a certain type of partner in the real world… but here, you can. Where looks, age, or even money stop being barriers. Where you can play, experiment, explore.
A place where you don’t just choose how you present yourself… but where
the other person might even choose how they want to see you.
But it’s not just that. There might not even be a real person on the other side — just an AI pretending to be one, or making you believe it is. And then the question becomes: does it really matter?
Because in the end, we’re all looking for the same thing: to feel heard, desired, accepted. To feel a connection.
If an AI —or a person using filters— can give you that… does it really matter what’s on the other side?
Maybe it does for us. The ones who grew up differently. More physical, more direct, more “real.” But the new generations… will they need that? Will they even value it?
Or will it be enough for them to have a connection that works, even if it’s built on layers, filters, and edited versions of reality?
Because if you really think about it… maybe we’re not losing ourselves.
Maybe we’re just starting to choose
which part of ourselves we want to be at any given moment.
