Happy Hump Wednesday Speakies:
Hey! We are all taking off today and play golf, not the one you ride around in a little cart and hit a little white ball and then go chase it. I’m talking miniature golf the fun game a whole family can enjoy. The first minigolf course in the world is the Ladies’ Putting Club of St. Andres in Scotland, which was founded in 1867 and still is operating and open to the public. The 18 hole course is made up of putting greens and called “The Himalayas”, and was founded by the members of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club in St. Andrews. Women had become interested in golfing but the conservative social norms of the era deemed it unacceptable for women to publicly perform the movements that a golf swing requires (conservative norms must go opinion of Joey Z). So this 18 hole course of short greens was the first miniature golf course in the world. If you visit Central Florida here are some recommended places to play golf. There are the Congo River Courses, Pirates Cove Courses and Disney World has Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland Courses. Before it gets too cold up North grab the family and play a few rounds but watch out for that windmill it will stop your ball every time.
Today we also honor the Croissant that flaky bread named for its crescent moon shape. They are made of a leavened variant of puff pastry. The yeast dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a sheet, a technique called laminating. They have long been a staple in French bakeries. I like a nice fresh croissant with butter for breakfast or for lunch a melted ham and cheese on a croissant. All around they are great to eat so if you can have one today.
Hope you all have a great day and evening and my words will come to you again.
