It’s that time of year when we host our annual mini-golf hole building event, Putt Putnam County. It’s hard to believe that we started this event back in 2016. Last year we had a total of 16 community built mini-golf holes lined down Franklin Street for anyone to play on a Friday night.

I had too many favorites to just pick one or two. Greencastle High School’s Ghost Pirate Ship was certainly one of the most elaborate builds last year, you could even ‘putt’ the plank. And luckily there wasn’t enough power to vaporize the golf ball on Laser Alert! And some difficult ones too, I only saw one person get the ball up that guitar neck and into the soundhole. It hard to resist hitting the golf ball through downtown Greencastle on the Virtual hole, except of course for a few closed roads. A few favorites from previous years were there too.

It’s not to late to plan and build a hole for the 2025 event on Friday October 3rd. It doesn’t take long to build one, full details are on the Putt Putnam County webpage, and we’ve had some previous tips about making one. And if you can’t?

Please just show up and play a round on Friday night from 6-8 pm, it’s great family fun for all!
