The Somerset County Park Commission has scheduled the “May Day Masters Miniature Golf Tournament” at the Colonial Park Putting Course, 156 Mettlers Rd.
The event, open to seniors age 55 years and older, will take place from 10 a.m. to noon, May 1. (Rain date is May 2.)
The 18-hole miniature golf course will have unique challenges added at various locations to increase the entertaining contest. The friendly competition will include 18 teams consisting of 4 players each.
The $10 registration fee will include a putter, golf ball, scorecards, pencils, beverages, and a boxed lunch. Door prizes and awards for special tournament achievements will be part of the festivities.
The Colonial Park Putting Course offers the player gardens and natural landscaping rather than the amusements found at traditional miniature golf courses. Designed over a 1.5-acre site, the course is influenced by the contours and natural characteristics of the site. The holes include fairways ranging in length from 25 to 75 feet with rough, sand, and water hazards. To meet the spirit of the American with Disabilities Act, the course is fully accessible to players with physical disabilities.
