The Miniature Book of Miniature Golf Board book Description
From the Author
One common worry with this book is losing the balls, which are pretty tiny. Fear not! They're metal, and very shiny, and show up well against carpet and wood (this has extensively been tested by two preschoolers). If the worst should happen, they're ordinary 3/16" ball bearings, which you can get online or at any bike shop for very cheap.

It's pretty hard to catagorize this book.Yeah,you could call it a book,or you could call it a game;but whether you like golf or playing with games,this book will give you lots of fun.
Mike Vago has taken the Minature Golf Game out of the amusement park and placed it on the table right in front of you.
Its not very big,only 6 X 6 inches and 1 1/2 inches thick.It opens up to give you 9 separate holes of golf.Each hole is accompanied with a bit of story,rules and suggestions on how to tackle the challenges of that particular hole.As the name implies ,the holes are more like one finds at the Minature Golf Range than on Championship Courses.Each hole has been given its "Par" to challenge you.Par for the 9-hole course is 29.You can compete with yourself or against an opponent.It can be quite addictive, as you are challenged with all the things such as sand traps,water holes,bridges,doglegs,mazes and just about every hazard you find on a course,and including penalties.
It is well constructed and will give many hours of entertainment and challenge as long as treated properly.It opens very well,whether you are on the beginning or last holes.This is because of the simple ,though ingenious construction of the hinge.The game should definitely be played on a hard,flat surface such as a desk or table.It is also ingenious in that you drop the ball in the hole in the cover,turn the "Page" and then it is ready for you to start the first hole.Likewise,on "sinking" the ball,it goes through and awaits you on the second hole,and so on to the end of the course.
The only shortcoming is the container for the club and balls.I actually made a new cover out of a piece of heavy clear plastic and use a bit of tape to secure it.
