I believe they call it mini-golf in the British Isles.

No idea what it's called in Canadian English.

Yes, I believe it is also called mini-golf here in Canada. Stees, would know more about it than I would as he is a long time golfer.

I gather that Stees is more of a real golfer who prefers the wide-open fairways and putting greens sans whimsical decorations.

I don't remember having to wear protective gear when I played miniature golf . . .

Play with kids…protective gear will, as you’ll find out, be an absolute necessity, unless you decided that no more kids were in your future.😲🤭😉

I'm a single gay man of 62 with no kids (that I know of -- j/k), who might croak sometime in the next few years or decades, or who might live for centuries or millennia (considering possible med-tech advances).

But so far I never thought of myself having kids. I understand that many people have kids because that's what mammals of Earth do, often encouraged by whatever cultural template they must endure because of poor timing re: their own incarnation.

And looking ahead a few aeons into my own probability clouds, it just doesn't seem like a good idea in my case.

Well of course, but we can't exactly offer him all that here at the pub. We have miniature golf, bocci, lawn darts, horseshoes.

One of the best dates I ever had was a great meal followed by an arcade with pinball and video games followed by a couple rounds of go-cart racing, topped off with 18 holes of mini-golf. We had so much fun and I ended up dating him for over a year. Good times.

Air hockey was one of my favs.

I've finally decided to do the tubal ligation thing later this year. I'm not bringing a kid into this country so full of hate. Granted, it's probably too late to do it if I did want a kid, but adoption is always a choice to bring love to a child who was not wanted. I don't think I've ever been the mothering type. Way too busy.

A good decision unless you really want and feel ready for a family. As you say, adoption is a possibility. The ideal situation of course is two parents sharing the joy and responsibility.
