Your family loves playing mini golf. Or more aptly, you all love the idea of it. What you don't enjoy, are the long lines, screaming kids (other people's kids), and inflated expense of each visit. As a result, you've considered setting up a backyard mini golf course but have come to realize that this isn't a practical solution. Is there a mini golf alternative that you haven't considered? There is - Popongo! Here's a look at why family households throughout America are putting aside putting for a more practical and enjoyable substitute.
Why Popongo is a GREAT Alternative to Setting Up a Mini Golf Course in Your Backyard
SIMILARITIES YOUR FAMILY WILL APPRECIATE
Before we get to the advantages that Popongo has over backyard mini golf, we first want to look at a few similarities. After all, your family does enjoy many aspects of the traditional game. These similarities include the following:
- Colorful game balls.
- Ideally played on the lawn.
- Keeping score employs basic math skills of addiction and subtraction (something parents appreciate for younger players).
- Keeps players physically active, but without overexertion.
- It's fun!
ADVANTAGES OVER BACKYARD MINI GOLF
We're not here to take down "BIG" mini golf, folks. However, there are undeniable advantages to America's favorite new outdoor game that cannot be ignored. We provide a brief summary of these below.
i) Less Backyard Space Required
A backyard mini golf course isn't viable for most owners of detached family homes or townhouses. It requires anywhere from 1,200 to 7,000 square feet depending on the design and number of holes. Popongo, on the other hand, only requires about 10-feet of distance (can be changed by preference) between where a player throws and where the game board is placed.
ii) Easier to Set Up
A modular mini-golf course for the backyard can take from a few hours to a full day to set up. Popongo can be set up within minutes of the set's arrival at your address.
iii) Cheaper to Set Up
Quality modular mini-golf courses cost between $2000-5000, or significantly more if you want a permanent backyard installation as landscaping work is required. Popongo, is just under $125 (one set) or $231 (two sets). The buy-in is so comparably low that those with larger yards can set-up an entire Popongo course with multiple sets! View our shop here.
iv) You Can Take it With You to Play Anywhere
You can't take a backyard mini golf course (even if modular) to the local park, beach, or a friend's BBQ, and you certainly can't pack it with you to enjoy on a family vacation. This is no problem with Popongo, which is entirely portable thanks to this convenient carrying-case.
v) Less Frustrating (and time consuming) to Play!
You probably allow young or simply aim-challenged family members/guests to take a few too many mulligans in order to progress the game before dusk. Such is the nature of backyard mini golf. And while becoming good at Popongo also requires experience and skill (here's how to play) there is most certainly a large element of luck involved that far exceeds mini golf's unlikely hole-in-one. In Popongo, a toddler can step up and nail an EQUALIZER to send all other participants back to the patio!
