Jona und der Ball

Weil die Wirklichkeit immer grellbunter ist als wir sie uns ausmalen:

Der Golgotha Fun Park - Minigolf mal ganz anders, verkehrsgünstig am Highway 70 bei Cave City, Kentucky.

Aus der Beschreibung von Roadside America:

"Three white crosses loom near the parking lot and mark the final hole; to get there, determined players putt their way through the hazards and miracles of the Good Book. After renting a club and ball in the gift shop, eager Golgotha fans line up at hole #1, The Book of Genesis. The first nine holes are inspired by the Old Testament: Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Moses parting the Red Sea, Daniel and the Lion. A sign at each hole helpfully spells out the relevant Biblical passage.
Obstacles are standard mini-golf course tunnels, twists, and chutes. We're amused that the scenes are comprised of repurposed lawn ornaments and cement statuettes -- no priest-folk artist spent his life carving here. Jonah sits in the Whale's mouth, comfortable in shorts; a statue of St. Francis monitors porcelain animal pairs boarding the Ark. Old Testament stories make for better hazards, so the first nine holes are easy to identify without reading the signs.

Wie es scheint, ist die Einrichtung inzwischen leider geschlossen und wird umgebaut. (via Ironic Catholic)
