What do you call it?

Postby Andrew » Mon May 24, 2010 9:36 am

My girlfriend and I have this argument going on over what the putting game is called. I call it mini golf but she calls it Putt putt. So what do you call it, if you do not call it that, please say what you do call it

It might be nitpicking but around here it is called miniature Golf; I never even heard of Putt-Putt though i have heard it called Mini-Putt. I have often heard it called mini-golf but the SIGNS I see usually say Miniature. Of course, it may be called different things in different parts of the country, and Putt-putt may be a company name.
I'd say mini golf is the usual term compared to Putt-putt. There are other names too, which is why I hit the other names button.
In any case perhaps this wiki link will settle the issue for you:

lol Bondgal08 - Too fast, too furious!

Even though I call it mini golf, crazy would really be more fitting. Mini-golf kinda says "like golf, only smaller", but I've never seen pro golfing into windmills. Should really happen though!

german-english 1:1 translation would be "mini golf" :-)
(in fact, it's called "Minigolf"...I just wanted to sound more intellectual and knowledge rich).

Most people I know in Northern California call it "miniature golf", though since there are so many transplants here, you occasionally hear "mini golf" and very rarely "putt putt". One note though, the way we usually pronounce it is "min-uh-chur golf", and the "min-uh-chur" part is run together quickly, giving it only one beat, so to speak.

However, having said that to answer your poll, the way it works in practice is that people around here call it whatever the name of the place is. So people say, we're going to "Golfland". Or "Scandia", or whatever.
