Miniature Golf Course Swan Song
On an exquisitely beautiful afternoon...
...the "Hayes Valley Historic Miniature Golf Course" was open for its last day of free neighborhood fun.
The Wowhaus art collaborative between Scott Constable (above)...
...and his wife Ene Osteraas-Constable (above) turned out to be a wildly popular success story over the summer.
When it opened last May, only a few stragglers were on hand to enjoy its felicities...
...but last Saturday there was a waiting list of at least 50 people wanting to use one of the handmade wooden golf clubs...
...and the artists were beaming with pleasure at how the art project had taken on a life of its own.
My favorite hole was the Zen Center Number 7 which didn't actually have a hole so the golfers had to figure out how to play and score it on their own. For earlier accounts of the course on this blog, click here and here, and many thanks to Scott and Ene for brightening the neighborhood.
