Have you ever seen Remco's backyard putt putt set from the 1950's, back when family's spent more time together....... (I know I wasn't even born yet). I saw this in an article in Country Living Magazine, Vintage Lawn Games, it sent me searching for ideas to make mini putt putt golf for the grandkids. 
I know, what a deal! I gave them to the grandkids to play with. Now that I'm here living with them, I was back to thinking of ideas for the putt putt golf.For a game at my grandson Elias's 7th birthday we played "Backyard Halloween Golf".
I downloaded large Halloween coloring pages and printed them. Placed the picture on cardboard, cut out the outlines of the pictures; some of them we had to tape first to make them sturdier and painted them. (Suzy and I painted them)
We bought lawn stakes at the local hardware store, to keep them in place in the yard. There are 7 holes. We strategically placed them around the yard, Let's Play!
We kept score by how many strokes it took to get the ball to each hole, and if it went through the hole you got the bonus 1 point subtracted at the end of the game.
You'll never guess who won? Miss Harmony, the poser. I was shocked, too. I thought for sure I was gonna win.Project Cost: $4.00 for golf clubs, $2.50 for the lawn stakes, family fun, Priceless.
To find these Halloween pictures online, in any search engine, type in Free Halloween coloring pages.
Happy Halloween!
