“You know, I don’t recall if I’ve played this ‘mini golf’ before,” Celestia commented as Bean placed his ball on the rubber pad to tee off on the first hole. “Come to think of it, I can’t recall if I’ve played the regular version, either. I know I’ve watched several professional tournaments, at least.”
“I tried golfing with some friends once at a community course near my house,” Bean said, his eyes glancing up and down the fairway. “I got to the fifth hole before I had to quit.”
“Why?”
“I lost all of my golf balls.” He tapped the one in front of him with his club, and watched as it bounced around the ninety degree bend before dropping down to all four hooves again. “They all went into the trees, or the water hazards. One or two might have gone into somepony’s backyard.”
“I see,” Celestia said with a giggle.
“They designated me as a permanent caddie after that. It was still fun, though.”
Celestia took a moment to look over the layout of the hole, and her mind quickly went to work. In many respects, it appeared that miniature golf was something like a floor version of billiards, but with a putter. Provided she could motivate her ball to follow the proper angles, it appeared to be rather easy to obtain a hole-in-one.
Her magic made a few minute adjustments to the lay of her ball in the tee box, and she took one practice swing to get a feel for the heft and weight of the club. Then, with a firm and calculated swing, she struck.
Her smile grew as the ball followed the exact angles she had wanted it to, and she cheered with Bean when the ball found its home. “You know what, love? I think I’m going to like this game.”
Tomorrow? That's like, 24 whole hours!!
Hole in one for the gravid solar Princess!
I have to admit to giving Ir pointers with golf. I'm an expert, since I always get high score whenever I play. Thankfully, you can buy a whole bucket of golf balls before you play because I always like to explore the unexplored sections of the course. And look, if he didn't want his windshield knocked out with a golf ball, he really shouldn't have parked so close to my back yard.

*Caddyshack noises intensify*
Aah... Golf. The most sinister game of all time. It looks, looks so boring you'd pass on by. Until you start watching. Then you can't turn away. A little tension builds up in the back of your mind. Is he gonna sink it onto the green? Is that a sandtrap just waiting to devour his strokes?! Oh God not the water! NOT THE WATER! Then some lucky 16 year old sinks a hole-in-one on a par 5 and you're stunned to absolute silence.
Yeah... Golf. Who wants a Guinness?
