In 2021 when the Miniest Open was a single round, local pro Shawn Brown set the course record of 46 that had not been beaten until the 2024 Miniest Open. Shawn shot a 1st round of 49 and aced Hole #18 to set the new single-round course record at 45 and the best two-round score of 94 which was previously 98. Shawn has the largest margin of victory in the history of the Minest Open by winning by 8 strokes over Matt Liles of Connecticut. 2022 Miniest Open winner Mick Cullen came in 3rd with a 103 with 2023 Winner Matt Roalstad just one more stroke behind with a 104. 10 strokes separate the players who finished between 2nd and 15th in one of the most competitive years for the tournament. American Mini Golf Alliance members showed up from 8 different states (Maine, Connecticut, Georgia, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota) to play in the pro division.

In the amateur division, Nick Windyk wins his first event by 4 strokes over Robin Schwartzman. New Jersey’s Lisa Cimino finished 3rd.

Hunter Ward took home the junior division championship

Tom Loftus, Shawn Brown & Erik Haselius tied for most hole-in-ones with 2 and Tom won the tie-breaker.

This was the largest turnout for the Miniest Open in the history of the event by a considerable number and first year without a qualifying period.

Details

There will be no qualifying period for the 5th year of the Miniest Mini Golf Open. We will have both a pro and amateur division with two rounds being played on Sunday, September 29th. Pros will all start at Hole #1 and amateurs will start at Hole #9.

The course record is 46 and the two round record is 98. The top pro scores will be 46-52.

Pro players will receive entries for a drawing for a 4 person skins game with cash prizes in addition to the two rounds. A bonus kicker added is an increased purse and a new opportunity for the pro champion thanks to a partnership with Pro League Network's recently launched tournament series called Putt Tour. The partnership has led to a purse increase for the top 3 finishers & the Miniest champ will also receive an entry into a future Putt Tour event (date TBD) along with travel accommodations.

Full details including the the entry fee, purse, prizes, practice rates, and more are posted over at acoupleofputts.com/open and players who are planning to play can register here.
