She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

“The oldest miniature golf course in the United States” is a surprisingly contentious title. There are several courses that claim to be the very first of their kind. Whispering Pines Mini Golf is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Opened in 1930, its layout has not changed over the years. It truly set the stage for later mini golf courses to come, and has windmills, pipes, and other obstacles that would become mainstays of the putt putt world.
