You might want to chalk this up to “how many people really monitor perfect putt-putt games,” but the folks over at the sports blog Grantland have released a well produced video retelling the story of a perfect game of mini-golf, a feat only 3 people have ever achieved according to the Professional Putters Association.

You might want to chalk this up to “how many people really monitor perfect putt-putt games,” but the folks over at the sports blog Grantland have released a well produced video retelling the story of a perfect game of mini-golf, a feat only 3 people have ever achieved according to the Professional Putters Association.

Meet Rick Baird, an IT manager based here in Richmond. On a cold October day back in 2011, Baird and some friends went to the Putt-Putt Golf and Games facility off Midlothian Turnpike. There, as per usual, Baird and some friends began a game of putt-putt. After so many hole-in-ones, a crowd gathered, and, well, watch the video to watch the drama unfold.
