mini golf at work - part 4

Ok, so I've been posting about this for awhile. This is the last one. The final hole that I was a part of for our work mini golf tournament was Olympic themed!

Here is the hole:

 This is the very end of the hole, with the Olympic rings and the Olympic torch!

 This is the Olympic torch up close. This was my contribution to the hole.  It's made out of cardboard, spray painted. The flames are tissue paper. There is a fan in the middle of the torch, so the tissue paper fluttered slightly! (I know you can't see that in the picture, but it's happening!)

I ended up spending $8 for the torch. I bought a $4 can of spray paint, and a $4 pack of tissue paper. I'm not sure it's fair to count all $4 of the tissue paper though, as I only used 3 pieces, and there were 40 pieces in the pack.

The event itself was really really fun, and I think I will get involved again if we do it next year...but maybe not so many holes!

Did I mention we also made cookies to go with our mini golf hole? They are decorated like pirates!!

I mentioned in the last post that we did a mini golf tournament at work, and that I was involved with multiple holes.

A friend at work and I decided to build our own mini golf hole, which was pretty ambitious given that most of the other teams had more than 6 people on them. We built this thing all by ourselves!

Can you guess the theme?!?!

 This is the front!

And this is the back!

Pirate!! We also wore paper pirate hats and eye patches. It was pretty awesome!

Overall, to construct this thing, I spent about $20, on spray paint, other paint, and for felt for the sails.

I should mention - I have a great job. For the most part, it's just a job, but every once in awhile we get to do really fun stuff.

One of the most recent fun things is a mini golf tournament! Here's how it worked. Anyone could form a team and build a mini golf hole. We got to set them up in the hallways and play!

I ended up on a few teams, because I can get really into this kind of thing.

Let's start with the team I didn't do much for - the fun committee hole. (I am on the fun committee...that's right, we have a fun committee in the building...which is how I ended up on that team.)

I didn't really contribute. One of the guys on the fun committee also gets pretty into this kind of thing and built most of it himself. But, here it is!

It's a Mayan themed hole. The sign on the back wall says something about the end of world, playing off the Mayan calendar ending in 2012.
