So today I get to have a little fun and share the pain that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who has EVER worked in publishing, design or submitted a big report, who swore that they had checked, proofed, read and re-read, and finally so really sure that it was perfect, hit ‘submit’ and then, and only then, does someone point out “The Glitch!”
The mapping software got it wrong! Not just for the Golf site, but when I used Blogger's Location feature, it made the very same error! Hmmm.
It IS in Bradley Beach, however their map pointed a little north, in Asbury Park.
But I will say that the owner was so very gracious when I emailed him of his glitch, and did thank me, however I did warn him that he would make this blog.
Shipwreck Island Mini Golf course is NOT your old-fashioned, static and boring course.
Fountains gush out of shipwrecks, into a river which winds through several pools with more fountains, complete with nets on long poles to pluck your golf balls from these great water hazards.
Two fishing boats, aptly name Sandy and Irene: two killer hurricanes that crashed our shoreline.
A lighthouse, which looks so cool, lit up when the fog rolls in.
The next block over is a great playground: slides, swings and even a pirate’s wheel facing the ocean. Grab an ice cream, stroll the boards, play some golf, breathe the salt air. Spend the day at the beach, after all, how can you not love the ocean, it is so mesmerizing!
Serendipity defined: I took a simple cell phone pix, and with minimal editing posted it on this page, then the owner of Shipwreck Island Mini Golf asked permission to use it on his web site!
ReplyDeleteCool way to start my day!
