Golf can be one of the most irritating and agitating games ever invented. It requires patient and skill to even be average at the sport. Yet, what if I told you that you could become a pro at mini golf with a little help from math? Okay, it may actually be a lot of math, but still you can impress all your friends with your amazing putting skills by getting a hole-in-one every time.

Students will learn where to bounce the ball off a wall in order for it to go in the hole on the first attempt through the use of reflections. They will begin by reflecting the hole of the first wall to obtain a new point that will create a certain spot on the wall that the ball must hit. The image below is an example of the steps needed to be taken in order to find the reflected point and where to connect that point to in order to find the intersection with the wall.

With this activity students can use their knowledge of geometric reflections to create a desired course for a hole-in-one in mini golf. This will allow for students to connect the real-world to geometry in a fun and interactive project that can help them impress their friends next time they go play mini golf.
