The author shares a recent experience at the Toronto airport, feeling alone amidst a decline in travel to the U.S. This prompted mixed feelings of embarrassment as an American. Shortly after, a press release about an Americana-themed mini-golf popup sparked curiosity, leading the author to participate in 'Putt Across America', which celebrates 250 years of the U.S. with 18 themed holes. The course features iconic American symbols and landmarks, but its geographical absurdity humorously reflects the author’s broader sentiments about the current state of America.
The popup, 'Putt Across America', featured holes representing various U.S. landmarks, humorously combining nostalgia with ironic commentary on contemporary American culture.
Tapping a ball into America-themed holes while overlooking the Washington Channel provided a momentary distraction, yet the absurd geography of the gameplay added depth to the experience.
