The Original Adventure Golf

Today, John, Anisha and I went to Treasure Island mini golf at Auckland Airport. Anisha and I had done the ship course previously so we decided to do the other course which was the cave course. It was a hot day and I made sure I put plenty of sunscreen on. We used a voucher from the Entertainment Guide which gave us a free game (One free game when another is purchased).

The final result of the game was a win by Anisha, followed very closely by myself and then by John.

Later that night we had a family BBQ with Nick, Charlene and Carlos coming over.

Earlier in the day I had gone to Botany Downs where I bought two pairs of new shoes from Hannah's. I had previously gone to Mr Minit to see how much it would cost to have the soles of my existing shoes repaired. They advised that this would cost me at least $NZ60, so it was much better sense to buy some new shoes. I bought two pairs of $NZ80 Logan business shoes. However, the second pair was charged at half-price as per a special was on at the time.

Xtreme Entertainment at Botany

As planned earlier in the week, I organised an evening bowling at the Xtreme Entertainment Centre in Botany Downs. I originally booked a lane for 7 people, however the final party size was 6 people. Scott and Amber were not able to make it that night. We bought dad along to make up the numbers. We prepaid for two games which was a total of $NZ16 each.

The final complement was Anisha, Dad, Nick, Charlene, John Innes, and myself. I performed well in the first game, having the highest score and winning the first. My second game was a complete disaster and I will not be detailing the results here!

Useless Information: A regulation bowling alley is made of polished wood and measures 41 to 42 in. (104.1 to 106.7 cm) wide and 60 ft (18.3 m) from the foul line, where the ball is delivered, to the center of the head pin (nearly 63 ft/19.2 m to the end of the alley).
