Tom and Pat hosted a live Puttcast session on Facebook and YouTube on January 15, 2025. For this episode they went away from the normal recapping of events and focused on a variety of a miniature golf culture items, specifically focusing on books in their libraries and games they have played. It was a great look at many items that are available to purchase now to keep away those off-season blues as well as several harder to find and out-of-print items that may now be collectors items.

As we get into the season, if you want to help us recap events, don't forget you can reach out to us (puttwhenready@gmail.com) to provide your own report from the field! You can also contact us if you have other books or games you'd like to share and maybe we'll cover them on a future episode!
