Utilizing the well-organized league and tournament system that was embedded within Walkabout Mini Golf VRs Discord Channel, we were able to give an opportunity for people from around the world to compete in virtual reality in a 24-hour period between January 21st & 22nd (or just the 22nd if you live in the UK or further east). The first week of the league put all 15 courses at the times in play for the two-round set.
Round 1 (A) was held on Arizona Modern Easy and Round 2 (Q) was on Quixote Valley Hard
Out of the nearly 100 competitors that played in a weekly league, 16 AMA members from around the world opted in to use their results to gain points in the 2023 AMA season.
League regular from Mexico, Jorge Rimblas came out ahead in first place with help from an impressive -21 on the Quixote Valley Hard course. League regular and new AMA member, Jimmy Wilson, combined two strong rounds for a 2nd place finish. While Tom wasn’t thrilled about his results on a couple of holes on the Arizona Modern Easy course, he was able to share the round with Darren Hickman who had the best round of the AMA members on that desert-themed course with a -27. This score is only 5 off the world record and secured Darren a tie for 3rd in the event with Matt Roalstad who has turned in numerous wins across competitive IRL mini golf events in Minnesota as well as a 4th place finish in last year’s Miniest Mini Golf Open. |
