How to Play Kitty Golf

Kitty Golf is a game for children of all ages. It is helpful if they can walk.

Each player selects a toy cat or kitten. (Of course other toy animals can be used, but then it wouldn't be "KITTY" Golf, would it?) Proceed to your nearest disc (frisbee) golf course. Make sure no one else is playing on the course, as Kitty Golf involves a lot of running around and would interfere with other players.

Starting at the first tee, each player throws his cat as far as he can towards the "hole", basket, or goal, whatever you want to call it. The object of the game is to get your cat/kitty into the goal in the least number of throws, however, keeping score is sometimes a challenge for the youngest players. After every player has taken two or three turns, the adult can announce that the first player to get his cat/kitty into the goal is the winner of that hole. This MAY speed up the game somewhat. Or not.

Proceed around the course in this manner as for regular disc golf, for as many holes as you can handle. The winner is the player who has "won" the most holes. This game teaches throwing skills, taking turns, and patience (mostly for the adult!). If things get too slow or the adult finds he/she has had it, an ice cream break may be declared. This results in the game being called on account of ice cream.

Hints for better play: It is best if the cat/kitty is washable. The game involves a lot of running around, screaming and yelling, and some argument, but hardly any skinned knees.

I keep thinking

But I don't always take the time to write it down. And then I don't always think I should just put it out there for anyone to read, not that anyone is.

I finished the citrus socks, a trial fingerless mitt and started the second (real) one, and am working on the challenge quilt which was not done yesterday and therefore will not be in the quilt show. I don't mind, it is turning out the way I want it too, so will have it together someday.

This Month (October 2008) is turning out to be verrrrry busy, with lots of scheduled events. Which means fun, but less time to work on projects.

My priorty for housework this week is decluttering. I have so much junk, I am to the point where it is tipping over and hitting me on the head (figuratively of course, I'm not really in danger, just overwhelmed). For instance, I brought my walking stuff (waist pack, pouch, hat, bandana, visor, etc.) home from the motor home, and haven't found a home for them, so they are cluttering up the kitchen table.

The waist pack contains my "port-a-john" (I forget what they call it and don't want to interrupt this train of thought to go check) which I intend to practice with here in the privacy of my own home, and when I tried to use it, it was a disaster. So I should take that out, put it in the bathroom, and store the rest of the stuff where it will be out of the way, but easily accessible for next Saturday. Perhaps the front closet. What a novel thought, out of the way, door closable, but easily accessible. Deep sigh.
