M.C. Mini Masters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The M.C. Mini Masters is an amateur miniature golf tournament affiliated with the United States ProMiniGolf Association (USPMGA). Founded in 1997, the tournament has been held annually since. It has a format unique to miniature golf tournaments, whether professional or amateur, in that each round of the tournament is played on a different course. Despite this, the entire six-round event is completed in approximately thirteen hours from tee-off to completion, using six different courses in southeast Wisconsin and northeast Illinois.
In 2005, the tournament hosted a professional division for the first time, but due to some turnover in the offices of the USPMGA, the Pro Division did not continue in 2006. The M.C. Mini Masters has made a commitment to remain strictly amateur in the future.
Cullen announced in March 2007 that Libertyville, the closing course of the Mini Masters for four of the last five years, would have to be replaced because the course had been sold to a developer who planned to level it and use it for another purpose. Potential replacements include Cozzi's in Lake Zurich, Illinois and Congo River in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
