We got notice from the Ardabil Mini golf competition of Kerāmat Festival in Iran!

On the occasion of arrival of the 10 days of the Kerāmat Decade and in commemoration of these blessed days, a provincial Minigolf competition was held in Ardabil city of Ardebil Province in observing all Anti-covid hygienic and health protocols.

On Tuesday 21st of april a video from WMF was published by AIMS (The Alliance of Independent Recognised Members of Sport), both on their website and Facebook.

It features creative minigolfers who putt at home during these very special times. It includes minigolfers of different ages and both amateurs and pros.

Link to AIMS news and the video.

The video shows that minigolf is a sport for people of all ages and abilities. The WMF core values are integrity, teamwork, respect, passion and connecting generations. Minigolf is both a leisure activity and a top-level sport. We hope that this video will inspire others to do the same - putt at home.

Use the hashtag #puttathome and be creative. Let’s play!
