Miniature golf has gone completely bonkers.
Now, ye scribe has played miniature golf at a couple of local venues. I haven't played in some 30-odd years, but I do know how the game works.
So does NBA star Stephen Curry, who took a chance on an idea suggested to him, and pitched it to ABC a year ago. You take the basic concept of miniature golf, mix in extreme elements, which would recall the late, lamented Wipeout (they even recycled some of the sets), for example, and you have Holey Moley, which is in its second season.
Holey Moley is an avenue for Fox NFL Sunday celebrity handicapper/court jester Rob Riggle to do some silly puns alongside Joe Tessitore, who was removed from Monday Night Football before the current season of Holey Moley began airing last month. Tessitore was also at the mic for ABC's ill-fated revival of Battle of The Network Stars three years ago. I guess he likes the fit of those old school yellow blazers. 518 represent!
With baseball season on hold, ye scribe decided to take a look, finally, at Holey Moley. Riggle's relentless mugging and bad puns aside, the game does get weird. Dr. Frankenputt? Seriously?
Let's go back to last year:
This season's field has been cut from 12 to 8 players per show, to speed things along. Curry also appears both in live-action and animated form.
Rating: B.
