Well, we did not win “Best of Show” at last night’s awards ceremony. I’m a little disappointed that we didn’t win the big prize (especially since the organizers told me it was extremely close), but I am very happy with how things turned out, the fun I had building it with the team, and especially how much people seemed to enjoy playing it.
We did win an award that I think is easily second best, namely “Hole I’d Most Like to Take Home.” Everyone loved playing Labyrinth, the lines were huge, the smiles great, laughter loud.
If you would like to take home Labyrinth, I am entertaining offers! Send them to dave at daveselden dot com with the subject line “I want Labyrinth!”
Who won best in show? The Wieden and Kennedy hole featuring the broken whale. While it only worked 15% of the time, I do think it was a great, ambitious idea and very nice to look at. People loved it.
Second Story won “Best Technical Achievement” for their “Putt-Vision” that integrated video games and mini golf with a joystick/ball that controlled an on-screen ball. After ours, their entry was my favorite.
I will post some video shortly showing the Labyrinth in action.

If you guys didn’t win, it was obviously rigged. Sorry to hear about the loss, but you’re still winners in our hearts.
