The Exquisite Pearl at Tasmeem Doha

In 2015, we were invited to the Tasmeem Festival as speakers and workshop leaders. For four days we directed a workshop titled Hole-in-One: Exquisite Corpse Mini Golf.  We arrived in Doha with a design, a blank canvas really, that our workshop participants could help build, edit and alter as they saw fit. Our design, titled “The Exquisite Pearl” was inspired by the Pearl Monument on Doha’s Corniche with classic jump. The design of this hole challenged players to land the ball in the small cup (centered in the open clamshell) and thus encouraged players to try again and again. This was very difficult to accomplish, but totally achievable, making it super fun and rewarding.
