Rain cancelled golf, so we brought golf home. ๐ โณ Welcome to the Living Room Open 2026! We turned our house into a crazy mini golf course: 6 homemade holes built from toys, LEGO, plushies, pots, pans and whatever else we found. My 8-year-old son takes on every single one of them, putter only. Pots become bumpers, action figures guard the greens, and a Bowser's Castle waits at the end. Who becomes the first-ever Living Room Open champion? Watch till the end. ๐ Built your own mini golf hole at home?
