We used to have a wonderful little mini-golf and paintball war
business here in Mazatlán, but they went away in 2002. I'm
keeping this page here for the memories.
Pictured here are
Brenda and Mark Seabolt, owners of the new (1999) Chongo
Loco mini golf course in Mazatlán. They have combined the
Pepsi monkey with Coca-Cola sponsership and a lot of hard
work to bring a wonderful little mini golf course to the
golden zone. They are located right across the street from
the Holiday Inn hotel, and are open every day from 11am.
They have a
coupon available here. This is a
great place for kids, and the cost of a round of golf is only
about $3US per person. The low score in any group of 2 or more is
entitled to play their next round for free. There is also a
little snack shop here in case you get worn out carrying that
putter around. I'm trying to talk them into putting in little
carts so we don't have to walk so far from hole to hole. (Just
kidding.)
Are you ready to rumble? Starting this year (2000) Mark
and Brenda have added a paintball war arena to their family
fun offerings. They have found the perfect venue, a
delapidated old ranch building, that looks like it belongs
in downtown Chechnya. For around 10 dollars per person, you
too can become a weekend warrior. I haven't had so much fun
since I played cowboys and Indians as a kid. They provide
all of the equipment you need, including camouflage
jackets, safety goggles, and of course arms and ammo. They
are holding weekly
open warfare rallys every Saturday at 3:00PM. Just
show up and remember their motto:
Kill em all, let God sort it out. You can
also arrange to have your group use the facility and
equipment by talking to Mark or Brenda.
A couple of words of caution. Those paintballs travel at
a pretty good speed, so it is important to stay about 20
feet away from your enemies. Even at that range, they sting
pretty good when they hit and will probably leave a bruise.
It is best to wear sweat pants. We had some pretty small
children in our group, and it turned out to be a little too
intense for them after a while. I'm not sure if that was a
good thing or a bad thing. They all arrived believing that
war was a game and I think all of them went home with a new
understanding that war is not a good thing. Nevertheless,
we all had a great time, and there wasn't any blood, just
paint.
Quote of the day:
Patriotism is the
veneration of real estate above principles.
