Meet Aaron.
And Professor Putter.
Aaron is the main host behind Presswood’s mini-golf adventures, arriving with the F-150 and the golf trailer. His illustrated alter ego, Professor Putter, brings a putter, playful puzzles and a question around every corner.
Aaron is our main mini-golf host, with Robert as backup when needed. Your event’s host and staffing are confirmed when booking.
Professor Putter’s make-believe origin +
A FICTIONAL TALE ABOUT OUR MINI-GOLF CHARACTER
The almost-impossible shot.
In his imaginary Putt Lab, Professor Putter was testing a very important invention: a shortcut around a very stubborn obstacle.
His first putt was too strong. His second was too soft. His third bounced off the rail and rolled straight into his shoe.
Then he had an idea. What if the bounce was part of the plan?
He changed the angle, tried a gentler tap and watched the ball roll into the cup. A discovery! He packed his putter, his puzzles and his best questions into the golf trailer. There were more experiments to try, and he needed a whole school of curious minds to help.
Now Professor Putter has one question for every new player: “What do you think will happen if we try it this way?”
01 / A ROUND WITH A REASONMore than
More than
getting it in the hole.
A school fundraiser can be an experience first. We’re shaping a day where students try, think, cheer each other on and support a school-chosen goal.
Make a clever discovery.
Try an angle. Predict a bounce. Spot a pattern. Proposed removable puzzle magnets add a small challenge to each obstacle.
Rally around your goal.
Choose a simple contribution or pledge format, print the school’s sheets, and celebrate participation together.
The educational challenges are proposed activity ideas, not a curriculum-certified program. Lighting, equipment, access needs and supervision are planned with each school.
02 / THE COURSE IS THE CLASSROOMCuriosity.
Curiosity.
Built into every turn.
Colour-in magnets, hidden symbols and quick challenges give students another way to take part. Place short prompts on scorecards or in waiting areas so puzzles do not hold up the course. Here are three ideas to try.
Bank on a good idea.
When a ball hits a straight rail, which way do you think it will bounce? Make a prediction, then test it.
Teacher prompt +
Try a gentle shot from two different angles. Compare what happens. A clean bounce can help introduce reflection; real rails and friction affect the result.
Find the missing piece.
Discover the hidden pattern on an obstacle. Pick the magnet that comes next and add it to your scorecard.
Reveal the pattern +
A circle comes next: circle, triangle, circle, triangle, circle. For an extra challenge, create a new pattern for a teammate.
A little less oomph?
Same starting point. Same direction. Try a gentle putt and a stronger putt. Which travels farther?
What to explore +
Compare distances and explain your prediction. Change one thing at a time. A stronger putt may travel farther, but too much power can bounce it away from the cup.
03 / KEEP THE ASK SIMPLESmall contributions.
Small contributions.
A shared purpose.
Your school chooses the goal, approves the message and manages collection through its preferred method. These are flexible examples, not promised fundraising results.

04 / THE HANDY PARTLess blank-page planning.
Less blank-page planning.
More ready-to-go.
Make a school-branded pledge sheet, a nine-hole scorecard and a set of puzzle prompts. Fill in student details by hand after printing.
05 / MAKE ROOM FOR EVERY ROUNDA school day.
A school day.
Thoughtfully paced.
Start with a rough rotation plan, then fine-tune it with us. The planner uses 40 players per hour as an adjustable starting estimate, not guaranteed capacity.

Putt. Puzzle.
Maybe a little party.
A kickoff that clicks.
A proposed pep rally can introduce the goal, demonstrate a putt and explain the pledge sheet. Confirm the format and timing in your quote.
Add music. Add a DJ.
Interested in combining a Professor Jamz dance with golf? Explore a DJ-and-putt day, with coordinated space, sound, staffing and class rotations.
Room for different ways to play.
Offer puzzle and putting roles, support participation without pressure, and plan suitable adjustments together with the school.
A little block of fun.
Or a whole-school adventure.
A 45-minute idea.
Explore a small-group putting session or a mix of putting, puzzles and dance stations. Think of this as a taster or shorter-format block. At an estimated 40 players an hour, allowing 10 minutes for briefing and exit leaves about 23 full rounds before other delays. Several classes need shorter activities, more time or confirmed extra capacity.
Give groups their turn.
Build a run of class rotations around the school’s actual timetable. The quote confirms course time, group count, staffing and whether music or glow is included.
Make a day of it.
Combine play, classroom challenges and an optional dance celebration. Check the whole-school numbers first; one course cannot serve unlimited students.
ANOTHER IDEA TO EXPLORE
Your space. Maybe more than one day.
A library or media room could work if the layout, clear routes and lighting are suitable. Balls, putters and scorecards are available. Interested in keeping the course for two days and having the school run it? Ask about a possible school-run arrangement, including teacher-led class activities or supervised recess and lunch play.
A multi-day option is not yet a standard package. Equipment handover, trained adult supervision, safe overnight storage, building access, damage responsibility, support and pickup would need to be agreed before booking. We do not leave a course without an agreed operating plan.
ONE SCHOOL GOAL. A SHARED CELEBRATION.As the goal grows,
As the goal grows,
the celebration could glow.
Agree on school-wide stretch goals before the campaign: perhaps a glow upgrade, a DJ celebration or extra activity time. Choose only upgrades the school and event team have approved and budgeted.
Every student shares the experience. A child’s own donations never determine access to an upgrade. Set each goal, incremental cost, funding source and fallback plan in writing before promising it.
