Mini Golf Masters being staged on SC coast

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — Golfers in North Myrtle Beach are playing around a simulated volcano as the U.S. Pro Minigolf Masters tournament gets under way.

The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports that (http://bit.ly/obeKjp ) 80 golfers from around the world are participating in the tournament that continues through Saturday.

It’s being played at Hawaiian Rumble Golf that features a 40-foot tall simulated volcano that erupts every 20 minutes with flames shooting from the top.

Richard Lockner of Sweden is back to defend his title as is last year’s runner-up Olivia Prokopva of the Czech Republic. The winner gets $4,000 and a green jacket.
