Adventure Golf & Sports (AGS) has combined a beer pong game into two mini-golf putting games: one for venues wanting beer pong party events and another for children and families.

It has also introduced AirFlow Palm Tree, which is designed to avoid wind damage to palm tree-themed elements on cruise ships and other venues.

The first installation for Pong mini golf was a custom six-hole beer pong game, not the traditional 10-hole beer pong game, at The River Club in Glen Arbor.

“This pong mini golf game concept exceeded my expectations,” said River Club Glen Arbor owner Mike Sheldon.

Speaking about the AirFlow Palm Tree, Scott Lundmark, president and CEO of AGS, said that the solution lets wind flow through and not against it.

“This design holds up for use wherever high winds may be a consideration and is engineered to reduce product failures requiring tree replacement or expensive maintenance,” added Lundmark.

“The flow-through is stronger and designed to tolerate high-velocity wind conditions. It’s safer and weighs less than other similar products.”

According to the company, the product is a lightweight system fabricated from stainless steel tubes to represent the size and shape of palm fronds.

The 9’8″ high trunk is made from stainless steel with a powder coat finish and has a base that can be attached to a deck or concrete surface.

“Our company discovered that most of the trees are compromised by severe winds. Suppliers who offered new tree designs did so at increased costs, often exceeding clients’ budgets. This prompted our design, engineering and installation teams to create the improved AirFlow Palm Tree,” said Lundmark.

According to AGS, the three priority goals are to reduce wind pressure on the palm fronds, prevent frond welds from failing and reduce costs.
