Jerome Blockman and the Broom and Shoe Miniature Golf Club

Thanks to the collective creativity of the Santa Monica Boys and Girls Club, we may have arrived at the ultimate expression of the junkyard golf club. Behold, Jerome Blockman and the Broom and Shoe Golf Club. Contemplate the club-like properties of the used athletic shoe combined with the power and polish of the well-used broom. Imagine the control you can get when you connect toe first, or the power of the side-of-the-shoe club impact. Could it get, you may be called upon to wonder, any better than this?

This photo came from the world's first Junkmaster Training for a Boys and Girls Club, anywhere. Jerome was one of about 30 staff members who spent the morning playing and inventing Junkyard Golf, and the afternoon, Junkyard Basketball. Many junkly apotheoses were achieved, one of which included office chairs and ping pong paddles. For me, it was one more of those always welcome doubt-removing experiences. For the participants, a day of fun, creativity and inspiration. And the thing about it is that it won't stop there. They'll be doing this with their kids. And, hopefully, those kids will be doing it with other kids in their playground and neighborhood and back yards. And maybe their world will get a little more fun, after all.
