Far, far north, almost at the top of the world, is the splendidly frosty and wonderfully wild state of Alaska or as the locals like to call it "AK". It's a land where the sun sometimes forgets to set, where bald eagles soar as if they own the sky, and lumbering moose wander carelessly along the streets. Alaska is a magical place, full of snow-capped mountains, glistening glaciers, and deep, mysterious forests. Now, amidst all this snowy splendor, you’ll find a group of the most extraordinary kids, who are absolutely bonkers about a game. Not just any game! This is the thrilling, exciting, and highly competitive world of… (drum roll, please)… Mini Golf! Yes, you heard me right! These Alaskan kiddos are not your typical mini golfers, oh no! They tee off with icicles, sometimes using a walrus tusk as a club, and often they have to dodge a playful, roly-poly polar bear who thinks the golf balls are his play toys. And forget about windmills or clown faces, in Alaska, the mini golf courses have real obstacles like slumbering grizzly bears or seals that like to clap their flippers. Let me tell you about their leader, a little chap named Frosty Freddie. Freddie, with his magical, glowing golf ball and trusty snowshoe hare caddy, has never lost a game. With a twinkle in his eye and a giggle never far from his lips, he was as cool as a cucumber and as tricky as a fox. And boy, could he swing a mean salmon… I mean, golf club! So, if you're ever in Alaska, you must visit the world's coolest mini golf course. You never know, you might just catch Frosty Freddie aiming for a hole-in-one right through the Northern Lights!
