1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Mini Mid Canterbury, which is our new eighteen hole mini

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: golf course found on the other side of the car park,

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: the northern side, by where the new sand quarters distinctly

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: us with each whole themed to a different local icon

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: or landmark. I was actually there the day earlier, but

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: more so documenting the formalities as Mayor Liz McMillan possibly

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: her first trim with the mayoral scissors cut the ribbon

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: to open the thing up, and there I also bumped

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: into somebody who had a hand in bringing the vision

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: to life. Matt Williams is the ops manager for a

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: company called Creo. They're based in Amoru, but Australasian wide.

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: Funny enough, there are an agri construction they're in the

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: agriconstruction game, so they're known for rubber matting that go

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 1: into cow sheds, but there is a playground division and

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: a team of about thirty we're working on this project,

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: including designers and builders to bring it to life. And

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: I started by noting Matt, it feels that this came

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: together in record time, matter of months, so how did

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: you do it? And it turns out there was a

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: bit of building expertise that helped to speed up the process.

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: The concept of using tilk slabs meant we didn't have

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: to do the concrete pouring on sites, so that we

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: took the weather out of the issued. So we made

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: them all in the house inside a big building rather

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: than forming them on site, so that just sped up

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: the process. Each slabs basically sixteen square meters of one

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five mill concrete about five tons each,

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: so they're pretty substantial.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: And I going anywhere.

30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 3: They're not going anywhere, no, yes, So I did a

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: bit of research.

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: I went to there and the photos and all the

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: pubs and we made sure we had the full layout.

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: Is it even Richie owhen I see standing outside the

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: Blue pub giving us away?

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think it is is. Yeah.

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: So they got both pubs there, we got the town

38
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: hall and the swimming pools of course, and plenty of

39
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: trees for it, so it's quite a tight little hole.

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: That one probably my favorite feature as a whole. Number three,

41
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: the pivot error game. I mean that's so quintessentially mid Canterbury.

42
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: It's so cute. So they could stand up to my

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: three and a half year old standing on it.

44
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: That's exactly what's going to happen. Yeah, and then we

45
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: had that in mine. Whenever we were putting things. Yeah,

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 2: whenever we're putting things together, we go, how are we

47
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: going to stop people breaking this?

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: And how do we make it stronger?

49
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: And look, no one's no one's going to know who's

50
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: going to be in there late at night or anything

51
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: like that or accidentally stand on things. So it's built

52
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: to be robust, along with as much detail as we

53
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: can put into it.

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: So give us some insider trading, Which hole do you

55
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: pack us being the easiest on the course.

56
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: I'd probably say there again, a hole is reasonably easy.

57
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: It's quite an open hole.

58
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, most holes, well, they all have sort of like

59
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: get the angle right and you can get a whole one.

60
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: What about the most difficult hole on the course.

61
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: The first hole is the most difficult.

62
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: That's the one that you've got to you've got to

63
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: get up the ramp and in one of the shoots.

64
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the idea is you just got to get the

65
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: ball in the.

66
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: Right hit up the right power and it'll go. And

67
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: so yeah, it's it's an interesting hole.

68
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: That one.

69
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: A lot of frustration up early.

70
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sorts the men from the boys.

71
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: So There is that rule though, that there's a maximum

72
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: of six shots on any given hole in mini golf. Right,

73
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: somebody just got it. Somebody just got it as a

74
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: hole in one possible on every hole.

75
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: That wasn't the part of the brief, but we sort

76
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: of pretty much it is.

77
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: It is doable.

78
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: There's doable.

79
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Skeptical on a few of these.

80
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: There's a lot of luck. We've got to be a

81
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 3: lot of luck on the whole one, but there's a

82
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: lot of luck on some of them, and some of them.

83
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you've got to get the angles right, and

84
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: some of the angles are pretty tight, yep, you can definitely.

85
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Get a whole one challenge. Excepted it is open now.

86
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: It is free if you take your own cat. Otherwise

87
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: just five dollars for that ball and club. Higher from

88
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: the e A Network's reception
