Golf At The Galleries Is The Coolest St. Louis Summer Activity
Instagram

The second floor of the Sheldon Concert Hall and Art Galleries in St. Louis has a very interesting exhibit running right now. The exhibit is called Golf at the Galleries and showcases artist designed mini golf. The pieces are even playable and were created by artists, architects and other creators.

It runs until August 12. It is $10 for adults, $6 for kids 12 and under, and if you're a US Bank cardholder you get $2 off each admission! It might be a drive, but it's seriously worth it.

This event is family friendly and accessible. I went with my boyfriend and we had a wonderful time, it is truly fun for all ages. It's also air conditioned, which makes it perfect for these hot summer days!

There were 9 holes total, each was set in its own room. The experience was immersive, each hole took up its entire room and there was supplemental art on the walls and around the installations to add to the experience

My boyfriend's favorite was "Distortion" by Arcturis, a half pipe with a mirrored ceiling. It was by far the most difficult of all the holes - neither my boyfriend nor I actually completed it.

I preferred Justin King's "Serengeti Park", which was made entirely out of cardboard. It has animals like an towering elephant, a fox having a picnic, and a chimpanzee sitting on a bench you could take selfies with. While it was not particularly challenging as a mini golf hole, it was pretty straight forward. The cardboard animal statues were cute and made for a great photo opportunity.

Another hole I liked was called "The Gateway Green – A Hole-in-One for STL" By Switch. It was a model of the new Gateway Arch grounds as well as the old courthouse and Kiener Plaza.

I really enjoyed the creativity put into the works, they were all different and had their own unique challenges. It was definitely a great experience and not quite your everyday activity. It had a fun spin on your average mini golf outing. I highly recommend checking it out, you'll thank me later.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
