Nathaniel Marx

Born: 1978

Occupation: Professor of theology

Mini golf experience: Nathaniel cut his teeth on the arid fairways of Arizona's retirement communities, where every other hole has a loop-the-loop obstacle. Foolishly seduced by the lure of easy grandmother brownie points if he learned to square dance, he squandered his potential on this empty pursuit instead.

Interesting facts: Nathaniel's folk-rock band, the Ugly Bridesmaids (uglybridesmaids.com) is reeling from the loss of key personnel, namely, Nathaniel and wife Kristen. Nathaniel rejects all comparisons of Kris to Yoko Ono. Nathaniel rejects all comparisons of his band to Spinal Tap. Nathaniel rejects all comparisons generally as false analogies that shed little illumination on the big questions: why we are here, what our purpose is in life, and how mini golf could possibly play any role in the fulfillment of that purpose. I mean, come on, what does the popularity of hitting a little ball into a hole with a stick for amusement tell us about humanity's place in the universe?

Interesting lies: Nathaniel is considering having 80s glam-rock sensation Slade open for his new band's debut concert. He once had the privilege of serving chicken speedies to Pat Bradley, Sherri Turner, and Rosie Jones at the LPGA Corning Classic. He regularly consults tournament founder and organizer Mick Cullen for advice on fashion and hair products.
