Sir Putt-A-Lot's Merrie Olde Fun Centre is a miniature golf course and recreation complex in Springfield.
As well as the mini-golf course with over a dozen holes, the center also has Ye Go Karts, Her Majesty's Batting Cage, Skee Ball and Merlin's Video Dungeon. Sir Putt-A-Lot's also hosts an annual miniature golf tournament, which Bart and Todd both competed in. In its first incarnation, first, second and third prizes were $50, $10 and $5 respectively, with half price sno-cones for fourth place. Every participant received a balloon, according to a sign.[1]
Homer used to work at Sir Putt-A-Lot's and subsequently got Marge pregnant with their first child Bart inside one of the course's obstacles.[2] Homer and Marge revisited their "old love nest" a decade later to rekindle their sex life.[3]
