Rare accomplishments

108 holes with no fives or sixes
It's almost every MCMM competitor's goal to get through the day without resorting to the maximum possible score of six on any hole. Sixty-one different players have managed the feat a total of 181 times, including four former Most Sixes winners (Mary Snyder, Lisa Curran, Matt Landt, and Conner Altergott). It is much rarer to go the entire day without scoring a six or a five. Thus far, it's happened 48 times, meaning that about 26.5% of those who have gone sixless for the day also managed to go fiveless. However, the ranks do include one of those aforementioned former Most Sixes winners. Check it out:

Tom Schweiss leads the way, accomplishing the feat nine times, including doing so in six consecutive tournaments (2017-23). Stretching out to include some holes from 2016, that means Tom has a current streak of 733 straight Mini Masters holes without a five or a six. The hole that preceded his streak was Wild West's 5th.


Scoring more aces than (fours + fives + sixes)
Tallying more holes-in-one than fours is impressive enough, but more aces than fours, fives, and sixes combined? That almost guarantees landing near the top of the standings. In fact, this list includes 14 of the 26 Ugly Jackets, and no one who finished lower than 11th place. Unsurprisingly, the six players who have won the Mini Masters have all accomplished this feat, often multiple times--but fourteen additional players have also managed this accomplishment at least once. There have been 20 players who have accomplished the feat a total of 55 times. Mick Cullen leads the way with 11 such years, including six consecutive MCMMs (2010-2015).
Here's the list, arranged by the margin between aces and 4-5-6 total, along with their place in the final standings.

If we added in the instances where someones aces precisely equaled their (fours + fives + sixes), Matthew Cullen would have three more instances (2006, 2007, 2010), Mick Cullen five more (2002, 2003, 2006, 2016, 2019), Ralph Freye one (2003), Jason Gola one more (2019), Aaron Hanson one (1997), Jake Heynis one (2016), Zach Reichert one (2016), Chase Murphy one (2022), Tom Schweiss three more (2006, 2015, 2016), Tom Loftus one more (2023), and Rusty Silber two more (2015, 2021).

Putting for the cycle
Putting for the cycle involves scoring every possible relative-to-par result in one round. For most courses, this means scoring an eagle, birdie, par, bogey, double bogey, triple bogey, and quadruple bogey in the same round. For courses with a par-4 hole, putting for the cycle includes a double eagle ("albatross").
This has occurred only 28 times in Mini Masters history, an average of just 1.1 times per year, and only two players have ever done it twice (Chris Carmody, who accomplished the feat in back-to-back rounds, and Taylor Schweiss). Only one time was the feat accomplished on a course with a par-4 hole. Lighthouse and Kristof's each lead among courses five cycles; Kristof's saw three of its five in a single tournament (2001).

This is the list of all 27 occurrences to date.

Scoring 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on the same hole
A course must be used for at least six years and a player must play it at least that many times to have a chance to score all the different possible scores on that same hole. Additionally, it must be a hole with a chance for an ace that somehow can still be diabolical enough to cause a 6 if that tee shot doesn't go right. Through 2023, eighteen different players have accomplished this feat on a total of 40 holes. Chris, Dianne, Lisa, Carrie, Brady, Zach, Tom, and Tommy have each achieved six different scores in six consecutive attempts at the same hole (Lisa has done it three times, Chris twice). The 15th hole at the original Action Territory course has inflicted this particular 'accomplishment' on three different players, two of whom have multiple Ugly Jackets to their credit.

Josh Altergott (6)-- Action Territory's 3rd and 15th holes; Aloha Falls' 4th hole; Lighthouse's 4th, 5th, and 15th holes
Stephanie Altergott (2)-- Action Territory's 10th hole; Congo River Kenosha's 11th hole
Chris Carmody (2)-- Lighthouse's 9th hole (4-1-3-5-2-6 in six consecutive attempts); Par-King Black's 3rd (5-1-4-6-3-2 in six consecutive attempts)

Matthew Cullen (2)-- Lighthouse's 5th and 13th holes
Michael Cullen (1)-- Action Territory's 15th hole
Mick Cullen (1)-- Par-King Red's 13th hole 

Lisa Curran (8)-- Action Territory's 8th, 11th, and 13th holes; Congo River Kenosha's 3rd hole; Kristof's 7th hole (6-5-3-4-1-2 in six consecutive attempts); Lighthouse's 4th and 15th holes; Sisolak's West's 10th hole (2-1-3-6-5-4 and 1-3-6-5-4-2 in six consecutive attempts)

Bogeyless rounds
It is much more difficult than one might imagine to get through an entire M.C. Mini Masters round without being over par on any hole. This impressive feat has only occurred 29 times in tournament history--just over once a year--and only nine different players have accomplished it. This is the list.

Aaron Hanson-- Lighthouse, 1998
Mick Cullen-- Lighthouse, 2000

As you can see, Schweiss holds a few unique distinctions. First of all, he has completed ten bogeyless rounds, 2 1/2 times more than anyone else! He has also accomplished the feat at five different courses, while the other multiple-bogeyless-round players (Matthew, Michael, and Mick Cullen and R.J. Dusak) have done so on no more than three courses. One of the courses on which Schweiss managed the distinction was Libertyville/Aloha Falls, one of the tourney's all-time toughest courses. He was also the first player to accomplish the feat twice in one tournament-- which he has done twice-- and he did it in back-to-back rounds in 2009. Only Dusak has joined Schweiss with two bogeyless rounds in one tourney (2018).


Twoless rounds
It's difficult, no matter what kind of player you are, to go an 18-hole round without scoring a single two. It's happened just four times in MCMM history, in fact. Usually, a player can get a two through sheer luck, at least, but sometimes the miniature golf gods just conspire against your putter.
The following players have achieved the feat. The numbers represent (in order) the number of holes-in-one, twos, threes, fours, fives, and sixes in their unique twoless rounds, followed by the round score. As you'll see, one player managed a hole-in-one but no twos. Amazingly, his single ace was on a par-4 hole.

Michelle Arf, Libertyville, 2003: 0-0-5-6-6-1 (75)
Nat Ahrens, Action Territory, 2004: 1-0-6-5-3-3 (72)
Ben Lee, Action Territory, 2009: 0-0-6-4-5-3 (77)
Carolyn Howard, Sisolak's West, 2009: 0-0-6-5-2-5 (78)
Miranda Johnson, Aloha Falls, 2017: 0-0-10-5-2-1 (66)



Threeless rounds
It should be no surprise that completing a round without a three is also rare, though less so than a twoless round, or that threeless rounds tend to have far better scores than twoless rounds. There have been eight of these rounds in MCMM history:

Jason Gola, Action Territory, 2000: 0-11-0-3-2-2 (56)
Dale Hanson, Lighthouse, 2002: 2-14-0-2-0-0 (38)
Tom Schweiss, Sisolak's East, 2003: 1-17-0-0-0-0 (35)
Stephanie Gekiere, Sisolak's West, 2003: 2-12-0-3-0-1 (44)
Lisa Curran, Lighthouse, 2003: 2-12-0-3-0-1 (44)
Dianne Cullen, Par-King Red, 2009: 0-16-0-2-0-0 (40)
Mick Cullen, Sisolak's West, 2012: 2-15-0-1-0-0 (36)
Greg Powroznik, Par-King Red, 2019: 2-12-0-1-2-1 (46)



Scoring three or four consecutive holes-in-one
Thirty-seven different players have recorded back-to-back holes-in-one at the Mini Masters. However, the first player ever to take three total strokes over three holes was Aaron Good, who accomplished the feat at Kristof's 6th, 7th, and 8th holes in 2000.
Michael Cullen improved upon the feat in 2003 by scoring it at perhaps the most difficult three-hole stretch in the tournament-- Action Territory's 10th, 11th, and 12th holes. How unlikely was the streak? The 10th hole had only allowed one previous ace (also to Michael Cullen) in the first six years of the tournament, while being responsible for no less than 31 sixes. The 11th hole, a multi-level hole, had allowed only three holes-in-one previously. The 12th hole, a par four, had yielded only two. In less than ten minutes, Michael had accounted for one-third of all the holes-in-one scored at that three-hole stretch in seven years.
Still, this feat was outdone in 2008 when Ursula Cullen scored four consecutive holes-in-one at Par-King Black, acing the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th holes. Counting three holes-in-one at the previous course, Lighthouse, Ursula had 7 holes-in-one in a 16-hole span. She had two more in the other 92 holes that day to finish with nine, tying her for the overall holes-in-one title and falling just one short of tying the single-day record at the time.
In 2017, Stephanie Altergott became the first MCMM player in 9 years to earn three straight holes-in-one when she aced Wisconsin Adventure's 11th, 12th, and 13th in order--three holes where she'd scored threes the previous year!
In 2018, Tom Schweiss dispelled any notions that there might be a final-round challenge to his tourney lead by acing the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd holes at Par-King Red en route to a record-tying round of 33.


Ten or more holes-in-one in a single tournament
In most years, reaching double digits in holes-in-one is good enough to guarantee one will lift the trophy for most holes-in-one. In fact, the aces trophy winner in 12 of the 20 Mini Masters tournaments thus far didn't make it to ten. On rare occasions, multiple people hit the mark in the same year. The only players to reach double digits more than once are Mick Cullen (3 times), Tommy Schweiss (twice), and Jason Gola (twice), and only three of the 15 instances on this list were accomplished by that year's tournament champion (denoted by an asterisk).  The only players to reach 10+ in consecutive tournaments are Mick Cullen (12 each in 2011 and 2012) and Tommy Schweiss (10 each in 2022 and 2023). Here are all thirteen players who've hit the mark!

Four or more holes-in-one in a single round
Out of the 4,614 rounds in Mini Masters history (through 2023), only 37 have featured four or more holes-in-one. Five of those have had five holes-in-one. Three of the players who have achieved five aces in a round have never had more than three in any other round. In the case of Matthew Cullen in 2017, he had five holes-in-one in one round, four in another, and none in any of the other four rounds that day; still, his total of nine aces was enough for him to garner the Most Holes-in-one Trophy for a second straight year! Here are all the instances of four or more aces in a round, along with the scores the players managed in those rounds!

Recording two or more of each possible hole score in one round
Scoring 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the same round is not particularly special. It happens several times in each tournament, and it's happened 199 times in MCMM history. However, it is far more unique to record each of those scores at least twice in the same round. A course has to have some holes tough enough to force a six while also providing ample hole-in-one opportunities.
To date, this distinction has only been accomplished seven times. Four of the instances have occurred at Lighthouse, which has one notorious "six-able" hole, a couple other doozies, and many ace possibilities.

Scoring 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in a 6-hole span
When a player scores all six possible hole scores in one round, those scores are usually spread out over the 18-hole round. In a little less than 10% of those instances, they score the six different scores on six consecutive holes. These are those occurrences. As you can see, only one player has done it twice, and the list of players includes an eight-time champion!

Hole-in-one every round
Out of the mere 13 competitors at the first Mini Masters in 1997, two-- Michael Cullen and Dan Hill-- managed to get at least one hole-in-one in each round of the day. In the next 13 years (1998-2010), with a total of 358 competitors finishing the entire schedule of six courses, it only happened four more times-- three by amateurs.
Bizarrely, four more players then accomplished this remarkable feat in 2011, and two of them (Sara Cahill and James Hamilton) were rookies. Karen Kemnitz joined the club two years later. R.J. Dusak, in 2014, became the first player to accomplish the feat for a second time. In the last eight Mini Masters, seven more players have joined the club for the first time.
The only player to accomplish this feat twice is R.J. Dusak!
