For an additional $3 you get the 3-D glasses to get the full experience. Although I immediately observed that if one is playing mini-golf on a real-live mini-golf course, one is experiencing actual 3-D. No extra enhancement needed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dondailey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSC_5158blogbig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1570]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dondailey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/DSC_5158blogsmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"DSC_5158blogsmall\" width=\"300\" height=\"452\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1567\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is possibly the greatest photo I&#8217;ve ever taken.
