Here's how to get on 'Holey Moley,' ABC's miniature golf show.
Though the community doesn’t seem to be casting for long run episodes this present day, the eligibility necessities are still on-line. All aspiring golfers should be prison citizens of the U.S., no less than 18 years of age, and agree to a background check.
You can access the full application on the MysticArt Pictures website online.
Potential contributors are asked to fill out a questionnaire and submit a video showing off their golf talents — severely, the casting name requests clips of 5 putts at 5 ft and a golf swing face-on, amongst different ability challenges.

Don't be fooled: 'Holey Moley' competitors are hardly ever amateurs.
Season 1’s Mick Cullen revealed to Chicago’s Daily Herald in 2019 what the applying process used to be like for him.
After finishing the important paperwork online, the miniature golf international document holder had several phone and Skype interviews with producers, adopted via a background test. Six months after he first applied, Mick flew to L.A. to compete in an episode of the show, which he ended up profitable.
His mom, Dianne Cullen, was once also a contestant on the show; like her son, she took home the weekly $25,000 prize.
Mick lately holds the report for the largest collection of mini-golf rounds performed in 24 hours. He shot 5,040 holes (or 280 18-hole rounds) for a charity match in 2011, proving he’s no average player. But the community college instructor shared that he mainly loves the game as it’s inclusive.
"You don't have to be particularly large or a superior athlete to play," he explained to the opening. "Age and gender don't factor as much. My 5-year-old son can beat me on a hole. You can be as competitive or non-competitive as you want to be."
'Holey Moley' features a hole called "Dutch Courage."
Other notable previous contestants include:
- Allison Smith (Season 1) — owns two mini-golf classes in Florida.
- Jeffrey Barber (Season 1) — a golf teacher from Burbank, Calif.
- Chelsea Kinard (Season 2) — a former professional golfer from Houston.
- Jaime Jacob (Season 4) — a qualified golfer from Encinitas, Calif.
Ahead of the 2019 series premiere of Holey Moley, show author Chris Culvenor stated it was necessary to in finding contestants who see the game as greater than only a recreational activity.
"Every competitor on Holey Moley is really passionate about miniature golf," the showrunner advised Newsday at the time. "I think if the contestants didn't take it seriously it wouldn't work."
But it’s similarly essential to Culvenor that everyone has a blast. "If we played it totally serious like American Ninja Warrior, it would seem forced," he noted.
"We wanted to explore a sport that the Everyman can play … Everyone has a fond memory about miniature golf. So we loved that idea of taking that nostalgia and amping it up to the next level."
You can catch new episodes of Holey Moley on Tuesdays at Eight p.m. EST on ABC.
