Kids asked me where the line was for my golf skee-ball game

For a school project, I built a golf version of skee-ball out of cardboard and tape in my garage. Then almost all the kids ran to it, with both my parents there to see it.

When I brought my project to school, almost all the kids ran to it. Then they started asking me where the line was.

For my school project, I built a golf skee-ball game. It's just like skee-ball, but it's golf. And there's a hole in one.

I came up with it because my mom loves skee-ball. Honestly, it was the only idea I really had. I did come up with some other ideas, but my parents said this one would be the easiest to build, and it didn't have a lot of flaws. It turned out to be the best one. Mine was the most successful.

My parents were just the carriers. They got it to school. The building I did myself, in my garage.

I didn't need anything fancy. I really just had to cut cardboard, use rulers, a Swiss Army knife, duct tape and Scotch tape.

The hardest part was cutting the circles. I had to ruler it out first. Then I used the Swiss Army knife to cut it, flipped it around, used the knife again and pulled the piece out. Every circle had to be a different size, and I had to leave space between each one so the ball could roll down, like it does in skee-ball. That was hard.

While I was building it, I didn't know it was going to work. I knew it was working once it was at school and a lot of kids were playing my thing. What felt good was that mine was actually being used.

It also felt good that my parents were both there, watching it get used.
