The Base: Each hole has a base that acts as a playing surface with boundaries. Each hole can be broken down into two main parts: 1) the base and 2) an obstacle between the start and the finish. Today we are working on the base. It can be any shape you want it but make walls to keep the ball within the boundaries of your hole. You can use any cardboard but if you have pizza boxes those work the best for the base. They have perfect fold points to make walls and are all the same shape so they can easily be fit together to make bigger shapes.
Here is a tutorial on how to make sections of the base. A good starting place would be to make a section today to see how long it takes.
