When I'm not working...
Oh, I would love to participate in a tournament in NES Open Tournament Golf! Just imagine, me, Mr. M., with a golf club in my hand and my best friends Yoshi and Luma by my side. Yoshi would be the caddy, of course, and Luma would keep an eye on the ball to make sure it doesn't end up in the bunker. We would have so much fun, and I'm sure we would crush the competition! And after a long day on the course, we would enjoy a nice glass of Mint Tea together. Fantastic, right?
