'How I Met Your Mother' star Alyson Hannigan recently tried her hand at mini golf. She took to Instagram to share snippets of her outing with her friends.

Hannigan appeared to have visited an arcade to play mini golf along with 'Bachelorette' star Jenn Tran and 'Dancing with the Stars' pro dancer Sasha Farber. The $40M star had dressed casually in jeans, a T-shirt, and a plaid shirt over it and had opted to leave her hair open.

The actress wrote a hilarious caption for the two-picture carousel featuring a group photo and a snap of her playing mini golf.

"Mini golf pro in the making,"

Farber also shared some pictures from the group's mini golf date. Giving tough competition to Hannigan in the cheeky caption department, he wrote:

"We tried golf safe to say, I sucked"

Which films feature mini golf scenes?

Mini golf is hands down one of the most romantic activities to do on first dates. It is competitive, light, and fun in equal measure. It also provides ample time and opportunity for people to interact and talk to each other, making it the perfect set-up for any dreamy outing.

It comes as no surprise that many romantic comedies have incorporated a mini golf scene. In 'No Strings Attached,' the lead pair, Adam and Emma, played by Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman, respectively, go out on a Valentine's Day date where Adam arranges for them to play mini golf together. Despite playing it for the first time, Emma aces the game.

In the Netflix original, 'Set It Up,' the female lead Harper, played by Zoey Deutch, goes to mini golf for a first date with a guy she met on a dating app. Despite things starting off a little awkward, they end up having a good time.

In 'Happy Gilmore' the eponymous character, played by Adam Sandler, practices in a mini-golf arena to improve his short game. The golf-based film had shot the mini-golf scenes on location at Happy Land, which was a part of the larger 'Playland' leisure complex in Vancouver, Canada.

Several other films of different genres, such as Gone Girl, Jackass: The Movie, Getting Even with Dad, and Overboard, among others, also feature mini golf scenes.
