A Couple of Putts

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2016

Robin Schwartzman & Tom Loftus passionately explore the world as A Couple of Putts. We play, review, document, and design miniature golf courses anywhere and everywhere since 2012. The two appeared and competed on Season 1 of ABC's competitive mini golf show, Holey Moley. Tom has run an independent record label since 1999 called Modern Radio -www.modern-radio.com and Robin is an multi-disciplinary artist with a portfolio of her work, including caricatures at https://www.robinschwartzman.com/ By day, Tom is the Program & Operations Manager at Pollen Midwest. Pollen is a media arts nonprofit organization that fosters empathy, encourages connection across differences, and inspires meaningful action by sharing stories of individuals who want to change our collective story for the better. He was previously an organizer for the Creative Mornings MSP team and has worked with a number of Twin Cities arts and nonprofit organizations. Robin Schwartzman spends her days as an Instructor, the 3D Digital Fabrication and 2D Technical Coordinator at the University of Minnesota Department of Art. Her large-scale art projects and commissions have been featured at the Walker Art Center, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, BLINK Cincinnati, the Northern Spark Festival, Canal Convergence Scottsdale, ArtScape Baltimore and Hub-Bub in Spartanburg, SC, to name a few. She is also a long-time member and on the board of ISCA, the International Society of Caricature Artists. We love traveling all around the world seeing new and unique sites and meeting new people.
