Cute! 🛋
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

Three tries but I got it. Fun.
Funny story. I was all set to enter
Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Based on your location, the irony is profound.

What a fun and creative grid. I've found what I think is the first mechanism but still hanging out on the couch asking myself what to do with it.

Third time is the charm. Off the dang couch! I was making this more of a Gaffney puzzle. Great job Peter!
