Description

With a good line Merry Go Round is a fun, windy romp through excellent haystacks. With a bad line, things can get ugly. Enter left to skirt a gnarly hole as you begin to whirl around the merry go round but be ready to crash through others, as avoiding one hazard seems to square you up for something else.
