I bought some wire ties, a hot glue gun and started glueing together some shapes for his frame.I used the shape of the ties with some chopping and a bit of tricky bending manoeuvres and ended up with this guy.
When a player sinks a ball in the hole beside his rock he will slide up from behind a 1.5m - 2 m rock embankment with his wings unfurling and stretching up toward the roof (2.5m up from the rock), and learching out over the course.
Each wing will span out 4m -5m along the wall its close to, sort of wrapping around the course/players).
A convincing flap or two of his wings (which are to be made out of stretchy fabric and latex), a smoke machine billowing smoke from the mouth and nose, and syncronised dragon roar soundtrack would be an entertaining and add to the final resolve. ...No mean feat. I thought in stead of having flames (OSH says no) we could use flickery orange and red leds to illuminate a portion of the smoke around the dragons mouth (from inside the mouth pointing out). Add a subtle flame whistling in the audio track -perhaps one eminating from a speaker in his head for directional accuracy- and this may work well.
When the dragon has finished his movement sequence the surrounding lights will fade out and he will slide back into the darkness behind the rock to wait for the next person to sink this hole.
