Miniature Golf Putting at Weston-Super-Mare, plus a Miniature Railway!

On Sunday 17th July 2011 we headed to Weston-Super-Mare and the first Miniature Golf course we played was the Putting at Beach Lawns. The course is also home to a Miniature Railway!

The course was very well maintained and excellently marked out ready for our game.

In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up I defeated Emily by one-shot, scoring a 50, to her 51.

The course became the 259th Miniature Golf course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and it was the first course played as part of the day-long tournament between me and Emily for the 2011 Weston-Super-Mare Pennant.
