Crazy Golf in Abingdon's Abbey Meadows

A revisit to the first miniature golf course I ever played.

At the weekend I visited my home town of Abingdon-on-Thames in Oxfordshire. While there I had to go and have a look at the Crazy Golf course that was the first-ever minigolf course I played.

On our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour the Abbey Meadows Crazy Golf course became the 31st played in August 2007.

When we first walked up to the out-of season minigolf course we thought it had been felted. But no, it was a build-up of moss on holes one and two of the Crazy Golf course at the Abbey Meadows in Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxfordshire

I last played the course in June 2012 in match-up against my brother Jon. That visit saw a rematch following our game in April 2012.
