Swedish Felt Minigolf hole-in-one in Maryport, Cumbria
Playing minigolf at the Lake District Coast Aquarium Crazy Golf course in Maryport.
The course was originally the 469th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in April 2012. We returned in June 2023 and were able to have a round on the Swedish Felt B-Run type of minigolf layout on that occasion.
Take a look at this blog post to see more of the course.

Today is Summerween!
Happy Summerween.
Summerween is celebrated annually on the second to last Friday of the month of June.
The quirky event is also on the 22nd June. So you get two bites of the cherry (or should that be watermelon) to celebrate it.

Minigolfing underneath a rollercoaster
A look back at a crazy golf course at Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells, Skegness, Lincolnshire, England.
Sadly this particular crazy golf course is a lost course. Fantasy Island is now home to an 18-hole course called Lava Creek Adventure Golf. It's a course we are yet to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Crazy Golfing on a football pitch in Luton
A look back at a pop-up crazy golf course in Luton, Bedfordshire.
We played a pop-up crazy golf course on a football pitch at a Charity Fun Day at Kent Athletic Club in Luton back in August 2011.
When we lived in Luton Kent Athletic F.C. was our nearest football team.
| Bring back unique posters like this for fun day type events! It's far better than AI slop |
Looking online it appears that the club's home ground closed at the end of 2015. Kent Athletic F.C. does still exist though and this year celebrates its centenary.

The Tee Party Crazy Golf course at The Club House in Spinningfields, Manchester
A look back at the Tee Party Crazy Golf course at The Club House in Spinningfields, Manchester.
I was in Manchester one day after this pop-up crazy golf course had closed in June 2016 so no clubs or balls were available for me to play. At least the holes were still there. The course became the 684th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
