Golfing odyssey!

| At Quest Krazy Golf in Dudley in April 2013 |
It was on Saturday 30th of September 2006 that Emily and
I visited the Treasure Island Adventure Golf course in Portsmouth while
visiting my brother Christopher in the town.

We’ve also found many unplayable and derelict courses on
our travels. These unloved and forgotten courses once again being looked upon
by enthusiastic eyes.
In the last year we’ve managed to play at fifteen new
courses, revisit a number of courses and visit a further twelve courses we
couldn’t play for one reason or another.

Who knows how many more Minigolf courses we’ll play in
the coming weeks, months and years. There are some courses in London and St Albans that are on our ‘to play very soon’ list, while other courses in the
south west of England (where there are many!) will take some time to explore properly.

Whatever happens we’ll continue to tour the country and
the great British coastline, popping into seaside resorts in the hope of
playing a new and exciting course, or rediscovering a long-forgotten remnant of
Minigolf history.

Many thanks to everyone who has tipped us off about a course we hadn't yet played or didn't know about, it's very much appreciated.
We've met some great friends and interesting people on our travels for fun and on the domestic and international Miniature Golf competition circuit. Thank you to each and every one of them.

ReplyDeleteCharter member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Christopher 'Beya' Gottfried used to live in Southsea and just so happened to be in the town again today on the anniversary of our first course visit!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the Treasure Island Adventure Golf course was closed.
How different would life have been had this been the case seven years ago...?
