The characters of the On the Buses Fan-club |
The Butler Cup tournament has two categories - Pro and Amateur - as quite a few professional minigolfers are also members of the fan-club! In 2014 Emily won the first edition to feature the Pro category. Brad Shepherd won the 2015 event, while no tournament was held in 2016.
Playing a very tough plateau obstacle |
The 2017 competition took place on Sunday 24th September and saw 23 players compete in one 18-hole round shoot-out.
Chris Jones leads off the tournament |
In the Butler Cup contest for Pro players staying at Pontins for the Fan-club Weekender I scored a round of 35(-1) to take the win - a far-cry from my dismal sixth place finish in 2014. Alan 'Stormin' Norman shot a 37 to take the runner-up spot, with Emily in third on 38.

Also competing in the Pro category were Brad 'The Fist' Shepherd who scored 39, Seth 'Wandsworth' Thomas who hit a 40 and Chris Jones who shot a 43.
The Holiday on the Buses and Prestatyn's Crazy Golf course get the thumbs-up |
In the Holiday on the Buses Amateur category Ad Burton took the win with a score of 49, with Paul Thompson runner-up with a round of 51.

Local minigolf professional Peter 'The Crazy Aced Assassin' Jones shot the low score of 33 to take the overall honours on the day.

A classic Arnold Palmer Putting Course hole and a good chance of a hole-in-one |
