A look back at the 2008 Nations Cup of Minigolf in Finland.
We made our Great Britain team debuts at the 2008 Nations Cup of Minigolf in Tampere, Finland twelve years ago today!

The Beton Concrete Mini Golf course at the Manse RG Club in Tampere was the 50th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. The Eternit Miniature Golf course was the 51st and the Swedish Felt Minigolf course was the 52nd played.
What a team!
ReplyDeleteI remember a classic Ted moment. The locals were having trouble clearing the course of debris as the blower wasn't working. Ted and I looked at the blower and he said something like it works better with petrol in it. Bosch! I don't think the British team team got the credit they deserved.
