A look at minigolf guest blog posts on The Ham & Egger Files.
It's brilliant receiving photos, information and updates from - and about - crazy golf, minigolf, miniature golf putting, pitch & putt, adventure golf, and Putt-Putt courses around the world. There's such a wide-range and variety of courses out there.

I've been travelling to minigolf courses and blogging about our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since 2006.
During that time Emily and I have met so many people and made some great friends, many of whom have contributed to our travels by telling us about new courses, letting us know about course refurbs, or by sending over photos of courses they've been too. We've also received excellent photos of miniature golf courses from our family, friends, our networks, and course owners, managers, designers and builders themselves.

What makes it extra special is that these guest blog posts have captured a course in a moment of time, and in some cases such as pop-ups and courses that are now closed - courses that we'll never be able to visit or play.

It's wonderful seeing the variety of courses around the world, and also how many places you can find a course to have a round.

Some of the courses our friends and family have been to are far flung, and even some of those in the British Isles are in places off the beaten path or in island locations we haven't had the chance to reach yet.
