A scorecard and golf ball from the Kleine Hazen Putting Park miniature golf course in South Africa

Some minigolf ephemera and a look at the Kleine Hazen Putting Park miniature golf course at Hazendal in South Africa.


It was very kind of my friend and fellow minigolf enthusiast PJ Goedhals to post a scorecard and golf ball from his visit to the Kleine Hazen Putting Park miniature golf course at Hazendal in South Africa for inclusion in the Crazy Golf Museum.

Adventure Golf at Leen Valley Golf Club in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire

There are plans for a new Adventure Golf Putting course in Nottinghamshire.


There are plans for a new Adventure Golf course at Leen Valley Golf Club in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire

Many thanks to my friend and minigolf rival Jam Trubridge for tipping me off about the plans for a new Adventure Golf Putting course at Leen Valley Golf Club in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire.

As well as the miniature golf layout the plans also include the creation of a toboggan run!

Check out the Leen Valley Golf Club website for more information.


It'll be another new minigolf course for us to play on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in the future.

The Golf Show by American Golf at Event City, Manchester

A visit to the American Golf Show in Manchester.

This afternoon Emily and I swung into day one of The Golf Show by American Golf at Event City in Manchester. We're glad we did as there were plenty of putting opportunities. And Golf Darts!

Minigolfing Adventurers at our 729th course!

First up was a round on the TomTom Sports Adventure Putting course. The 6-hole layout became the 729th course we've visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. It's the 702nd we've been to in the UK and the 429th we've played since our minigolfing travels began in 2006.

In our minigolf match-up Emily picked up the win 13-14 and landed a spot in tied second place on the leaderboard.

Next we had a go on teeofftimes.co.uk's incredibly lengthy Long Putt Challenge.

While neither of us managed to ace it, we did get close.

We then noticed the giant inflatable Dartboard at the end of the hall. It looked brilliant.

I need a bigger back garden so I can get one of these dartboards!

The team at Golphin had set-up the Golf Darts game to promote their training programme for youngsters and I must say it was a great way to get non-golfers into giving the game a go. A fine crossover sport.

In our match-up I overturned the minigolf defeat to Emily by scoring 53 with my five chips/throws to her 0!

We then had to go back to the Adventure Putting for another round. This time I picked up the win 13-14.

Finally I stepped up to have a go on the Pressure Putt Challenge in the Skills Zone.

The Pressure Putt Challenge was tough

The tricky charity putting challenge saw me attempted to sink a succession of putts from two-foot intervals. It's a lot more difficult than you think. Especially when you're against the clock.

If you miss any of your putts you have to return to the first two-footer and work your way back. I finished on the 8 foot mark, which wasn't too bad. Good fun for the £2 charity donation to the On Course Foundation.

Check out our videos from the event on YouTube.

The Golf Show at Event City is on until Sunday and tickets are free. Book your place online via the American Golf website.

Three weeks ago today we were in Wrexham for another one of American Golf's free events - the Adventure Golf Pairs Championship. Peter Jones and I won the regional qualifier at Clays Golf Centre and will be playing in the Grand Final at The Belfry in September.

Adventure Golf Putting at Noah's Ark Golf Centre in Perth

Playing the Adventure Golf Putting course at Noah's Ark Golf Centre in Perth, Scotland.


Back in 2012 we visited 49 courses on a BIG minigolf roadtrip exploring the north west of England, some of Scotland and the north east coast. One of these was the half indoors/half outdoors Adventure Golf Putting course at Noah's Ark Golf Centre in Perth.

The course was the 28th visited on the roadtrip when we called in on the 8th April 2012.

During the trip we also visited St Andrews in Scotland to play the world’s first Miniature Golf course at The Himalayas Putting Course.
