New minigolf video with The Putter King

One of my minigolf arch-rivals and I have collaborated on a new hole-in-one video. Check it out on 'The Putter King' Allan Cox's YouTube Channel.



My antipodean rival and friend has been YouTubing since 2011. Our fierce rivalry began during the worldwide Putter King Miniature Golf Scavenger Hunt in 2012! Allan won that.

Check out Allan's YouTube Channel for stacks of other minigolf and Putt-Putt videos - including his most popular upload which has received more than 4m views!

Allan Cox's 100 Minigolf Trick Shots Video

My antipodean Minigolf chum Allan 'The Putter King' Cox has put(t) together a great video of 100 Minigolf Trick Shots!

Two and a half years in the making the 21 minute video shows the crazy minigolfer playing at a variety of Putt Putt, Minigolf, Crazy Golf and Adventure Golf courses down under and making a huge array of brilliant miniature golf trickshots!

Check it out on YouTube and below.

 

The video was made in aid of the Bear Cottage children's hospice in Australia and every view of the video helps generate income for the good cause.

Allan Cox of Australia wins the 2012 Putter King Miniature Golf Scavenger Hunt!

 

Reigning and defending 'Putter King' Allan Cox from Australia managed to retain his title as the Putter King Miniature Golf Scavenger Hunt Champion as he achieved a massive haul of 2,875 points in the 2012 Putter King Miniature Golf Scavenger Hunt!

 

His points haul was a 'mere' 2,800 points ahead of my total!

 

The Putter King contest was an international affair with the top five competitors hailing from Australia, the USA (three players) and the UK (me).

 

Last year I was the runner-up in the contest after a sudden-death public-vote play-off after Allan and I tied for the lead!

Allan Cox's Charity Putt Putt World Record Attempt - 570 Minigolf Holes-in-One!

Putt Putt Champion to attempt a Minigolf Hole-in-One World Record in Australia!

 

On Sunday 16th September 2012 Allan 'The Putter King' Cox will attempt (and no doubt succeed) in a World Record of scoring 570 holes-in-one in Minigolf/Putt Putt Miniature Golf!

 

The World Record is a fundraiser for Allan's five-year-old nephew Chaise Edenborough who has soft tissue cancer and type-one diabetes. The target is to raise $5000 for the Oncology Department at the Westmead Children's Hospital, Parramatta, near Sydney, Australia.

 

The World Record Attempt will be played at the Putt Putt Ermington Miniature Golf course in West Ryde, Australia.

 

All the best to Allan in his attempt. I have no doubt that he'll be able to break the World Record. He is after all a five-team Australian Putt Putt Champion and the reigning Putter King!

To donate to the cause please check out the Chaising Aces Facebook Page.
