We played the two new indoor crazy golf courses at Looney Golf in Bradford on our recent trip to the city.

There are two 8-hole minigolf courses at Looney Golf - the Neon Jungle and the Dump Yard - plus a bonus hole.

We played the Neon Jungle, followed by the Dump Yard. We were the first players of the day and as we were playing a few other groups started their rounds, but there was plenty of space between us.

We were joined in the minigolf match-up by our friend and crazy golf rival Cat Patterson. A rival who has secured wins against us both before, so we knew it was going to get competitive.

In our game on the Neon Jungle Cat did indeed take the win, with a round of 21, including a hole-in-one on hole 2 'Holey Moley'.

I shot a 25 for second place, while Emily hit a 27.

Moving on to the Dump Yard layout Emily started strongly with an ace at the first hole.

However, I was able to secure the win by one shot, with a round of 29 to Emily's 30. Cat was five shots back on 35.

I wonder what the last Pre-Order games were?

The shelves are bare - but still branded

Note the Covid-19 social distancing signs outside the shop

We've also seen former Grainger Games stores in StretfordSalfordHyde and Ashton-Under-Lyne. Interestingly some of them still had a few bits of stock inside!

The company was founded in 1996 and ceased operations on the 28th March 2018.

As a brand with shops in the North of England and Scotland I only became a regular shopper at Grainger Games when I moved to Stockport in 2016. I picked up some nice old games for my SEGA Master System there.
