It's just not cricket

All this nice weather and we can't play minigolf (or cricket).

Where are you looking forward to playing minigolf when the world reopens after the coronavirus pandemic lockdown?

We've seen a couple of interesting cricket-themed holes on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Trailer Trash Jim's Crazy Golf at Level Preston

We've got 40 more courses to visit to tick off all of the original 600 courses we set out to visit when our travels began in 2006.

Hundreds more have opened during the minigolf boom of the last decade.

There are quite a few in Nottingham and the wider East Midlands. The Highfields Park Adventure Golf course also has a cricket-themed hole.

The sports themed course has a podium on the 18th hole - a very nice touch

Our road-trip to Southampton and back saw us visit 18 more courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. One of them was the Adventure Golf course at Romsey Rapids Sports Complex in Southampton, Hampshire.

Lots of sports are on offer on the minigolf course!

The Adventure Golf course at Romsey Rapids Sports Complex was the 877th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Anyone for tennis?

Or a swim

Rugby too. Not sure if it's Union or League though

Bridge is a sport right?

Emily's at the cricket

Stumped how you'd get a hole-in-one on this hole

I wonder what the best score is on the Romsey Rapids Crazy Golf course

Hole 18 and the podium

Hampions of Cheadle Hulme

Better a Hampion than a Ham & Egger.

Not sure if Manchester Rugby Club are the champs, or if the winners are the visitors

Seeing this sign reminded me of the Championship Winning Ham at a butchers in Needham Market, Suffolk. Surely a Ham Championship is a Hampionship...

Winning the Bronze Medal at the Oswestry Games "Oslympics Open Quiz"

British Minigolf Association Team finishes in third-place at Oslympic Sports Quiz at Oswestry Cricket Club..

On Friday 13th July Emily and I headed to Oswestry Cricket Club which was to be the host for the Oswestry Games’ “Oslympics Open Quiz” event.

With five players in town ready for the weekend’s Minigolf action we split into two teams – with me, Emily and Marc ‘The Force’ Chapman making up the BMGA team of the ‘Crazy Minigolfers’ while Ruth Burke (who would later join our team) and Steve Sturdy were joined by some family members to make up another team.

After twelve intense rounds of sports and Olympic-themed questions the Crazy Minigolfers were announced as Oslympic Bronze Medal winners and were asked to take their place on the podium to receive their medals and bottles of Station Bitter from the event sponsors Stonehouse Brewery!

The Oslympics Quiz winners were Team Drink GB, with the team of JT was Innocent in second-place.
