The 51st Minigolf Course visited and played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the Eternit (Miniaturegolf) course at the Manse RG Club in Tampere, Finland where we played for Great Britain in the 2008 Nations Cup competition.
On the 9th May 2009 five members of the 2008 Nations Cup squad played in the first Tampere Reunion Classic competition at Wroxham Barns, Norfolk.
A blog about our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. With a sprinkling of nostalgia and urban exploration for good measure.

A year ago in Minigolf...
A year ago this weekend, Emily and I were in Tampere, Finland having been selected to be members of the Great Britain Minigolf Sport team that competed in the 2008 WMF Nations Cup.
The Great Britain Minigolf teams finished the tournament in 12th & 13th places.
In the individual rankings Richard finished in 51st place and Emily in 53rd.
The whole experiencing of representing my country and playing minigolf on the tough Tampere, Finland courses has definitely improved my playing skills - I've since become a BMGA British Club Champion, Weymouth Open Champion and holder of the Manchester Mini Masters title!
Back in May 2008 I was ranked 25th in the BMGA Order of Merit Rankings and at present I am ranked 17th in Great Britain.
This year the Great Britain Minigolf Sport team will be going to Odense in Denmark for the World Minigolf Championships.
Full details, results and statistics from the WMF Nations Cup 2008 can be found here.

Swedish Felt - A-run in Finland & B-run in Guildford
Prior to playing on the Swedish Felt Run course in Stoke Park, Guildford I had only played on this type of course once before - at the Manse RG in Tampere, Finland following play in the Nations Cup 2008.
On the Tampere course (18-holes, full-size 'A-run' course) I had scored a 51(+15) (with 2 Aces & 1 Seven) in the Rotten Shark Classic (The unofficial British Swedish Felt Run Championships) on 11th May 2008 where I finished 4th of 10 players.
Playing on the 12-hole (B-run) course in Guildford I carded the following four scores:
Round 1 - 29(+5) - 2 Aces, 0 Sevens
Round 2 - 33(+9) - 3 Aces, 1 Seven
Round 3 - 31(+7) - 4 Aces, 1 Seven
Round 4 - 37(+13) - 1 Ace, 1 Seven
