The Putter King Chronicles

A look back at the Putter King miniature golf brand.

Kevin Dias - creator of the Putter King miniature golf brand - has recently been looking back on the concept and has published 'The Putter King Chronicles' on his website in five parts.

The Putter King Miniature Golf Scavenger Hunt.

One of the brand's marketing activities saw a worldwide Putter King Miniature Golf 'Scavenger Hunt' taking place during 2011. People were invited to track down and record items and achievements related to all forms of minigolf across 17 tasks.

The activities in the first Putter King Miniature Golf Scavenger Hunt had contestants design new minigolf holes and obstacles, play new courses, show off their minigolf ball collections, (re)learn Maths & Physics (in a fun way!) through the Putter King Education Programme, do arts & crafts, hunt for autographs, score holes-in-one, creating minigolf trick-shots and a whole lot more!

In total, there were 1,370 available points to collect. Allan Cox (AUS) won the competition with 960 total points. I finished in second place with 900 total points, and Pat Sheridan (USA) of The Putting Penguin website finished in 3rd place with 585 total points.

The whole Putter King experience was superb and brilliant fun. It's been nice reading about Kevin's journey with the business - and all the bumps, twists and turns in the story!

A look at the Miniature Golf course at Baker's Golf in Lanesborough, MA, USA.

It's always nice to see different minigolf courses around the world and I recently received these photos from Kevin Dias who was back home in the USA and swung by Baker's Golf in Lanesborough, Massachusetts for a game on the outdoor miniature golf course.

Kevin was the brains behind The Putter King - a minigolf brand that brought together minigolfers from around the world in an international treasure hunt!
