A lovely postcard view

We had a brilliant time at the recent North Wales Postcard Club's fair in Craig-y-Don, Llandudno.

The pick of the 19 miniature golf postcards we found at the event was this view of Kleingolfplatz Überlingen next to Lake Constance (Bodensee in German) and the Swiss Alps in the distance.

This postcard was just 10p!

A note on the unposted card says the visit took place on the 29th August 1960. It always amazes me to find cards in such excellent condition after so much time.

It's always marvellous to see views such as this. I wonder how many golf balls were lost in the lake over the years?

Minigolf Course Visit No. 143 - Rocky Pines, The Great Orme/Y Gogarth, Llandudno

The second (and better) of the two courses on The Great Orme in Llandudno was the 18-hole Rocky Pines Adventure Golf course, which is next to the Summit Complex.

The wind can be a real factor in your play. The video below shows how windy it was on the day we played.

Minigolf Course Visit No. 142 - Alpine Adventure, The Great Orme/Y Gogarth, Llandudno

There are two Adventure Golf courses on the Great Orme (Y Gogarth) mountain in Llandudno.

The first one we played was just under half-way up, at the Ski Centre and was a 9-hole 'Alpine Adventure' Minigolf course.
