A token blog post

A look at some 1980's Putt-Putt tokens from the USA.

Putt-Putt Golf.

The very first Putt-Putt Golf course was created by Don Clayton in Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA back in 1954.

In the 1960's Putt-Putt franchises began opening outside of the US, in locations such as South Africa, Australia and Japan. There were also courses in the UK, the first of which opened in Sunderland in 1968. Others followed at Flamingo Land in Yorkshire and in Buxton, Derbyshire. However, information on these UK courses is limited.

Minigolf tokens today?

Do you know of any adventure golf, crazy golf or minigolf courses that still have tokens nowadays?

Lucky Last Holes in minigolf

Hitting the 'Top Hole' in minigolf.

Lucky 19th Hole at the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Great Yarmouth in 2011

One of the aims of the game of minigolf is - once the 9, 12 or 18-holes of regulation play is done, and if they have one - to 'WIN A FREE GAME' on the 'Lucky Last Hole', aka the 'Top Hole'.

Lucky 10 Hole at the Arnold Palmer Mini Crazy Golf Putting Course in Whitby in 2015

Not every minigolf course has one of these 'Lucky Last Holes', but those that do come with a variety of obstacles in your way to the top hole, and that prized free game!

Lucky 13 Hole - Top Hole - at Broadstairs Minigolf in 2008

When you do 'Ace' the top hole you may find a cannon is fired, a bell rung, or a voice talks to you!

On our very first minigolf course visit on the 30th September 2006 I managed to Fire the Cannon and win a free game at the Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea - that was one of the things that really sparked off our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

I seem to have had a lot of luck winning FREE GAMES at Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea over the years

But I then had to wait until the 4th of September 2009 and my 150th course visit, at the Arnold Palmer Masters Putting Course, aka Crazee Golf, in Southport until my next win!
