Miniature Golf Day - a day of many names

The 21st September is always Miniature Golf Day.

Putting at Lost World Adventure Golf in Hemsby

Much like the many different names for 'Miniature Golf', Miniature Golf Day itself (and its sister appreciation day in May, National Miniature Golf Day) goes by many many many different names!

I've seen it called:

• Global Mini Golf Day
• Global Miniature Golf Day
• Global Minigolf Day
• International Mini Golf Day
• International Miniature Golf Day
• International Minigolf Day
• Mini Golf Day
• Minigolf Day
• National Mini Golf Day
• National Miniature Golf Day
• National Minigolf Day
• World Mini Golf Day
• World Miniature Golf Day
• World Minigolf Day
• Worldwide Mini Golf Day
• Worldwide Miniature Golf Day
• Worldwide Minigolf Day

Whatever you call Miniature Golf Day (or Miniature Golf) it's superb to see the day and game being celebrated worldwide.

As usual, National Miniature Golf Day is on the second Saturday in May, next year that falls on Saturday 10th May 2025. Miniature Golf Day is always on the 21st September and in 2025 that will be a Sunday.

And don't forget, every Monday is #MinigolfMonday!

Swedish Felt Minigolf at the Askoe Wien Wasserpark in Vienna, Austria

A look at the Swedish Felt Minigolf course at the Askoe Wien Wasserpark in Vienna, Austria.

In March 2010 I visited the Askoe Wien Wasserpark in Vienna, Austria and got to play one of the toughest - and longest - Swedish Felt Minigolf courses in Europe.

The layout was the 163rd course played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Pit-Pat

The Askoe Wien Wasserpark was also the first place I spotted a Pit-Pat course (a cross between Billiards/Pool/Snooker and Minigolf!).

Minigolf Tag

On this day in 2013 it was Minigolf Tag (Minigolf Day) in Austria. The event was organised by the Austrian Minigolf Federation (Österreichischer Bahnengolf-Verband - OBGV).

Each year around 550,000 Austrians (15% of the country's population) play Miniature Golf.

It was an out-of-season visit so I didn't get to play the Miniature Golf course there

National Miniature Golf Day Tournament 2015

Report from the 2015 National Miniature Golf Day Championship in Skegness.

Playing a classic Crazy Golf Windmill hole at the Arnold Palmer Putting Course on North Parade

The Saturday of our Skegness Seaside Weekender happened to be the same day as National Miniature Golf Day - so what better way to celebrate it than by playing five minigolf courses in the UK's top spot for the game.

Seth Thomas at the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Skegness

Skegness currently has 110 miniature golf holes spread over ten Crazy, Mini, Adventure, Putting and Pitch & Putt courses! The most of any town in the UK.

Having a round on the country's first-ever Crazy Golf course

Our competition to celebrate the day for minigolf saw us play the two Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf courses on North Parade, Pebble Beach Adventure Golf at the Pleasure Beach, England's first-ever Crazy Golf course on South Parade and the Gold Mine Adventure Golf course at the Pleasure Beach.

The National Miniature Golf Day Championship made-up four of the five rounds of the two-day Skegness Minigolf Championship that saw ten players take part.

National Miniature Golf Day is a quasi-official holiday that began in the USA. It takes place on the second Saturday in May each year.

If you missed National Miniature Golf Day this year don't worry. There's another 'Mini Golf Day' coming up - Miniature Golf Day is always on the 21st of September, which this year falls on a Monday!
