Adventure Golf Island's Wednesday Night League

Adventure Golf Island at Fife Leisure Park in Dunfermline, Scotland is starting up a new Minigolf League this week.

Emily and I played the Adventure Golf Island courses in 2012

From Wednesday 17 June players players will be able to compete in a weekly league night at Adventure Golf Island with the chance to win up to £50.

Every Wednesday competitors will play both the Treasure Island and Pirates Cove courses. For more information check out the Adventure Golf Island Facebook page.

League nights are great fun and it's nice to see a course putting together a regular competition.

Back in 2008 I played in the Star City Adventure Golf League in Birmingham where I finished the season as runner-up.

Adventure Golf Island will also be hosting a British Minigolf Association tournament on Sunday 28 June. The third edition of the Scottish Open will be played on both courses with an 8.30am tee-off time. More information is available on the BMGA website.

The Adventure Golf Island courses were the 294th and 295th courses played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in 2012 while we were on a roadtrip exploring the north west of England, some of Scotland and the north east coast.

Minigolf Report - Adventure Island Minigolf League – Final Result

Luton Minigolfer Richard Gottfried finished in 2nd place in the Adventure Island Minigolf League held at Star City in Birmingham after being beaten to the title by one point. After nine weeks of play the final rankings in the League were decided on Monday 29th September with reigning World Crazy Golf Champion Chris Harding taking the league title with 31 points, with Richard on 30 points.

Richard had faced a week long wait to confirm his final ranking position having finished his matches with a total of 30 points from 14 matches. He was guaranteed a place in the top two and had been the league leader for four of the league’s nine weeks.

Only Chris Harding posed a threat to the number one spot having three games in hand. Chris needed to gain six points in his three final matches to overhaul Richard. In his matches on Monday Harding achieved two wins and a loss in order to lift the trophy. Jam Trubridge finished in third place.

Gottfried said “Congratulations to Chris who managed to hold it together just enough to beat me in his penultimate game. It was very close at the top of the table and to be beaten by just one point is a bit disappointing, but I’m proud of my win/loss record in the league and I’m looking forward to the challenge of the Winter League starting soon.”

Minigolf Report
Adventure Island Minigolf League – Week 8
Luton Minigolfer Richard Gottfried finished play in the Adventure Island Minigolf League at Star City in Birmingham with two wins on Monday 22nd September. Gottfried defeated John Whitehead 35 to 41 on the Hidden Cove Challenge Course and beat Matthew Harding 38 to 41 on the Lost Hut Trail Course.

Richard now faces a one-week wait to confirm his final ranking position. He is guaranteed a place in the top two and is currently sitting in first place with 30 points from his 10 wins. Only reigning World Crazy Golf Champion Chris Harding poses a threat to the number one spot having three games in hand which he will play next week. Chris must gain six points in his three final matches to overhaul Richard – a win and 2 draws would result in a playoff match over 36 holes.

Gottfried said “I’ve done all I can and played my best Minigolf. I just need to sit tight and let the other matches happen, Chris is the World Champion and is an awesome player, but there are a lot of other good players in the league so I’ll be hoping a bit of luck goes their way when they face him next week.”

In other results from Star City Richard teamed up with new Minigolf Doubles partner Andy Gonsalves to defeat Matt Smith & Fraser Cameron in a 36-hole Doubles Matchplay match, with Gottfried sinking an Ace at the 33rd hole to seal the victory 5 &3.

In addition to the final table being decided next Monday Richard will also be competing in a Cup Tournament at Star City.
