Pretend to be a Time Traveller Day

It's Pretend to be a Time Traveller Day today. If you could go to any time period to play Miniature Golf when would it be?

Emily visited the Time Machine Minigolf course in Warsaw, Poland back in 2017.

My brother Christopher also visited a time travel themed GlowGolf minigolf course in Amsterdam in 2017.

Happy Gluten Free Baking Week

The week before Christmas is Gluten Free Baking Week.

I found out via the National Day Calendar that the week before Christmas is Gluten Free Baking Week!

Since I attended the Cheshire Coeliac Meeting in October I've got into baking gluten free snacks, savouries and cakes.

Gluten free sausage rolls

What shall I bake for Gluten Free Baking Week?

National App Day

Happy National App Day.

Today is National App Day.

On our travels to more than 900 miniature golf courses we've seen a few places that have introduced an app to compliment or replace the traditional paper scorecard. Some of these apps are really good and help to enhance the experience.

The apps we've found offer a range of scoring functions, loyalty and reward schemes, games, reviews, contests, information and tips.

The excellent Hastings Adventure Golf App and hole 2 in real-life - it's the trickiest hole on the Crazy Golf course in Hastings

There's certainly a real mixed bag of apps available on Android and iPhone.

• Golf Kingdom in Romford - home of Moby Golf
• Golf Mini game
• Hastings Adventure Golf

Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day

Today is Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day.

The first Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day took place in 2007.

In 2017 Emily visited the Time Machine Minigolf course in Warsaw, Poland.

Time Machine Minigolf in Warsaw, Poland

The 18-hole minigolf course takes players through a wonderful time travelling adventure - from the Big Bang, to the Jurassic era, through mankind's achievements and to a vision of the future!

My brother Christopher also visited the time travel themed GlowGolf minigolf course in Amsterdam in January 2017.

The closest I've been to time travel was when I saw my first real-life DeLorean earlier this year.

My first DeLorean

Although back in 2012 I did play a Time Machine minigolf hole at the Golf Apocalypse in London.

If you could travel to any point in the history of minigolf from 1867 to the present day where would you go?

Today is International Ninja Day

Happy International Ninja Day.

Ninja Golf! in Granger, Indiana, USA is one of the miniature golf courses in the USA that we really want to play on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

One of the pieces of superb merch from Ninja Golf!

I bet our friend Pat Sheridan aka Accounting Ninja from The Putting Penguin will be celebrating.

This is what a Minigolf Ninja looks like

The Day of the Ninja was created by Ninja Burger in 2003.
