19 years ago on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

A look back at the 10th course played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We visited the 10th course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour on this day 18 years ago.

On a bitterly cold 23rd December 2006 Emily, my brother Christopher and I headed along to the Horse & Harrow Pub in West Hagbourne, Oxfordshire to have a game on their beer garden Crazy Golf course.

And what a course it was - we'd not seen anything like it before! And we haven't seen anything quite like it since!

We visited the course again in April 2011 and while it was a bit drier, it was still a very mossy layout.

Little did we know back then that our interest in crazy golf would become an obsession and that we'd visit 1,114 courses over 19 years.

Together with Christopher and his family we've now been to a grand total of 1,168 courses since we all picked up a putter in Southsea on the 30th September 2006.

Gator Golf at Crocodiles of the World in Brize Norton, Carterton

A visit to Gator Golf at Crocodiles of the World.

The Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visits Gator Golf at Crocodiles of the World in Brize Norton, Carterton, Oxfordshire.

I swung by Gator Golf at the Crocodiles of the World zoo in Brize Norton, Carterton, Oxfordshire last month.

Crocodiles of the World is home to a 15-hole outdoor adventure golf course.

The adventure golf course is a new addition to the venue, opening earlier this summer.

There was a special summer discount offer on when I played so my round was £6.40 rather than £8. That was a nice bonus.

I scored a round of 33, with the course par listed as 43 on the scorecard.
