Happy Back to the Future Day 2024

Today is Back to the Future Day.

Back on the 13th March 2020 I got to see a DeLorean time machine at MediaCity in Salford. How different times were then!

In October 2020 we found a video rental shop in Little Lever, Bolton stocked with loads of VHS tapes. It was like stepping back in time!

I got to see my first DeLorean in real life at the Didsbury & South Manchester Car Show in Didsbury Park back in July 2019

A Back to the Future DeLorean - in 2020

I saw a Back to the Future DeLorean time machine four years ago today.

This was the last event we went to, as the world went into shutdown with the coronavirus pandemic shortly afterwards.

In 2019 I ticked 'See a real life DeLorean' off of my bucket list.

On Friday the 13th 2020 I managed to see another one at MediaCityUK in Salford and that one was this Back to the Future version!

Four years later and I still need to drive one...

What time would you go to?

Time flies! Or does it...

What a different time 2023 is!

Today is Back to the Future Day

Happy Back to the Future Day.

We saw a Back to the Future DeLorean time machine at MediaCityUK in Salford a few days before the coronavirus pandemic lockdown was put in place

If you could travel in time would you go to the future or the past?

What a difference a year makes

We saw a Back to the Future DeLorean time machine at MediaCityUK in Salford a year ago today!

If you had a time machine would you go back in time or head to the future?

A retail time machine

Today is Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day.

I pretend to be a Time Traveler quite a bit by hunting out relics of the past that can still be seen today.

Old UK shop brands from my (time) travels

If you could once again shop at a long lost store which one would it be?

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.

Pretending to be a Time Traveller

Today is Pretend to be a Time Traveller Day.

The closest I've been to time travel was when I saw this DeLorean Time Machine back in March this year.

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.

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?

Back in time

Did you remember to put your clocks back an hour?

Here in Stockport we've gone back in time to the year '019'!?

019!?

Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf opening in Cheltenham this week

Mr Mulligan's latest Adventure Golf course is opening in Cheltenham this week.

Tee-off begins at the new two-course, 36-hole indoor Adventure Golf centre at The Brewery Quarter in Cheltenham on Saturday 7th October.

For more info visit the Mr Mulligan Adventure Golf course website. I'm looking forward to playing the course and I've noticed there's also an interesting facility available at Mr Mulligan's Lost World Golf!

The Stevenage course has a Doomsday Device - check out Mr Mulligan's course in Cheltenham to see what they have there!

You can also check out an interview I did with SoGlos magazine ahead of the launch - Interview with mini golf professional Richard Gottfried.

Last summer we visited Mr Mulligan's other Lost World Golf course, in Stevenage.

Time Machine Minigolf in Warsaw, Poland

Visiting the indoor UV blacklight minigolf course at Blue City in Warsaw.

Emily recently made the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour's 27th minigolf course visit overseas when she swung by Time Machine Minigolf at Blue City in Warsaw, Poland. It looks superb.

The 18-hole minigolf course takes players through a fantastic time travelling adventure - from the big bang, to the jurassic era, through mankind's achievements and a vision of the future!

The loop-di-loop obstacle is also a time machine!

We have now visited 723 miniature golf courses since September 2006. 696 of those were in the UK, with 27 overseas.

You get to play through the Wild West at Time Travel Minigolf

Check out the Time Machine Minigolf website for more information, opening times and prices.

What a BIG minigolf ball!

We've visited a number of indoor minigolf courses on our travels and they're becoming more and more popular around the world.

Some of the dinosaur theming at the course

2017 could very well be the year of Time Travel as charter member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Christopher Gottfried visited the time travel themed GlowGolf minigolf course in Amsterdam in January.

The closest I've been to a minigolf time machine recently was hitting the Doomsday Device at Mr Mulligan's Lost World Adventure Golf in Stevenage last year. Although back in 2012 I did play a Time Machine hole at the Golf Apocalypse in London.

GlowGolf Amsterdam

A look inside the GlowGolf indoor minigolf course in Amsterdam.

My brother and Charter Member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Christopher was recently on a Stag Do in Amsterdam and ended up finding and playing the GlowGolf indoor minigolf course there.

The course has a Time Travel theme

We're big fans of glow in the dark indoor minigolf courses and the 15-hole course looks brilliant and very well themed.

The GlowGolf Amsterdam course looks great

There's a miniature railway of sorts on the course

Romanesque

Here be dragons

Under the sea

Explosive!

Christopher tells me the competition for the Amsterdam Open Championship title was intense and while regular golfer Curtis Allen was leading for much of the contest he fluffed one hole to gift the lead to Rob Marson and Christopher. It ended going to the last hole and Rob picked up the win and 1 Euro in prize money by managing to get his ball in the side of the final hole that scored a 1, while Christopher's ball went the other way to score a 2.

GlowGolf Amsterdam can be found at Prins Hendrikkade and shares the building with Grand Café Noah's Arq. Visit the GlowGolf Amsterdam website for more information on the Amsterdam course and their other locations across the Netherlands.

A nice touch to make the putters easier to use
