The 573rd miniature golf course visited on our
Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the 18-hole Crazy Golf course on Troon seafront.

Unfortunately for us it was closed when we visited - it was very rainy though, so quite understandable. One of the few days when we had really bad weather on our
holiday in Scotland.

The concrete Crazy Golf course had some interesting and colourful looking obstacles and one day we may well get to play it. As it stands it became the 231st course we've visited but not played on our tour.
Reading one of the local papers on the Saturday evening before our visit on the Sunday I noticed that a Commonwealth Games Beach Day had been held on Troon South Beach that afternoon and one of the events was the Scottish Putting Championship! The competition was played in the Italian Sunken Gardens and was a new event that is planned to be held each year. The last time a Putting Championship had been held in the town was in 1964.
While in Troon we also visited
Royal Troon Golf Club!

Royal Troon Golf Club is the third Open venue we've visited on our travels, the first being
St Andrews, the second at
Musselburgh. Shortly after we headed along the coast to Prestwick and walked past another venue of the Open Championship - the very first host course at
Prestwick Golf Club. We were visiting Prestwick to have a look at the
new Putting Green at Prestwick Beach.
