Lucky 19th Hole at the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Great Yarmouth in 2011
One of the aims of the game of minigolf is - once the 9, 12 or 18-holes of regulation play is done, and if they have one - to 'WIN A FREE GAME' on the 'Lucky Last Hole', aka the 'Top Hole'.

Not every minigolf course has one of these 'Lucky Last Holes', but those that do come with a variety of obstacles in your way to the top hole, and that prized free game!

When you do 'Ace' the top hole you may find a cannon is fired, a bell rung, or a voice talks to you!
On our very first minigolf course visit on the 30th September 2006 I managed to Fire the Cannon and win a free game at the Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea - that was one of the things that really sparked off our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!
Emily about to win a FREE GAME on the Lucky Last Hole at Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea
I seem to have had a lot of luck winning FREE GAMES at Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea over the years
But I then had to wait until the 4th of September 2009 and my 150th course visit, at the Arnold Palmer Masters Putting Course, aka Crazee Golf, in Southport until my next win!
Playing the Free Game Hole at The Masters Putting Course in Southport
A revisit to the Crazy Golf course at Hesketh Park in Southport.
On Saturday 8th October we revisited Southport for the first time since 2009 and had to see if we could get a game on the Crazy Golf course at Hesketh Park. Luckily for us the course was open.

In our minigolf match-up I defeated Emily 21-27, scoring two aces along the way.
As a brilliant bonus I won a FREE GAME on the LUCKY LAST HOLE to add another FREE GAME TICKET to my collection.
Winning
The course was £1.50 for a round, and while the course looks a little rough around the edges it plays really rather well.
You can actually play some quite skillful angle shots and a hole-in-one is possible on almost all of the holes. Although at some point in the course's history some of the holes were a bit longer!
Hole 1
There definitely used to be more hole there by the look of it
We also found out there's another Crazy Golf course very close to Hesketh Park, but only realised this after we left! Luckily we're heading back to the seaside town again next month so will definitely look up the Mini Golf course at the Botanic Gardens in Churchtown then.

On our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour (currently standing at 251 courses played) I have only managed to win Free Games at four courses! Emily has won at three courses.
At one of our most recent minigolf course re-visits, Emily and I both won free games at the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Great Yarmouth on Sunday 5th June.
