While we haven't been out visiting and playing minigolf courses since mid-March we have been writing a lot about the game.
We've just sent out
our 20th newsletter of the year.

At the Wythenshawe Park Crazy Golf course in Manchester |
Pandemic stops putting
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic we were closing in on visiting the final 40 courses of the original 600 we set out to play in 2006. We're also very close to hitting 1,000 course visits overall.
Before the lockdown hit and our out-of-home putting was paused we'd visited 948 courses since September 2006.
20 courses in 20 days in 2020
We had a strong start to the year and visited 20 courses in the first 20 days of 2020.
Our travels took us to miniature golf venues in Oxford, Birmingham, Manchester, Northwich, Doncaster and Castleford.
A revisit
We went to Wythenshawe Park just over the border in Manchester for our daily outdoor exercise last Sunday and revisited the Crazy Golf we first played in 2009. While there we also visited the currently closed Pitch & Putt Miniature Golf course. That became course visit 949 and the first new course we've been to since the pandemic hit.
