Looking back through the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour archives I noticed that there was also a Mini Golf Putting Course at Stanley Park, which we didn't play!

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Played #46 Blackpool (Pleasure Beach) - Adventure Golf (Old 'Alpine Golf'')

During a break in the training for the inaugural Blackpool Pleasure Beach Open in April 2008, me, Emily and fellow BMGA Tour player Andy 'Sarge' Booth went into the Pleasure Beach itself to visit and play the 'Alpine Golf' Crazy Golf course.

A fun course, with incredibly BIG cups/holes for a Minigolf course!

Closed Minigolf courses in Great Yarmouth

Back in the early days of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, February 2007 to be precise, we visited Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth in the hope to play some of the many Minigolf and Crazy Golf courses there. Unfortunately, they were all closed!

On our return in June 2007 they were open!

We've since visited the courses in Great Yarmouth a number of times. Sometimes we've been lucky enough to play, other times we've had to play Bowlingo instead.

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour course visited, but not played - Kirkley Cliff, Lowestoft

On our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to Lowestoft, Suffolk in February 2007 one of the courses we found (but couldn't play) was at the Kirkley Cliff Putting Green!




It was only looking through the Ham & Egger Files archives that I remembered we had visited this course, perhaps it was forgetten - along with the other memories of 'courses not played on that roadtrip'!

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Played #62 Southsea - Putting Green

While in Southsea, Hampshire on the 25th July 2008 we also played the Mini Golf Putting Course (#62 on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour).



While playing, the match was interrupted by a display by the Red Arrows!

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Played #61 Southsea - Crazy Golf

On the 25th July 2008 we visited and played course number 61 on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - the 18-hole Crazy Golf course on Southsea Common.










Southsea was also the location for the very first course visit on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, way back on the 30th September 2006!

We've also played Minigolf in quite a few places with the word 'South' in them!
