Minigolf Course Visit No. 110 - Tudor Rose Inn, Fordingbridge

Following a tip-off from my Minigolf Doubles Team Mate, Kevin Moseley, we made a short detour on the journey back from Boscombe to the Tudor Rose Inn, Fordingbridge which is home to a good little 9-hole Miniature Golf course.





I scored a 21(+3) and Emily hit a 22(+4).

Minigolf Course Visit No. 109 - Southbourne / Fisherman's Walk

On Sunday 14th June 2009 we played quite possibly one of the worst Crazy Golf courses in the country - Southbourne / Fisherman's Walk, near Boscombe. The setting was good and the ideas were OK but the course played worse than many derelicts I have played.

The course also charged the strangest price for a round of Crazy Golf - £2.05 a round!?

Minigolf Course Visit No. 108 - Boscombe Chine Gardens

The 108th course visit on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was to the home of the 2009 BMGA British Doubles Championship - the 18-hole minigolf course at Boscombe Chine Gardens.

Minigolf Course Visit No. 107 - Lower Gardens, Bournemouth

The second (playable) course of the day on Saturday 13th June 2009 was the 18-hole Mini Golf course at Bournemouth's Lower Gardens.

A very busy and popular course.

It was also Emily's 100th minigolf course visit on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Sadly we didn't have a balloon. However, Emily did beat me by one shot with a magnificent hole-in-one on the 18th to win 39(+3) to 40(+4).

Yet another Minigolf course bites the dust.









Such a waste.

Minigolf Course Visit No. 106 - Sandbanks

Prior to the practice rounds of the BMGA British Doubles Championship at Boscombe's Chine Gardens Minigolf course we stopped off at the 'sister' Crazy Golf course at Sandbanks, Poole for a quick round on the 18-hole Crazy Golf course. The course became the 106th visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.









A great course with some tricky obstacles and it will be hosting the 2009 BMGA British Club Championships in October, where I will be helping to defend the title the Midlands Minigolf Club won in Stratford upon Avon last year.

There is no Crazy Golf course in Seaton Carew

There used to be.

Minigolf Course Visits No. 104 & 105 - Ripon, Spa Gardens

On Sunday 7th June 2009 we visited Minigolf courses 104 & 105 on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Both were located at the Spa Gardens in Ripon, North Yorkshire.


Course #104 was the 9-hole Crazy Golf on which holes 2, 3 and 4 were unplayable* due to severe flooding.







* I did attempt to play the 4th hole - see the video below



Course #105 was the 18-hole Putting Course next to the Crazy Golf and play was included in the £2.00 fee for the Crazy Golf. The Putting Green was much more playable than the Crazy Golf - in fact both Emily and I Aced hole 3, and I also got a hole-in-one on the 5th.
