Listen again to my Minigolf 'Show & Tell' on BBC Three Counties Radio...

I was invited to appear on the "Show & Tell" section of Gaz Wesley's Saturday Morning Programme on BBC Three Counties Radio today, to talk about the subject of Minigolf & Crazy Golf!

You can listen again from 36 minutes, 50 seconds.

A special Minigolf Hole-in-One Challenge between me and Gaz follows at 46 minutes, 30 seconds - after Thelma Houston's song 'Don't Leave Me This Way'.

Hooks Island Crazy Adventure Golf in Mablethorpe

Next up in Mablethorpe on Thursday 19th May 2011 was the Hooks Island Crazy Golf course. The course was the 230th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The course had an obvious Pirate-theme, but the course itself had clearly originally been an Arnold Palmer Putting Course. The set-up was 13-holes (12, plus a 'Top-Hole') and in our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up...I defeated Emily 30-32.

The course was fun to play, with many additional obstacles added to the course, that made it very different to playing a standard Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course.

The strangest of all the obstacles on the course (and one of the oddest we've seen to date) was on the 12th and final 'regulation' hole - it was a giant cigar-smoking Pirate Skull!

The fibreglass model was tricky to play too, as Emily found out on her tee-shot! You can play 'Spot the Ball' on the photo below.

The course had a Windmill, and a bit of a Pirate-theme going on.
