At Abingdon's Crazy Golf course |
Last weekend I was back in my home town of Abingdon-on-Thames for the Bun Throwing tradition held to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday. While in town Emily and I made our last ever visit to play the Crazy Golf course in the Abbey Meadows.
Back in Abingdon for one final game |
The course has been in the park since the 1950's, but at the end of the 2016 summer season it will be removed as part of a programme to upgrade and improve the area. It's a real shame the minigolf course won't be receiving a spruce up as part of it.

I last visited the course in December 2014 and the last time I'd had a game there was in June 2012.
The 4th hole |
In August 2007 the course became the 31st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

I overcooked my tee-shot on hole 4 and ended up in a big ditch |

In our match-up on the course I managed to get the win over Emily with a score of 25 to 29. Not bad considering how tricky the playing surface is!
