Cromer Putting

The 405th course played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was at Cromer Putting.

Emily had visited the course on the 13th July to make it number 689 on our tour, but had waited until my arrival on the 14th to give it a play.

Emily, Jo and me ready to tee-off at Cromer Putting

It's brilliant fun, with fantastic views. It's also one of the longest Putting courses we've ever played and is certainly a unique layout.

The people at the 18-hole course were very friendly and the lady showed me an old postcard showing the course in the 1930's - it was instantly recognisable. A round on the course costs £2.50 for adults and is a must play course if you're in the area.



In our match-up Emily and I drew on 50 apiece. Jo was third.



Cromer Putting has a sister Pitch & Putt course at The Meadow in the town centre. That looks like a very BIG miniature golf course!

Monorail, Monorail, Monorail

Riding the rail at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach.

The home straight of the monorail at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach

On our recent trip to Great Yarmouth I had a very pleasure surprise and a real treat as I got to ride a monorail!



I'm a big fan of monorails and the one at the Pleasure Beach in Great Yarmouth is one of the few examples still operating in the UK.

At the Mono thingy

The pair of us on the monorail

The Pleasure Beach monorail crosses over the roller coaster track

And actually cuts through the middle of it

Into some sort of monorail wash!

 

The Pleasure Beach Monorail gets the thumbs up from me

I've got great memories of riding the monorail at Butlin's Minehead back in the 1980's and 90's. We also played the Pirate Flyer Laser Shooting Monorail ride at Coral Island in Blackpool a few years ago.

Miniature Golfing in Cromer, Norfolk - Pitch & Putt and Putting

Emily has visited the 689th and 690th courses on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - the Putting Green on the cliffs and Pitch & Putt at The Meadow in Cromer, Norfolk!

BIG Golf minigolf is open every day. Just not in the evening

A look at the courses in Cromer

  

The rules

We do like a BIG sign for minigolf of any type

Unfortunately the Pitch & Putt course wasn't open at the time of her evening visit.

The course is open during the week too (see the blackboard on the first photo) but opens at 11am at weekends

The Putting Green however was open on Emily's visit. But she saved her game for when she could face me - or so she says. I'll wager she mapped out some sneaky ace lines on her first viewing of the links putting course.

A lovely day in Cromer

A nice selection of putters

Always nice to see a Putting Green sign - especially when it says 'OPEN' too!

A lovely bit of signage

Another view of the course

  

Emily tells me she had a nice welcome from the man at the course

Crazy Golf on Grass in Cromer, Norfolk

Emily has visited the 687th course on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - a Crazy Golf on Grass Putting Green in Cromer, Norfolk!

The Crazy Golf Putting Green in Cromer

The layout has a number of fibreglass Crazy Golf obstacles arranged on the grass Putting surface. It's not often you see a course designed like that!

Unfortunately it wasn't open at the time of her visit.

Adventure Island Mini Golf in Southend on Sea

A revisit to Adventure Island Mini Golf in Southend on Sea.

On Saturday 25th June we swung by Adventure Island Mini Golf in Southend. It's had a few updates since we first played the Aztec and Inca courses there. Not least the addition of dinosaurs!

The courses were actually the very first Emily and I ever played on together! That was way back in 2003.

No Tee Party Crazy Golf for me at The Club House in Manchester

A visit to the Tee Party Crazy Golf at The Club House in Manchester.

I was recently in Manchester and headed along to the Spinningfields area of the city to check out the minigolf course that had been set up there.

Unfortunately the course had closed the day before so I couldn't play it.

Luckily the holes were still there so I had an interesting evening wander hunting out each of the holes that were spread out around the shopping and dining area.

The course became the 684th visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

Luckily earlier this year the team at the course had sent through some of the scorecards from the course to enter the archives of the Crazy Golf Museum.

Trade On Tap Hole-in-One challenge at CIH Housing 2016 Exhibition

Trade On Tap (Plumb Center and Parts Center) Hole-in-One challenge at CIH Housing 2016 Exhibition.

The Plumb Center and Parts Center stand was a Mini Golf hole!

I was recently at the CIH Housing Exhibition in Manchester and wouldn't you know it - there was a Mini Golf hole there!

Needless to say - I nailed my first shot

And won all this merch!

One of these is headed to Martin Vallance's MASSIVE collection of logo golf balls

Putting courses and obstacles are a popular gimmick at trade shows and exhibitions. Way back in May 2007 I played an UrbanCrazy minigolf hole at the International Direct Marketing Fair at Earl's Court.
