Jaws the Shark

Watching Jaws on the big screen.

It was brilliant watching Jaws at the cinema this evening.

We were lucky that our local Super Cinema and Variety Theatre, The Plaza in Stockport held a special screening of the classic.

I revisited and replayed the excellent Prestatyn Crazy Golf in Prestatyn, North Wales on National Miniature Golf Day in May.

I managed to capture this shot of the superb course and its classic crazy golf colours during a gap in players on the course during a busy and very warm summer afternoon

The course was originally the 147th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2009.

As one of our local seaside towns we used to head to Prestatyn a few times a year. We went there in December 2021 during the pandemic and before that the last visit was in June 2019! Where's the time gone since then!

The Prestatyn Crazy Golf is one of our favourite courses and is an excellent Arnold Palmer Putting Course.

I very much enjoyed my two rounds on the 18-hole layout and scored a 40 (+4) on each round. Not too bad considering how rusty my putting is!
