Mini Golf Scorecard and Loyalty Apps
Information about Mini Golf scorecard and loyalty apps.
A look at minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf scorecard and loyalty apps.
We've used several apps to keep the score in our games on our travels to 1,117 courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
We've seen several courses have introduced a mobile app to compliment or replace the traditional paper scorecard. Some of these apps are really good and help to enhance the experience.
We're still fans of pencil and paper to score our rounds and have amassed a large collection of scorecards from our travels over the last 20 years. That said, when we find an app that works well we're more than happy to download and use it. We've found the best ones are at courses that have both traditional and digital options for marking your scores as it keeps everyone happy.
The minigolf apps we've found offer a range of scoring functions, loyalty & reward schemes, games, reviews, contests, information and tips.
Links to minigolf apps.

Scotland in Manchester
Spotting an area of Manchester called Scotland.
While having a wander in Manchester I spotted a sign pointing to Scotland - so naturally I had to follow it.
It didn't take me long to find Scotland.
It's a small area off Red Bank in Cheetham Hill.
On our travels we've found 'A.N. Other' versions of a number of towns / islands / states / countries in the UK! These include the Isle of Wight and Ireland (both in Bedfordshire), Egypt (in Buckinghamshire), Oxford (in Northumberland), New England (in Essex), Canada (in the New Forest) and a pair of Lutons (in Kent and Devon).
