Cornhole Golf - a cross-between cornhole and minigolf!

A look at the new game of Cornhole Golf.

I recently found out about a new sport - Cornhole Golf.

Cornhole Golf is a new twist on the games of cornhole and minigolf.

You can currently play Cornhole Golf at Mars-Bethel Golf in Mars, Pennsylvania and at Beaverfork Lake RV Resort in Conway, Arkansas in the USA.

Check out the Cornhole Golf website for more information.

It's always interesting to find out about new twists, takes and versions of minigolf. It'd be brilliant to have a game of Cornhole Golf on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in the future.

International Coeliac Awareness Day

Today is International Coeliac Awareness Day.

Find out more on the Coeliac UK website.

What is Coeliac Disease?

Coeliac Disease is a lifelong autoimmune condition, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. In Coeliac Disease the immune system mistakes substances found inside gluten as a threat to the body and attacks them. This can trigger a number of painful, horrible, stressful and uncomfortable symptoms.

In the UK it's estimated that 1 in 100 people have the condition.

Living a gluten free life

I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease 18 years ago. And so began my journey into the gluten free world.

Having suffered from a range of symptoms for around ten years I finally received a positive diagnosis of Coeliac Disease following some 'interesting' and in-depth tests and procedures in 2008. It came as a relief to finally have a name for the mysterious cause of my illnesses and ailments, but at the time I was only given a brief summary and told that I'd have to "cut down on bread and beer". It was only later when I met with a Gastroenterologist and a dietitian that I found out that the only treatment for people with Coeliac Disease is a strict, life-long gluten free diet.

While having a life-long condition such as Coeliac Disease can be a pain - and horrible if I 'get glutened' - having the disease has had some positives. I've met great people since my diagnosis and have made some brilliant friends who I've met through Coeliac groups. I've also blogged a lot about living with the condition and the great Free From food & drink I've found since 2008.

For more information on Coeliac Disease visit the NHS Choices and Coeliac UK websites.

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.

These are the adventure golf, crazy golf and minigolf apps available on Android, iPhone, or via a separate QR code, app, or weblink that we've found on our miniature golfing adventures:

Your view of minigolf apps...?

Do you know of any other minigolf apps, scorecards, games or scoring systems? What do you think of them? Do you use them when you visit a course? Do you have a favourite? Let us know in the comments below.

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).
