Pit Pat Golf at Thistles Shopping Centre in Stirling

There's a new Pit Pat Golf course at Thistles Shopping Centre in Stirling, Scotland.

Thistles Shopping Centre in Stirling is now home to a Pit Pat Golf course.

Pit Pat is similar to minigolf/crazy golf, but played on elevated tables with the ball 'putted' using cues.

Pit-Pat

I first saw the game of Pit-Pat (obstacle billiards) in Vienna, Austria back in 2010 - it's like minigolf but played with cues.

You can also find two permanent Pit-Pat courses outdoors at Watermouth Family Theme Park and Castle in Devon (where it is known as Crazy Snooker) and outdoors at Fairytale Farm in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire (where it is called Queen of Hearts Crazy Cues).

There were previously Pit-Pat courses outdoor at Western Putting on Banjo Road in Littlehampton, West Sussex (where it was called Pit-Pat Crazy Snooker) and indoors at The Floodgate in Digbeth, Birmingham (where it was called Pit-Pat Table Golf).

Guess the Crazy Golf course location...

Mini Golf Grass Putting at Knaresborough's Castle Yard

A look at the Mini Golf Grass Putting course at Knaresborough's Castle Yard.

Last week I asked the question "Where in the world was this grass putting course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?".

The answer was the Mini Golf Grass Putting course at Knaresborough Castle in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire.

The course was the first - and to date, only - one we've ever played that had a sallyport and secret tunnel running underneath it!

The tunnel was built in the late 13th or mid 14th century and was large enough for a small group of armed men to leave the castle secretly at night and launch an attack on any besieging troops.

The Grass Putting course at Knaresborough's Castle Yard became the 357th course played and 591st visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Happy 16th birthday to the Crazy Golf Museum

The Crazy Golf Museum is 16 years old today.

Many happy returns to the Crazy Golf Museum as it marks its 16th birthday today.

I set-up the museum with Crazy Golf legend, the late Tim 'Ace Man' Davies back on the 15th July 2010.

Since then the virtual online museum has continued to be filled to make it a treasure trove and archive for all things related to minigolf, crazy golf, adventure golf, miniature golf, Putt Putt, and putting.

It's certainly been a very interesting 16 years!

A BIG thank you to everyone who has shared their minigolfing memories, crazy golf items and adventure golf updates over the years. The Crazy Golf Museum is looking forward to continuing the promotion of the game for many more years to come.

Visit the Crazy Golf Museum's website and social media for information, photos, items, ephemera, stories, videos, postcards, games and more...

If you'd like to contribute any minigolf items, merchandise, course history, current developments or guest blog posts please do get in touch.
