Minigolf in The World Games - Karlsruhe 2029

After 40 Years Minigolf Returns to The World Games.

The World Minigolf Sport Federation today announced that minigolf has been selected as one of the sports in The World Games 2029 in Karlsruhe, Germany.

The World Games was first held in the United States in 1981 and every four years has been a showcase for sports and disciplines that are not part of the Olympic Games.

Karlsruhe will be the the first city to host the World Games a second time after hosting in 1989, which also was the year minigolf was last included in the sports played.

The WMF will run the minigolf event alongside Deutscher Minigolfsport Verband (DMV).

About the World Minigolf Sport Federation.

The WMF is the umbrella organisation of Minigolf sports associations worldwide and continental associations in Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania.

The World Minigolf Sport Federation (WMF) is a member of GAISF (Global Association of International Sports Federations), AIMS (Alliance of Independent Recognised Members of Sport) and TAFISA (The Association For International Sport for All).

The WMF is developing and growing as a competitive sport, while also helping to promote the benefits of the game as a fun and accessible leisure activity.

The WMF organises World Championships, which are played every two years and Youth World/Open European Championships, which are each played every year.

The British Minigolf Association and the WMF.

The British Minigolf Association (BMGA) is the UK's member association of the WMF and organises a calendar of tournaments each season. These include national, club, local and open events.

The BMGA also selects players to compete in international championships as part of the Great Britain team.

Emily and I competed on the BMGA Tour from 2007 to 2015, and were members of the Great Britain team that competed in the 2011 Nations Cup in Finland and the 2013 Nations Cup in Sweden.

We also competed in the WMF World Adventure Golf Masters tournaments in Hastings in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Emily is a two-time WMF World Adventure Golf Masters Women's Champion, winning the title in 2011 and 2013.

I led on marketing and media activity for the BMGA between 2008 and 2013, and I was a member of the WMF's Marketing and Media Committee between 2008 and 2014 where I worked closely with colleagues around the world, as well as the wider board, member associations and continental federations.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour is 20 years old this month

We're celebrating two decades of our crazy minigolfing adventures.

How it started.

We played the Victory Trail course at Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea, Hampshire, England on Saturday 30th September 2006.

And at the end of our 9-hole round I won a free game by firing the cannon on the lucky last hole!

Travelling the UK (and the world) playing minigolf.

We've now been to 1,131 courses overall in the last 20 years, with 1,062 of those locations in the British Isles.

When we originally set off to visit as many courses as possible the target list was 600 in the British Isles. And 20 years later, we have around 50 of those original courses to visit.

As well as playing minigolf in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Jersey and the Isle of Man we’ve travelled to minigolf courses in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Finland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, Spain (including Lanzarote & Tenerife in the Canary Islands, and Majorca in the Balearic Islands), Sweden and the USA.

From 600 courses in the UK to more than 1,500.

When our crazy golfing travels began in 2006 there were around 600 miniature golf courses in the UK and wider British Isles.

There are now more than 1,500 - and there are lots of new places to play the game opening all the time.

Minigolf record makers.

Our travels have been recognised by the Guinness World Records, and I'm a record holder for "Most miniature golf courses visited" (902 at the time of going to press). Check out the Guinness World Records 2024 book to see a lot more minigolf records too!
