We did however make the most of our time at Chasewater Country Park as we spotted there was a heritage steam railway there too so stopped by to indulge in some train nerdery. Marvellous.
The 9-hole Crazy Golf course is of the Eternit Miniature Golf variety, although it has had some modifications from the norm. This was in the form of felt over the thin concrete playing surface as well as a selection of fibreglass obstacles, including a Humpty.
The Crazy Golf course at Beacon Park in Lichfield became the 775th course visited and 461st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
I'm always happy if there's a Humpty obstacle on a course
In our minigolf match-up I won with a score of 19 to Emily's 23.
It's a good little Crazy Golf layout and we had a fun round on it.

We enjoyed our visit to Beacon Park. The whole area looked nice and the facilities in the park were very good. The Crazy Golf course is next to Pitch & Putt, FootGolf and Disc Golf courses, as well as a Petanque terrain and the park cafe.
Disc Golf, Foot Golf and Pitch & Putt layouts can be seen beyond the fence
Judging by the piece of metal to the left it looks like there used to be a different obstacle on this hole
This was the first time we've seen this variant on the ramp obstacle. Normally the ball is trapped inside the box after putting as a way to collect the ball at the end of a round
The team at Globalls Crazy Golf in Brighton are putting together the finishing touches to their Halloween-themed minigolf layout.
The 12-hole glow-in-the-dark Crazy Golf course is normally full of dinosaurs, but between Friday the 13th and Halloween itself the indoor Crazy Golf course will be transformed into an incredibly popular creepshow!
There'll be Dracula, Frankenstein, Skeletons, Zombies and more at the Globalls Halloween event
Emily and I are really looking forward to visiting Jurassic Globalls - and the new 'Tropicana' course they are opening - on our next trip to Brighton. It's been a while since we were in the seaside resort.
Spotting a Crazy Cave Shooting Gallery at Playland Fun Park in Stourport on Severn.
I'm a big fan of the traditional seaside shooting shack and so I was pleased to find one I'd never seen before at Playland Fun Park in Stourport. We were in town to play the Crazy Golf courses and noticed the shooting gallery between the two kiosks. It was quite different to the classic 'Old Zeke' style we normally see on on our travels.

Bootleg Fred
It's not a true shooting shack unless it's got a lavvy to unlock!
For a landlocked town Stourport on Severn has a lot of amusements, minigolf courses and attractions! We're looking forward to another visit to the town.
Many thanks to our friend and minigolf rival (and sometimes team-mate) Kevin 'Max' Moseley for posting us a minigolf scorecard and pencil following his recent visit to Urban Putt in San Francisco, California.
It's always great to see and receive ephemera and collectibles from around the world. These are two fine additions to the Crazy Golf Museum's archives.
