The first course we played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in Wales was at Barry Island's Smuggler's Cove Adventure Golf on the 14th August.
A great 12-hole course, unfortunately the old Crazy Golf course is no longer there.
I used to go to Barry Island when the holiday camp was there and remember there used to be an indoor crazy golf course in the games area next to the ping pong tables. Sadly the camp was demolished and new houses were built on most of the old site.

Minigolf Course Visits 118, 119 & 120 - Oxford Parks
On the journey to Wales for the epic leg of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour we stopped off to play the three Swedish Felt B Run courses in Oxford's Parks on the 13th August.
On our previous visit to Oxford in December the courses were all closed. However, this time they were all open.
Course visit #118 was to Bury Knowle Park in Headington.
Course visit #119 was to Florence Park in Cowley.
Course visit #120 was to Cutteslowe and Sunnymead Park.
Over the three rounds and 27-holes I hit a total of 99(+42) to take the Oxford title, while Emily scored 103(+49).

Crazy Golf (2) = Golff Giamocs
Minigolf = Minigolff
Mini Golf = Golff Bach
Miniature Golf = Maes Golff
Putting Green = Llain Bytio
Golf = Golff
Course = Cwrs

During the Welsh Leg of our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Emily and I competed in a 31-round, 357-hole Minigolf Tournament which I won by 41 shots. However, Emily won the Aces competition with 29 holes-in-one over the tournament.

One & Other in Trafalgar Square
After my application back in April to be a part of Anthony Gormley's Living Monument in Trafalgar Square we went to visit the plinth while in London yesterday.
It was great watching the two particpants between 3 and 5pm. They were John L and Matt S. You can view their 'live' feed videos by clicking on the links in their names above.
Matt was throwing out parachute men toys to the crowd and I caught the first successful 'drop'!
So far 31,090 people, and me, have applied for one of the 2,400 places available. I haven't been selected yet, but my name will remain in the draw for places in September and October.

Tea Green Crazy Golf Course Finished, plus 'Then' & 'Now'
The Crazy Golf course at Tea Green Golf near Luton has now had new felt laid on each of its 9-holes.
Yesterday we visited for a few rounds and a game or two with the staff.
The old course record of 15(-3) still stands. The best score yesterday was 16(-2) over 9-holes. Manager Lester Coles however hit a new 18-hole course record with a 33(-3) in a match against me and Scott (below).
You can see some older photos of the course here.

Contributing to the Oxford English Dictionary
Following my invention of a completely new word during my appearance on Quiz Show Eggheads I would like to suggest the word ‘trompone’ as a new entry to the Oxford English Dictionary.
My suggested meanings for the word are:
1. An incorrect version of the Italian word for ‘Trouser leg’
2. A new type of Pizza
3. An answer given in resignation in the faint hope it may be the correct answer in a TV Quiz Show
If you agree with my idea please leave your comments.
You can contribute to the OED here.
Below, my team mates react to my answer.

Somewhere in Acton - the night before Eggheads
The Nutters with Putters spent the night before filming our Eggheads episode (Series 10, #49) in a hotel somewhere in Acton.
After dinner we had an inter-team quiz with Kevin Botto playing Dermot.
Below is the team's game plan.
It sort of worked, with each individual round going to sudden-death.

Of course the answer was Calzone - I'll never get that question wrong in a pub quiz now.
