Minigolf Course Number 72 - Dorridge

Playing the Minigolf course at Dorridge's Four Ashes Golf Centre.

The 12-hole Minigolf course at the Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge

The 72nd Minigolf course played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the 12-hole Minigolf course at the Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge on the 1st September 2008.

Despite it being a very rainy day the course played well and was quite a challenge. My scores were:
- Round 1 - 31
- Round 2 - 30

3rd of 9 at the II'nd

The Ham & Eggers Sports and Social Club could only manage 'Bronze' position in the George II pub quiz this week.

But, two wins out of three appearances in four weeks is not too bad!
