Southsea Common - Minigolf course re-visits

Also on the 29th December we re-visited the Southsea Common Crazy Golf and Putting Courses. We had originally visited them in July 2008.

Minigolf course on Southsea Pier - unplayed on The Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

When we reached a very foggy Southsea we headed to Southsea Pier, as my brother (Christopher 'One BMGA Tour Appearance' Gottfried) had informed us back in the summer that there was a Crazy Golf course set-up there.



However it is unplayable as there is nowhere to hire clubs and balls from!?

No Crazy Golf at Eastrop Park in Basingstoke

On our way to Portsmouth and Southsea on the 29th December 2010 we stopped off in Basingstoke as we had seen on the MiniatureGolfer.com Course List that Eastrop Park in the town was home to a Crazy Golf course.

The sign at the park looked promising, as the Crazy Golf was listed (although it did state it was 'Seasonal').

Unfortunately the course itself has been removed, and replaced by a new Adventure Playground (that was not yet totally finished). It looks like we missed out on seeing the Crazy Golf by a matter of months.

Ham & Egger Irregular Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Roadtrip to Basingstoke, Portsmouth & Southsea

Yesterday we headed to the coast to re-visit Portsmouth & Southsea and were hoping to compete in the Southsea Pirate Masters Adventure Golf Competition.

Unfortunately the course was closed.

We did however manage to get some great snaps and videos, and we found an unplayable Minigolf course on a foggy pier! Oddly the Irregular Mini Golf Tour's Southsea Pirate Masters event DID go ahead, although in a rather different format than expected!?

We also found that the Crazy Golf course in Eastrop Park in Basingstoke is no longer there.
