Southsea Pirate Masters 2010 - Irregular Mini Golf Tour Competition and Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Re-visit

On the 29th December 2010 we were planning on contesting the Southsea Pirate Masters at the Victory and Warrior Trail Courses at the Clarence Pier Treasure Island Adventure Golf as part of the Irregular Mini Golf Tour season.

However, the course was closed.



The Irregular Mini Golf Tour Doubles Tournament between the Portsmouth & Southsea Crazy Golf (Gold) Club and the Luton Wanderers Minigolf Club was decided by a coin-toss instead!



A singles Irregular Mini Golf Tour event still took place, with the four players heading into the Clarence Pier Amusement Arcade for a game of X-Putt!

Emily 'Coach' Gottfried won, with Christopher 'One BMGA Tour Appearance' Gottfried runner-up, and Dave 'Ronchen Hockey' Ronchetti third. 'Squire' Richard Gottfried was 4th!


The Treasure Island course was the first we played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, back on the 30th September 2006.

Q-Golf at The O2 - Minigolf course played #210 on The Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

On the 30th December 2010 we visited and played the final minigolf course of 2010 with a trip to The O2 for a play of the Q-Golf Minigolf Course.

The course is a temporary attraction and has been in place since the 7th December 2010 and will be playable until the 30th January 2011.

When we played the 'Q-Golf' we played with standard Golf Putters and Balls, although according to the website the concept is a mix of Minigolf and Pool!?

The 9-hole set-up was fun to play and the theming of the obstacles was very good.

In October and December 2009 we played the London mini-golf course(s) at Devonshire Square in London:
155 London (Devonshire Square) - Minigolf
155b London (Devonshire Square) - Temporarily Christmas-Themed Minigolf

In 2010 we've played a total of 52 Minigolf, Crazy Golf, Adventure Golf and Putting courses as part of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've also played a number of courses on 're-visits', and visited a further 44 courses that we couldn't play for a variety of reasons!
