Replay of Minigolf Course #37 - Arnold Palmer 'North' Course at Cliftonville's Little Oasis Crazy Golf

On Saturday 9th April 2011 we replayed the 18-hole Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course at Cliftonville's 'Little Oasis'.

We originally played the course on the 15th September 2007 when it became the 37th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.



In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour match, Emily and I were tied going into the final hole, the conclusion to the game can be seen on the following videos!

Minigolf course played #215 - Arnold Palmer 'South' Course at the Little Oasis Crazy Golf in Cliftonville, Margate

After 3 years, 6 months and 28 days since our first attempt to play the 'South' Arnold Palmer Course at the Little Oasis Crazy Golf in Cliftonville, Margate we finally managed to play the 18-hole minigolf on Saturday 9th April 2011!

After 1305 days the wait was finally over.

Blog posts of our attempts to play the 'South' course:
- Not Course Number 74
- Not Minigolf Course 74 Or 79!
- Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Closed course in Cliftonville (Margate)
- Still not played - Cliftonville Crazy Golf!

While we were there we also made good use of the half-price offer to play the other course on the same day, so we had a replay of Crazy Golf course number 37 on our tour!

When is a Minigolf Course not a Minigolf Course...(an update)

The Sport Finland Miniature Golf Putting Contest was the latest 'Minigolf Course' I have played that is not exactly a 'full course' visited and played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Others played can be found here.

Miniature Golf Putting for a trip to Finland

Last week I attempted to win a trip to Finland at the Sport Finland stand at SportAccord.

You had to score holes-in-one at three Finish Towns/Cities - Tampere, Lahti and Helsinki. I managed to 'Ace' Tampere and Lahti, but not Helsinki.

In nine attempts I scored two holes-in-one! A poor showing indeed!

In 2008 I played for the Great Britain Minigolf Team at the WMF Nations Cup in Tampere, Finland. A great country and a very nice city to visit.

Latest Laser Tag Rankings - Update after Whitstable 'Solo Stun' Battle!

Here is the update to the Laser Tag Rankings (since January 2011 to 10th April 2011):

In the Ongoing Laser Tag War that rages between the forces of the REDS, BLUES, GREENS, and YELLOWS we've all taken part in Laser Battles in 'laser-war-torn' places including Birmingham, Hemel Hempstead, Bristol, London, Peterborough, Crawley, New Brighton, Cannock and Whitstable.

The Latest Laser Tag Battle - Lazer Rush in Whitstable

The Laser Tag War continues to rage between the forces of the REDS, BLUES, GREENS, and YELLOWS.

The latest battle took place at the Lazer Rush centre in Whitstable, Kent, on Sunday 10th April, with me, Emily and Oliver Florence fighting in a 'Solo Stun' game amongst eleven players in the two-level arena.


In the all-against-all battle I was runner-up to an eleven-year-old kid, Emily was 3rd, and Ollie was 4th. On a Grand National weekend we would have been a good punt with an each-way bet!

Of our group of 3 'Rebels', Ollie had the best Accuracy Rating with 57%, Emily had 51% and with my scattergun/machinegun approach (and 478 shots fired!) I was ranked last on Accuracy with 21%



For the Record, I was a (quite ORANGEY) RED, while Ollie and Emily wore GREEN.

Our Laser Tag Battles have now taken place 'laser-war-torn' places including Birmingham, Hemel Hempstead, Bristol, London, Peterborough, Crawley, New Brighton, Cannock and Whitstable.
