The team at Splash Point Mini Golf in Worthing, West Sussex are holding their Open tournament in July. The three-round strokeplay contest will tee-off at 5pm on Saturday 30th July. Entry is £20 for adults and £10 for juniors, with competitors benefiting from free practice all day as part of the entry fee.
In 2010 the Splash Point Mini Golf course became the 181st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've been back a number of times since then and it's well worth a visit.

Putting Green in Arundel, West Sussex
My friend, minigolf rival and co-owner of Splash Point Mini Golf Anthony 'His Excellency' Pope recently sent me some photos of a very nice looking Putting Course in Arundel, West Sussex.
The grass miniature golf course on Mill Road looks like a cracker. I'm looking forward to a game there in the future.

Crazy Golf at Mill Hill Park in London
Back in 2012 I visited the 510th course on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour at Mill Hill Park in London. I'd been tipped off about its existence by fellow minigolfer Jon 'The Stance' Angel.
Last weekend our fellow minigolfing adventurers Matt and Helen Dodd were scouting out the north London region for places to play the game and sent through the snaps below. Not a lot has changed by the look of things!

Plonk Golf at the Duke of Edinburgh pub in Brixton
Playing the new Plonk Golf minigolf course at the Duke of Edinburgh pub in Brixton.
On Friday 26th February we visited the 676th course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we headed to the Plonk Golf course that is set-up in a marquee in the giant beer garden of the Duke of Edinburgh pub in Brixton, London.
The course was the 392nd played on our tour since September 2006.
We were joined on this leg of the tour by Swedish minigolf legend Hans Olofsson - a winner of multiple tournaments around the world - and miniature golf professional Andreas Sollman who were on a short trip to the UK.
In our match-up Emily won with a round of 20, including one ace. I was runner-up with a round of 21, aceing the first hole. Hans was the bronze medallist shooting a 23, with Andreas taking home the wooden spoon after scoring a 29.
There is certainly talk of a rematch!
It's always great to see new minigolf courses opening in London. Until fairly recently there was a real dearth of places to play Crazy Golf in the capital, but this is certainly changing for the better.
The Plonk Golf course costs £7.50 a round for 9-holes, and while a bit on the pricey side, it was very good fun. In a relatively small space the Plonk Golf team have put together a great layout. Many of the holes had good hole-in-one opportunities and there were a few very tricky holes too.
Playing Crazy Golf in a pub is also a nice novelty. We've played a few Minigolf and Crazy Golf courses in Pub Beer Gardens over the years. In fact Plonk Golf are opening more pub courses - with set-ups at The Four Thieves pub in Clapham and The Peoples Park Tavern in Hackney.

Hole 8 looked like a great hole-in-one opportunity. It'll need a bit more practice to make the shot though |

The 6th hole has a classic Plonk Golf volcano on it. It's a very tall minigolf volcano indeed! |

The course is well made and sturdy. It looks good too |

In the Nations Rankings Great Britain is ranked 13th of 30 countries, up from 16th place. Fourteen GB players (13 men and 1 woman) have contributed to the nations ranking between 2013 and 2015. Germany, Sweden and the Czech Republic lead the rankings.
Once again Emily and I are both in the General Class Rankings.
In the Women's World Ranking List Emily is the sole British female player and is in tied 98th place (105 players) alongside Erika Benka (HUN), Anja Derks (NED), Asta Korpi (FIN), Ana Lopes (POR), Tänia Monteiro (POR), Amara Silva (POR) and Nathamon Tayutivuthikul (THA).
In the Men's World Ranking List I am in tied 387th place (404 players) together with Mislav Bjazic (CRO), Miguel Angel Hernandez (ESP), J.

An update on Saltburn MiniGolf.
The new minigolf course in Saltburn-by-the-Sea is nearing completion and it looks great.
The marvellous new attraction on the Lower Promenade in Saltburn-by-the-Sea is a 10-hole course built by the minigolf marvels at UrbanCrazy.
We've played many many UrbanCrazy courses around the country and they're always very good fun and a nice test of putting skill.
Saltburn MiniGolf opens to the public on Saturday 19th March, with a Grand Launch on Saturday 26th March.
We can't wait to get along for a game.
Check out Saltburn MiniGolf on Facebook for more photos and a video showing how the course has developed in the last few months.

Hurrah for sensible price reductions
Spotting some gluten free bargains.
I've always had an eye for a bargain. This has been honed even more so in the eight years since I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease.
Shopping for gluten and wheat free food is a hassle at the best of times - not to mention the trouble with gluten free prescriptions - and one of my bugbears is the fact that most supermarkets reduce the price of their free from food incrementally, rather than sensibly! This means that the best you can often hope for is to pay about £1.50 for an item near its sell by / use by date, rather than £2 to £3. It's a rare thing indeed to find gluten and wheat free goodies for mere pence.
That was until I found this great haul in Morrisons this evening.
There were also some bagels and another loaf of artisan bread in the reduced section, but I'm not greedy so left them for some other poor Coeliac to pick up.

Crazy Golf in Swanpool Park, Falmouth, Cornwall
Playing the Crazy Golf course in Swanpool, Falmouth.
The 631st course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the Crazy Golf course at Swanpool Park in Swanpool, Falmouth, Cornwall.
The 18-hole Crazy Golf layout was the 32nd played on our tour of the South West of England and the 373rd played overall on our tour.
It's certainly a unique course. The colour of the concrete was very different to the norm. And the hole configurations weren't particularly normal. It was a real test and good fun too.
Its in an excellent location and we had brilliant weather on our visit.
In our match on the 18-hole course on the 7th June 2015 Emily scored 52 to take the win as I scored a 56.
The course is open all year round. For more information, opening times and prices visit the Swanpool Beach website.
