Putting Edge portable minigolf

Playing the Putting Edge portable minigolf course at Prolific North Live 2017.

The team Putting Edge minigolf were exhibiting at Prolific North Live 2017 at EventCity in Manchester so I got to play minigolf while wearing both my @putting_gott and @marketing_gott hats!

The Putting Edge minigolf course gets the thumbs-up from me - even if David from Putting Edge had made the second hole very very tough indeed!

The tricky little 2-hole Putting Edge minigolf layout was the 722 visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 423rd played since September 2006.

I really liked the ramp and jump on the first hole - I shot a few aces on it

Admittedly I had a fair few goes on the course (probably enough to constitute a full round of 18-hole), but by the time I left I'd equaled the day's low score of 4, with an ace and a three. The long dog-leg second hole was nigh on impossible to get a hole-in-one on.

Check out the Putting Edge website for more details and do get in touch with David to find out how he can help make a difference to your event, function or exhibition space.

David and the team at Putting Edge can tailor the obstacles and branding on the course to suit your needs 

Check out the video of me scoring a hole-in-one on the first below.

Crazy Golf at The Alexandra Inn Penzance

Playing the beer garden Crazy Golf course at The Alexandra Inn Penzance, Cornwall.

On the 7th June 2015 we visited Penzance and found that The Alexandra Inn had a Crazy Golf course in its beer garden!

The very crazy and unique miniature golf course became the 34th visited on our roadtrip around the south west of England, the 374th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 633rd visited since September 2006.

In our minigolf match-up on the course I won with a score of 43 to Emily's 55.

A visit to East Didsbury railway station

Maximum Train Nerdery at East Didsbury railway station.

Since moving to the north of England we've been travelling to a lot of new places. This has given me the chance to see some new railway stations and a lot of different trains too.

Train nerd Richard Gottfried at East Didsbury railway station

My new favourite railway station is East Didsbury in Manchester. It's actually one of the closest to ours and we stopped by on Friday prior to going tenpin bowling over the road at Parrs Wood. In just ten minutes six trains passed through the station, although only one stopped. And that was en route to Llandudno!



Check out my YouTube Channel and the links below to see some of my other recent train nerdery captured on camera.

Spotted in Stockport - Only Fools and Hearses

I enjoy a good play on words and so had to get a snap of the Only Fools and Hearses hearse outside the Town Hall Tavern in Stockport yesterday.

Crazy Golf at Bitts Park in Carlisle

Playing the Crazy Golf course at Bitts Park in Carlisle.

On the 5th April 2012 we visited Carlisle and the Crazy Golf course at Bitts Park.

The Bitts Park course was one of 13 we played on a roadtrip that took us to 49 minigolf courses in England and Scotland.

At the 471st course on our tour

Tackling the Humpty obstacle

The Crazy Golf course was similar to the Eternite style, but each hole had a fibreglass obstacle on it, including one Humpty. The course was the 289th played and 471st visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Humpty!

However, only one of the holes was anything but a straight 'lane'. With the pyramid obstacle hole being a dogleg right.

Playing the only hole with any sort of variety

In our minigolf match-up Emily won with a score of 31 to 23.

Emily won our round on the faux-Eternit course

We found somewhere to have a nice sit down after our game too.

What a ludicrous bit of street furniture
