Pitch & Putt course at the On The Water Cafe in Southampton

A visit to the Weston Shore Pitch & Putt course at the On The Water Cafe in Southampton.



On our way from Netley to Southampton we drove through Weston Shore and were surprised to see a sign for a Pitch & Putt course on Weston Parade. We had to stop for a look.



The Pitch & Putt course can be found at the On The Water Cafe.



It looked like a nice layout, but sadly we didn't have time for a round on this trip.


The Weston Shore Pitch & Putt course at the On The Water Cafe in Southampton became the 880th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The Blackpool Pleasure Beach Adventure Golf course

A revisit to the Adventure Golf course at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.


Adventure Golf at Blackpool Pleasure Beach

On Monday 20th May I was in Blackpool and swung by the Adventure Golf course at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

Going to the Blackpool Pleasure Beach Adventure Golf course always bring a smile to my face, as it was the scene of my victory in the Blackpool Pleasure Beach Open tournament in 2009.

As it was just before the season got underway the course wasn't open.

We first visited the course in 2008 when we helped to launch the course and competed in the inaugural Blackpool Pleasure Beach Open tournament. The course was number 44 on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We really enjoyed playing the 18-hole Adventure Golf layout. There were plenty of challenging holes and the layout looked nice and played well.

The course has a par of 49 and in our minigolf match-up at Tidal Bay Crazy Adventure Golf Emily won with a score of 48 to my 53.

It was the first time we'd seen this particular obstacle on a course - it made for a nice hole-in-one, if you could hit a straight tee-shot!

We'd first heard about the Tidal Bay course from our friends and fellow minigolf explorers Matt and Helen Dodd as it's one of their local courses.

The Tidal Bay Crazy Adventure Golf course was the 515th we've played and the 883rd visited overall. It was the 845th course we've visited in the British Isles.

How many turtles can you spot?

It also became the 900th visited overall - including courses visited by Christopher Gottfried's branch of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - since our aventures began down in Southsea, Hampshire in September 2006.

Christopher has visited 26 courses on their own bit of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Emily and I have also visited eight of those courses, but 18 of the courses are from their travels to other courses in the UK, Turkey, Majorca, Italy, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, France and Indonesia!

The combined total of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour is now at a mammoth 905 courses visited!
