Championship Miniature Golf at Kelsey Park in Beckenham

A look back at our visit to the Kelsey Park minigolf course in Beckenham, Kent.

We visited the Championship Miniature Golf course at Kelsey Park in Beckenham back in March 2013.

The 18-hole layout is one of the few Eternit-type Miniature Golf courses more commonly found in Continental Europe.

The course has had a number of modifications made to it. For a start it's not normally covered in felt. And the pyramid obstacles usually appear on hole (lane) 1

The Miniature Golf course at Kelsey Park in Beckenham was the 525th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

What a difference a year makes

A look back at our minigolfing visits to Leicester in 2019.

We competed in the Caddyshackers Open minigolf tournament at Caddyshackers Crazy Golf in Leicester last year.

We were joined in the team event by our friends and often minigolf rivals Brad 'The Fist' Shepherd and Jam 'Jamdre the Giant' Trubridge.

The Before Times!

Having qualified for the grand final we returned a week later.

Natural social distancing before social distancing was a thing

The Caddyshackers Crazy Golf course was the 903rd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

While in the city we also swung by the new Treetop Adventure Golf venue at the Highcross Shopping Centre.

Emily and I also returned to Leicester as a stop-off en route to East Anglia in September.

It looks highly unlikely that we'll be travelling anywhere this year.

2020 has pretty much gone down the pan

It'll be nice to revisit Leicester again in the future when it's safe to do so.

We've also been to minigolf courses at Blaby Golf Centre and Charnwood Golf Complex in Leicestershire.

Mini Golf Toilets

A look at the ablutions obstacles we've seen on our Crazy Golf travels.

We've seen and played a few toilet obstacles on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

I don't fancy fishing my ball out of that hole!

Social distancing at Tee-Rex Adventure Golf at Cardiff Golf Centre

The Tee-Rex Adventure Golf course at Cardiff Golf Centre in Wales has reopened with social distancing measures in place.

Many thanks to my friend, minigolf rival and local Martyn Williams of the Welsh Minigolf Club for sending me these snaps from the course.

Playing the course

We played the 18-hole dinosaur-themed Tee-Rex Adventure Golf course last August. How times change.

It was the 916th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

On that visit we enjoyed a round with Martyn and our old friends and minigolf rivals Cindy and Jas Kukielka.
