A look at video shop-themed speakeasies in the UK.
The nostalgia for video shops and the culture they provided back in the day has been translated to some speakeasies, bars and other venues incorporating a video shop theme.
While there are some design standards for courses, most would be regarded as 'fantasy' courses where the end result is limited only by imagination, building regulations and budgets.
Here's a look at the common names for the game of putting:
Minigolf (also Mini Golf, Mini-Golf, Miniature Golf) – Minigolf is a catch-all name for the game and can be used to describe every type of course no matter its make-up or design.
Some Pitch & Putt and Par-3 Golf courses also describe themselves as Minigolf / Miniature Golf.
Adventure Golf – Adventure Golf is a relatively new name for the game and mostly describes a course with theming such as pirates, jungles, dinosaurs and space.
Crazy Golf – Crazy Golf is a name most commonly used in the UK. It is seldom, if ever, used overseas except in tourist spots popular with UK natives.
An equivalent name in the USA would be Goofy Golf.

Mini-putt – Mini-putt courses are similar in appearance to Putt-Putt courses however they have distinct standardised hole designs and are particular to Canada.
Pitch & Putt – Sometimes Pitch & Putt courses will use the name Miniature Golf or Minigolf.
Putt-Putt – Putt-Putt is a trademark and denotes specific patented types of miniature golf courses. Most courses can be found in the USA, with some still in operation in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Putt-Putt is sometimes incorrectly used as a catch-all / interchangeable name with Minigolf to describe a course or the game.
Putting – Grass Putting courses and Putting Greens are a type of minigolf and are often found at the seaside or in parks and gardens.

A look back at the Putter King miniature golf brand.
Kevin Dias - creator of the Putter King miniature golf brand - has recently been looking back on the concept and has published 'The Putter King Chronicles' on his website in five parts.
The Putter King Miniature Golf Scavenger Hunt.
One of the brand's marketing activities saw a worldwide Putter King Miniature Golf 'Scavenger Hunt' taking place during 2011. People were invited to track down and record items and achievements related to all forms of minigolf across 17 tasks.
The activities in the first Putter King Miniature Golf Scavenger Hunt had contestants design new minigolf holes and obstacles, play new courses, show off their minigolf ball collections, (re)learn Maths & Physics (in a fun way!) through the Putter King Education Programme, do arts & crafts, hunt for autographs, score holes-in-one, creating minigolf trick-shots and a whole lot more!
In total, there were 1,370 available points to collect. Allan Cox (AUS) won the competition with 960 total points. I finished in second place with 900 total points, and Pat Sheridan (USA) of The Putting Penguin website finished in 3rd place with 585 total points.
The whole Putter King experience was superb and brilliant fun. It's been nice reading about Kevin's journey with the business - and all the bumps, twists and turns in the story!
