When Mini Golf Gets Serious ….
The British Mini Golf Association ( http://www.minigolf.org.uk/cms/index.php ) is the UK’s governing body.
The World Crazy Golf Championships are split into 2 categories, Novice and Pro, with prize funds ranging from a few hundred pounds to several thousand
Hastings Adventure Golf hosted the 2019 flagship event in the Crazy Golf calendar. This year’s event took place on the 8th / 9th of June. The competition attracts players from across the globe and during its 17-year history, remarkably only 6 different players have lifted the coveted trophy
Situated on the seafront, the course features 18 holes of varying obstacles and hazards: a water wheel, windmill, obelisk, and lighthouse all provided excellent entertainment.
Over 100 competitors do battle each year over 6 qualifying rounds ( 4 on a Saturday and 2 on a Sunday). As a result, only the 18 lowest-scoring players are allowed to participate in the final round.
Thousands of spectators congregate on a Sunday afternoon to witness the spectacle. Prizes and trophies will be presented to the winning players usually by the mayor of Hastings
Simon Tompkins of Hastings Adventure Golf said: “We are thrilled to introduce the junior category to this year’s championships. The three separate competitive categories; professional, novice, and junior, help make the championships even more inclusive. The novice category was established two years to give non-professionals an event of their own. Now the addition of the junior category makes the Championships an open playing field for younger players too. So get the putters polished and start practicing!”
