So now I had set a goal for the year I started planning how I could achieve it..one problem though. The season had now ended and the weather closed in for the winter. This meant that most crazy golf courses had now closed and wouldn't be re-opening till the Easter holidays - a major problem. So I needed some help. I found the miniaturegolfer.com forum and posted a few messages introducing myself and trying to gain any information I could about open courses and practice over the off-season, with little hope of any positive response.
What a friendly bunch the forumites were! Not only was I informed that the Hastings seafront courses were open over the winter but also I had some offers of some practice on them - result! Through the forum I was also directed to contact Sean Homer at the Kent Minigolf Club about becoming a member, seeing as I was in Canterbury.
I also received some advice with equipment - what I'll need and where to buy from. I decided to order a specialist 'Ryner' minigolf putter and a starter set of balls from a Swedish firm called Nifo. A nice 'gift to self' in time for Christmas!
