Hither Green, London
After an average performance at the Masters, a gathering was arranged in Hither Green to play the Spring Classic 2010.
I was very relaxed just looking for an enjoyable day out and not trying to play for the result.
The competition was played over two rounds and saw 17 players take part. The Force won with scores of 37(+1) and 32(-4) for a total of 69(-3)!
My round of 32 was also a new course record and won me a bottle of champagne from course owner Nick Sandqvist as the first player to shoot a sub-36(par) score since the course opened in January 2010.
I was pleased with the new record but even more pleased with the consistent sub-40 scores on one of the most challenging miniature golf systems in the world. The practice on this type of course at Hither Green will help improve my all-round game, aiming to compete for major UK titles and a place in the British Team for the European Championships this August in Italy.
I would encourage all players to make use of this excellent new indoor facility as it can only assist in raising the standard of UK minigolf.
The next ranking tournaments on the BMGA Tour are the Midlands Open and BMGA British Doubles Championships in Stratford upon Avon in April, with the BMGA Scottish Open in Aberdeen in May.
