The crazy golf however, was completely different. This was fun packed and full of excitement, as can be seen by the photos! The crazy golf here comprises of 2 different courses, which run around a man-made paper mache ‘mountain’ (in a very lose sense of the word mountain!). It is actually much, much better than it sounds. There are a number of waterfalls and the whole thing is surrounded by a moat of water, (another crazy golf hazard!).

Dave in his eagerness to do well managed to lose 2 balls, one in the water whilst attempting a particularly difficult shot involving a chipping action over a small stream. This was later discovered as completely unnecessary when Shane pointed out (after the ball had disappeared) that there was actually a bridge that took the ball under the stream! This was more practical yes, but nowhere near so much fun as a projectile green golf ball!! The 2nd loss of the day was, in Dave’s own words…‘I’ve lost my ball in the bush’. The view of him trying to retrieve his ball was priceless. All that could be seen was some legs and a backside (complete with builders cleavage!) and the bush swaying as he managed to force himself further and further inside. Aidy and Karen joined the search but to no avail and a second trip to the kiosk to ask for another green ball was necessary!

Other than the antics of Dave and the normal comedy values of a group playing crazy golf nothing very interesting happened…other than the fact that both Helen and Karen got a hole in one each!! Notice it was the 2 females that managed this, the male population were more interested in more primitive and juvenile activities…showing off…oh, and friendly rivalry!!

The overall result and scores in reverse order Dave (80), Aidy (76), Karen (73), Helen (71) and show off himself (Shane with 56)! The par for the whole course was 54 so all in all we all did pretty good to say none of us are budding Tiger Woods’.

With the day over, history learnt, pancakes eaten (with the wind catching Helen’s and almost catapulting it across the courtyard!), coffee consumed (with the exception of Dave. He left his sitting in front of him as there was a residue left on the rim from the last female who had drunk from it and let’s just say that the colour wasn’t really Dave! We did tell him to take it back but he said he didn’t want to make a fuss, so a new tact was taken of Shane telling him to ‘Imagine it’s a really fit blonde then it’ll be OK!), and golf played, it was time to head back, drop the car off and get some well deserved food and beverage!
