Launch of new modular Crazy Golf course!

Putterfingers announces today the release of their revolutionary new portable Crazy Golf (mini-golf) course.

With mini-golf already a huge sport on both the European and American continents, Putterfingers are now making it available to everyone in the UK, anywhere, both indoors and out.

Ideal as an extra income generator for Bouncy Castle companies, the new course can be broken down and transported very easily by a single operative. With numerous styles of obstacles and corporate branding opportunities available, there has already been a great deal of interest shown in the new course.

The course can be supplied in numerous sizes and with a variable number of holes. As each hole is modular in nature - being made up of interlocking astroturf tiles - the flexibility in course layout is significant.

There is an indoor version that is safe and very suitable for children and a fully installed, semi-permanent outdoor variant. With choices in length and shape there is no end to the different ways in which the course can be supplied.

Specialising in portable courses, Putterfingers believe the course will be very popular with Bouncy Castle companies, schools, event management companies and exhibition staging organisations.

The full 9-hole course can be laid out in about half an hour by a single operator and can be broken down in less than 20 minutes. With the opportunity to charge upwards of £3.50 per person per round, the income generating opportunities for existing event hire companies are easily recognised.

Mini Golf British Open, Margate, 13th & 14th September 2008

Rougham-based Crazy Golf company, PutterFingers entered a team in the British Mini Golf Association's (BMGA) British Open event last weekend (13th and 14th September), held at the Strokes Adventure Golf Course in Margate.

Comprised of four players (Chris Dashper, Andrew Denny, Richard Standen, Matt Willingham), the PutterFingers team members each played four rounds of 18-hole Mini Golf on the Saturday. Players scoring an average of 44 or less per round (176 strokes in total) would make the 'Cut' to play on the Sunday.

Despite a particularly impressive performance from Andrew, who scored a marvellous 41 in his second round, none of the PutterFingers team made the cut and had to bow out gracefully at the end of the first day.

The trophy was lifted by Swedish player, Mattias Ståhl, who scored an incredible 34 stroke average across his eight rounds (playing 4 rounds on Saturday and 4 rounds on Sunday). That means he was consistently averaging less than two shots per hole. In fact Mattias scored no less than 22 aces in the competition!

Mini Golf is a very strong sport on the European mainland, where players can play fulltime with company sponsorship. In fact, a strong contingent from Sweden, Germany, Finland and the Czech Republic were present - and these players dominated the top of the table at the weekend. There is talk of Mini Golf being an exhibition sport at the 2012 Olympics, with fully fledged Olympic status at some point in the future.
