We know. It’s getting cold, and it’s been pretty wet. So if you’re gonna play some golf through the winter months you need to make sure your feet are dry at all times. And as a good as a pair of crisp white saddles might look in the summer, they don’t look great covered in winter rules mud. It’s time to pull out the browns and blacks and not look back.
Normally a round of mini golf is a rather relaxing and sedentary activity. You saunter around putting that ball through a few windmills or similar unusual obstacles often with a beer in your hand and not a care in the world as you watch family members miss that putt for the umpteenth time. In fact its supposed to be so safe that it’s become a drinking based activity with places like Junk Yard Golf or Swingers popping up everwhere!

Following on from our recent rant concerning etiquette the writer took to the course this morning. It was a stableford competition (points system) a normally quicker format as a lost ball is not the end of the world and if you can’t score on a hole you pick up. It is those lovely medal events that often bring the course to a grinding halt with all competitors having to finish out every hole.
Nicolas Colsaerts hit form today, and ties the first day leaderboard with Andy Sullivan at seven under. He’s 22 under par for his last 54 holes at the Oceanico Victoria GC, as he shot 60 and 67 in his final two rounds here in last year’s event.

Titleist have switched things up with the launch of the 816 H1 and H2 hybrids. Realising that hybrids need to be gapped distance wise with a set of irons, they've switched the release schedule to come out the same time as the irons rather than with the driver and irons.
Maja Stark will take a three-shot lead into the final day of the Creekhouse Ladies Open after a third round score of 71 (-1) kept her advantage intact. Four birdies and three bogeys during her round was enough for the Swede to lead the way after 54 holes in Åhus and keep the rest of the field at bay heading into the last 18 holes of the tournament.
