Rather amazingly, there isn"t a single mini golf/adventure golf/crazy golf (that I"m yet to find - there must surely be one?) in the whole of Nottingham! The nearest looks to be about 10 miles outside, and looks pap.

So how about a bit of pitch and putt instead?... Venues will always hire you golf bats, so don"t worry about not having your own.

Here"s a couple of possibilities:

Nice one

Note to everyone: If we play pitch and putt instead of just putting, don"t worry about being crappo at golf. And don"t worry about having to carry a huge bag o" golf bats round the course. You"ll be given a couple: a 7 (or 9) iron, and a putter.

Do what every other golfer does. Wait until everyone is looking the other way, then pick it up and throw it :p

Just a thought... I have just been at DTD tonight and on leaving noticed how close the tenpin bowling alley was. If you are struggling for golf, that could be an alternative.

Which reminds me, "I used to work in a bowling alley...." Oh hang on that joke doesn"t work written down.

Bowling is definitely a good plan B if the weather is rubbish on the day.

There must be pitch and putt courses at least in Notts

Has anybody asked any of the Nottingham crowd?

I posted on my fb wall.  Feel free to have a gander at the few replies I got.

No Dawn drinking Toffoc is not on the list of things to do. However I suppose I could pick some up as they sell it in Wales (for some reason) for Yarm Invasion.

Also for the pool event I am thinking of just all piling down to Rileys and getting some tables and playing straight knockout for about £5 or £10 per man.

The tables are about £4 per hour (off peak deal if we book online) so we could get two or three and should be able to get a tournament in one morning, this would have to be Friday or Monday though assuming we can do it on Bank Holidays. If we book the tables 11am to 1pm gives us time to get back to DTD.

Table cost for three tables for 2 hours would be £24 if I have understood the offer correctly.

The only problem might be that it is a long weekend so a bit busier than normal so might be worth us booking the tables in advance.

They also do half decent food and beer in these clubs and have free membership. Should be a laugh, and work quite well. I am happy to book the tables and pay for them in advance as long as we have people who commit to turning up (and will still pay their share of they don"t).
