The Ham and Egger Files

What started as an exploration of the minigolf courses in the UK and around the world has exploded into all areas of the weird, wonderful and especially the unique. Sharing the great (and not so great) things we find, learn about and appreciate as we go!

Friday, October 22, 2021 Par-59 Crazy Golf opening in CardiffThe new Par-59 Crazy Golf venue is opening in Cardiff next year.

Plans are still going ahead for the Par-59 Crazy Golf venue to open in Cardiff, Wales. The location was originally going to be at the Capitol Shopping Centre in Cardiff city centre, however plans have changed with the site now opening in a former nightclub on St Mary Street.
The Par-59 brand is being opened by footballer Gareth Bale and is set to open in Spring 2022.
Par-59 will feature three 9-hole indoor crazy golf courses along with a bar and restaurant.

Our friends Sophia and Karl Moles sent over some photos of the Mini Golf course at Haven's Wild Duck Holiday Park in Belton, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk from their recent holiday there.

Sophia told us they enjoyed a couple of rounds on the course, with the best score from the group being a 25 by Karl. The course record is 24 on the 9-hole layout.








They also visited the course back in the summer of 2019.

The first Blockbuster Video store opened in Dallas, Texas, USA on this day in 1985.
At its peak in 2004 there were more than 9,000 stores around the world. 500+ of which were in the UK.
There is now just one Blockbuster Video store left open. It's in Bend, Oregon, USA.
Blockbuster in the UK
Blockbuster Video Express in Billingham, Teesside
Blockbuster ceased operations in the UK in December 2013. At the start of that year there were 528 Blockbuster locations in the UK. The number dwindled until October when only 264 shops remained. The remaining stores closed on the 16th December.
The most recent former Blockbuster store we visited was in Clacton-on-Sea. It was nice to see it had a ghost sign
There are still clearly visible remnants of the brand on the high street and on retail parks. And we've been to most of them!

Lost brandsI've spent a lot of the last two years reminiscing about 'the good old days' before the coronavirus pandemic hit the planet. One of my areas of interest is in old retail brands - I'm a marketer by profession and two of my first jobs in the 1990's and the year 2000 were at Tandy and Toys R Us. It's been fascinating to find remnants of a number of lost, dead and defunct brands on the high street and at retail parks.No comments: Location:Dallas, TX, USARichard GottfriedIm a Champion Miniature Golfer on a tour of the UKs minigolf and crazy golf courses.

It's always brilliant to hear about new miniature golf courses opening and it's really nice when sites of lost courses once again become places to play the game.

Wednesday, October 13, 2021 Minigolf miningLast week I put out a question on social media about whether there are any Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom style runaway mine car-style rides at theme parks or fairs in the UK.
Part of the prompt for this question was watching the film, with another being the new section of holes we saw at the Pavilion Adventure Golf in Clacton-on-Sea that includes a broken down mine.

We've seen a couple of other mining scenes on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Tuesday, October 12, 2021 An oversized minigolf chequeI won the Weymouth Open minigolf tournament on this day in 2008.

The inaugural Weymouth Open minigolf competition was held on the 18-hole Pirate Adventure Mini Golf course at the Weymouth Sea Life Centre at Lodmoor Country Park.

I had a very good record in Weymouth Open events. As well as winning the individual title in 2008 my team-mate Chris Harding and I were the Weymouth Open doubles champions in 2011.
I was also runner-up in the 2009 and 2011 events and seventh in 2010. In the 2009 tournament Kevin Moseley and I were tied after two rounds and it took 4-holes of a sudden-death play-off to separate us.
The course was the 77th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've now been to 973 courses since September 2006.No comments: Location:Lodmoor Country Park, Weymouth DT4 7SX, UKRichard GottfriedIm a Champion Miniature Golfer on a tour of the UKs minigolf and crazy golf courses.

I was pleased to hear that my fellow blogger, 'dull' person and fan of the quirky Amanda from Follow The Brown Signs was back in action after a hiatus.
We've always been interested in straying off the beaten path and even before we found out about Follow The Brown Signs we would look for and find different things to see and do while out and about on our travels.

Finding out about Amanda's mission and website in 2011 gave us even more ideas as well as another outlet for us to share tips and stuff from our own quest.
Just last week I spotted a brown sign, followed it and found a Pumpkin Garden!

Check out the Follow The Brown Signs website for more information and inspiration.
Here's a selection of brown tourist signs from our adventures.
