#club5050 Mini Golf By The Sea (Power Up 42 Steem)

in WORLD OF XPILAR2 years ago

On a dry and sunny day like today outdoor activities are simply calling my name. You of course won’t be able to sunbathe on a sandy or a pebbly beach anywhere in North Europe at the start March. So yes, I totally get you for seeking out some other enjoyable, and why not slightly more active, ways to spend time here in Hastings for instance with family and friends.

There are fantastic easily accessible mini golf courses right here by Pelham, the main beach. There is kiosk that sells hot and cold drinks, ice cream, snacks and even fish and chips if you fancy that. The other side is where you get the golf clubs, balls and even a score card from after paying for the number of players in your party. A game for an adult currently costs £8.50.

There are three golf courses to choose from here starting with the kid friendly pirates golf, followed by a crazy golf and then the most difficult but the most fun of them all if you ask me, an adventure golf.

There are eighteen holes scattered around a pretty landscape including even a few with water features. Watch out as there are more than just the obvious waterfalls, geyser pools and ponds. Some of the totems can’t wait to spray your just styled hair or sneeze in your face.

I always recommend having a little look at the next hole and its surroundings, especially taking the incline into account. My partner and I usually discuss what challenges each themed hole hides before we take turns hitting the ball.

For those who haven’t played recently, don’t worry about it, take it easy and just enjoy the mini golf experience. Getting the ball in the hole should take you no more than six shots. The less it takes you to get it into the hole the better.

This is how the scoring goes too. So if you had to hit the ball twice to get it into the hole you then get two points which the score keeper puts down on the card. In the end the less points you end up with the better. If you are the player with the least number of points in your group then you just got something to celebrate as you won a mini golf challenge.

Last but not least you can even win a free game of golf if you get the ball into the top bonus hole here like some of us did as shown on the short video. You then receive a voucher with no expiration date, which entitles you to a complimentary game at a golf course here of your choice. So we better start planning our next visit!

I also powered up 42 Steem and here is a screenshot of this vital transaction.

Thank you ever so much @ludmila.kyriakou It is lovely to hear from you again and I hope that you are well. The thumbnail photo does remind me of Florida Keys with the palm trees and the clear blue sky. Cheers and see you around here in the WORLD OF XPILAR.

Hello dear friend @petface good afternoon
What a beautiful game, although I must admit that I don't know what the rules are.
I really like these images that you have here, the place where they have set up this golf course is really incredible
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid afternoon

A beautiful place. Golf is not popular in Russia. But I think mini golf could have popularity.
Here are the oddities. Russia has the largest area of the country. But the expression "little land" can be heard very often here. I've seen golf courses in Finland. And by the way, I like to play computer golf. 😂

Greetings @apnigrich It is always lovely to hear from you. Proper golf outdoors needs consistent dry warm sunny weather. So countries like the United States and South Africa are ideal. Indoor mini golf would work in Russia if people are keen on it. We have quite a few indoor crazy golf venues here in London. Such facilities are quite popular for team buildings. Some even go beyond serving just burgers and pints of beer or cider and offer tapas and cocktails for instance. Cheers.

I need to find out from my daughter. Maybe there are already such structures in Moscow. I'm just going to fly to visit her in a week.
