Junkyard Golf Club, Newcastle

This might qualify as one of the most weird and unsettling games we've ever played.

Scrap that. It WAS the most weird and unsettling game we've played. 

Loud music, flashing lights, bizarre sets left us feeling queasy and unsteady for about an hour after leaving the building. On the plus side, it was fun, there were some great holes and even a slide!

However, flickering fluorescent lights in this enclosed indoor space really got to us and it became unpleasant to stay.

The slide! Woohoo!

Glitter ball.

We played two of the three courses. These were named and themed. Bozo was funfair and clowns, Gary was sort-of Only Fools and Horses and a third round, Pablo, was jungle based. We left after playing Bozo and Gary, with the wristbands to prove it. Our heads were fried and our legs were shaking after the onslaught of the bizarre lights so didn't stay to play the Pablo course.

Balls and putters.

Some really good and innovative holes.

A disco feel in parts too which was fun.

Sadly, after the lighting did for us inside, we probably won't return.

Totting up our scores from these games didn't seem to matter as much as getting out into the fresh air once we'd finished and getting as far away from the place as we could.

In a word ... Bizarre!

Lofty's crazy golf at Seaton Carew

Tried a new course today: "Lofty's" on the seafront at Seaton Carew.   

It's not the first time we've played in Seaton Carew, you can read our blog post about the JD Golf Done mini golf here.

And what a little belter it is. It was a really busy little course, 9 holes with beautiful views out over the wide, sandy beach.

Each hole was inspired by a Hartlepool / Seaton Carew landmark such as the train station...

... the HMS Trincomalee ship, which you can view at Hartlepool Marina... 

...and the blue and white stripes of Hartlepool football club. 

We really enjoyed this course. It was fun, friendly and in a beautiful spot. Would highly recommend it.

At the end of the nine holes was a chance to win a free game. Sadly, neither of us won this time.

Scores today were Sunny Jim 29, Flaming Nora 33.  

However, Flaming Nora did get a hole-in-one and Sunny Jim didn't.  

Mind you, Flaming Nora did take 9 shots on one hole, that's why she didn't win. 

Never mind, there's always next time!
