Excellent Customer Service drives me quackers!
On Sunday morning we awoke to find some new visitors to our garden – what a lovely sight!
Of course the children were delighted to think that the ducks could become our new pets and quickly ran to the bread bin to throw out some stale bread!
We aptly named them George and Mildred, even though the children had no idea of the 70’s sitcom!
Well to our surprise the ducks returned again at lunch –...

Round or Oval – what do you prefer?
Happy Easter to you all – friends, family, customers old and new!
Well our family is much divided for this morning.
My son and husband are gearing up for a football match, and my daughter and I are busy preparing for visitors as today is Easter Sunday. The lamb is seasoned, the vegetables are prepared and we have a gorgeous chocolate mousse, decorated with chocolate mini eggs for dessert.

Exhibition Golf – ever thought of adding a putting...
I have attended many exhibitions over the years and am usually attracted to those offering something unique, different or slightly zany.
Exhibitions are a hub of creativity, buzzing with delegates scouring the venue for new ideas, exciting new ways to develop their knowledge or business and looking for unique exhibitors that stand out from the crowd.
What better way to attract them to your...
Crazy Golf – is it really crazy?
So what is the meaning of Crazy Golf? I found this definition – ‘A variation on golf, played on a smaller scale, where players have to putt the golf ball into a hole, past various obstructions.’
So yes maybe true, but why does it have to be termed ‘crazy’? The putter and ball are the same as used in golf, but of course the obstructions, or in our case obstacles - are great fun and certainly not...

A Letter to Santa
Well after all I have been good this year!
So Santa, here’s why I deserve a visit from you:
- I have been polite and helpful to all potential and new crazy golf course clients;
- I have been nice to all the children at our mini golf events;
- I have tried to keep the office tidy;
- I have made our team copious amounts of coffee and brought in lots of cakes;
- I have remembered to promote...
'Tis the season to be jolly!
What a nice surprise I had when I visited the office late last week!
A very kind client of ours had sent me an advent calendar in the post. Now you are never too old to open an advent calendar, especially one that has 24 doors of chocolate!
Laura Essex from Experior Group, had hired a Challenge Putt modular golf course from Putterfingers.co.uk for an important SAP User Conference at the...

Should you play golf in the winter?
Most of the males I know are ‘fair weather’ golfers and certainly don’t practise their putting and swing enough in the winter months. The cold temperatures shouldn’t stop you practising your skills. Winter can be an annoyance to some, as it is too cold to play an outdoor sport. The males I know wait for warmer days to get in a round of golf on the green……
A simple alternative is to...

50 Days til Christmas!!!!
Isn’t it worrying when you are constantly reminded that Christmas is just around the corner. I looked at Ebay over the weekend to find a header with an online countdown and today it is just 50 days! Don’t get me wrong I love Christmas but this year seems to have gone rather a bit too fast for me – or maybe that is the sign I am getting older!
I even heard Christmas music tinkling away whilst...

Charity Golf Event
Shopping is now the largest leisure activity by numbers of people who engage in it. This is not counting the supermarket dash we may all have to do weekly, rather the gentle meander around a High Street shopping complex, mall, hypermarket, or Olde Towne market place that most of us participate in regularly. Kind of fitting then that a Mini Golf course should have been established in Bury St...

Crazy Golf in Shopping Centres and Malls!
What have Morrisons, the new Arc complex in Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich’s Tower Ramparts Shopping Centre all got in common? Crazy Golf - that’s what! Morrisons have just completed a portable mini golf hire in conjunction with Nestle on their nationwide “Get Set, Go Free” campaign. Putterfingers supplied the golf course as well as specially branded edge bumpers. In fact,...
Check out the Crazy Golf Museum!
We know Tim ‘Ace Man’ Davies well - we entered a Putterfingers team once in the British Minigolf Open, where he soundly thrashed all off us… Tim is a very well known figure on the UK’s Mini Golf / Crazy Golf scene. Some of his YouTube videos are great! So, it’s interesting to note that he and a similarly well known UK mini golfer (Richard ‘Squire’...

The greatest putt of all time!
There is no real way to qualify the greatest putt of all time. You could go for the longest putt ever noted or the one achieved under the most difficult circumstances. The longest ever televised putt is generally credited to someone who is not even a golf professional! During a televised pro-am tournament in 1980, Terry Wogan (he of Children in Need fame), holed a putt at Gleneagles which was 33...
Heath Robinson Polling Booths
So, I voted today! Don’t ask me who I voted for - I don’t know - that’s what happens when you close your eyes and randomly stab at the paper. I’m fairly sure I marked the ballot paper at the very least!
But what struck me was the polling booths themselves. I live in a fairly small village (perhaps our urban compatriots have something a bit snazzier) - but our village...
