Mulligans Golf for the New Year

A little bit late on this blog update as it was almost a week ago now. On bank holiday Monday we decided to drag the troops out and make something of the day before the holidays end and we all go back to work and school. Tina was working at her new job at Tesco's all over Xmas so for the first time in over 30 years I didn't see the New Year in with her, it was just me and the 3 kids dancing around the coffee table with some snacks and drinks, but on the bank holiday Monday we even dragged Tina out as we headed to Mulligans for a round of crazy golf. No Joshua though as he decided to go the Dead Oak Lake with his mates for a day of fishing.

Anyway we had a really good afternoon at Mulligans which was won by Holly (with some cheating), closely followed by Brandon (without cheating), then me and Tina. We had quite a few holes on one and because it was fairly bus we actually managed to play quite a few of the holes several times as we couldn't move on to the next one.

Tina on hole 1 of the upstairs course.

Brandon finishes the Tetris hole where the screen advised Tina had to buy everyone a round of drinks!

Air hockey or crazy golf?

Holly's putt is a bit wild and more like a golf swing.

Around the race track, harder than it looks.

Brandon thought he had this one sorted by bouncing off the tires, but it didn't work.

I managed to nail this basketball loop in one, three times!

But Brandon couldn't do it.

A game of pool with a golf ball.

Brandon nailed this hole in one.

Space Invaders hole is a real case of pot luck as to where your ball comes out.

Fun on the football table. Shame it hasn't been looked after and some of the players heads are missing.

Brandon's turn.

End of the upstairs 9 holes, now downstairs for the fairground course.

First up the helter skelter.

Do you go around the bumper car or under the bumper car?

Holly and Brandon waiting for the next hole sitting in the bumper cars.

Punch and Judy hole is impossible to get a hole in one even if you hit the target perfect!

We tried so many times and no one really got close to a hole in one.

.
The Ferris wheel hole looks impressive, but it is pretty pointless. There is no real benefit of getting your ball on the wheel.

Holly smashes another ball at the Ferris wheel.

T-cups were quite easy as long as you get the ball in the red hole.

The Evil Knievil hole is very difficult. Brandon did the best and managed to jump 3 of the 4 or 5 buses.

Naughty Brandon thought this clown looked like his older brother!!!

End of round 2 and a fun afternoon. Now time to treat the kids to a McDonalds to finish off our last whole day together over the Xmas break.
