Brief respite for Gottfrieds
Minigolf action
During the close-season break in the British Minigolf Association tournaments Luton Minigolfers Richard and Emily Gottfried have been preparing for the start of the 2010 Season with friendly matches in Birmingham and an independent competition in London.
Last Monday Richard travelled to the Adventure Island Mini Golf Course at Star City, Birmingham, for pre-season matches versus fellow Midlands Minigolf Club Members.
In a friendly match versus Chris Harding, Paul Johnson and Owen Johnson on the Hidden Cove Challenge course Richard scored 37(+1) to finish third.
In the evening's second competition, held on the Lost Hut Trail Course, Richard hit a 42(+6) to again finish third, while in the third friendly round of the evening Richard scored a 37(+1) to former World Crazy Golf Champion Chris Harding's 32(-4) to lose by five shots on the Lost Hut Trail.
Richard teamed up with Paul Johnson to take on Owen Johnson and Chris Harding in an 18-hole doubles matchplay game on the Lost Hut Trail course, but lost 3&2.n Thursday, Richard and Emily were among 12 BMGA minigolfers that competed in the 2009 Christmas Crazy Golf Challenge on the temporarily Christmas-themed Minigolf course at Devonshire Square in London.
The 2009 Christmas Crazy Golf Challenge competition took place over 17 holes and the event was won by Brad Shepherd of the London Minigolf Club, with a score of 41 (+7). Richard finished in fifth place seven shots off the lead with 48 (+14) and Emily tied in ninth place with Martin Robertson after both finished on 54 (+20).
During the three month close-season Richard and Emily will be touring a number of other courses around the country, as well as practicing at the Crazy Golf course at Tea Green Golf at Wandon End, Luton.
