The Hastings Open drew to a close last Sunday on a weekend when many local players would tell you it never rains in Hastings. 🌧️ Perhaps they are correct; however, the “sea spray” was particularly bad on Sunday, saturating the course and everyone on it. 🌊 Coupled with the strong winds 💨, the event definitely proved a challenge for the 51 mini golfers competing. ⛳

The event was well attended by Strokes, with 14 making the journey. 👏

Aces’ Seve Kukielka again took the win 🏆, dominating with an outstanding -4 for the tournament. (On a side note, Seve showed that even the best can make mistakes, with a six on hole 14 in round two, giving hope to us all. 😅)

Local Hastings player Paul Tutt took second place 🥈, winning on a first-hole playoff after playing consistently all day. This pushed
Dragons’ Philip Sandy into third 🥉, who proved to be the Max Verstappen of minigolf, excelling in the wet conditions. 🏎️💨

For Strokes, it proved to be a tough day. However, the togetherness, with Silverbacks joining us, has definitely been evident at the first three events and looks promising for the future 🤝, with James providing excellent captaincy throughout the weekend.

Andy Exall finished as the top Strokes player, finishing 10th on +6.

Marc Chapman finished 13th on +7, playing well on his first visit to the course and also scoring as a top Strokes player in the Team Shield.

James Teubler finished 14th on +8, finishing as the second Strokes player for the Team Shield and having a great tournament.

Brad Ames finished 17th on +9, contributing as the third scoring Strokes Shield player, gaining the Category 3 silver medal 🥈, and continuing his excellent form.

Matt Dodd finished 19th on +12, with a 36 in the final round to make the top 20. 🎯

Scott Lancley finished 25th on +16, improving each round.

Terry Exall finished 26th on +17, again improving his score each round.

John Sharp finished 28th on +18, having a very consistent tournament with three 42s. 🎯

James Rutherford finished 30th on +19, also improving each round.

Matt Exall battled through the conditions to finish 37th on +25.

Julian Teubler finished 43rd on +29, winning the bronze medal in the Junior category. 🥉

Neil Tann finished 44th on +32, fighting the conditions.

David Humphreys finished 46th on +34, picking up some good aces.

Jacqueline Layton finished 51st on +66 and competed well.

Hastings Adventure Golf management will now look to replenish their supplies of doughnuts 🍩 and hot drinks ☕, which are probably dangerously low after Sunday.

Thanks to the course for making us feel welcome as always, and to David, Marion, and everyone Hastings Minigolf for their excellent organisation and running of the event. 🙌 We look forward to seeing everybody in Margate in a few weeks, where another warm welcome is guaranteed. 😊
Happy travels, and see everyone there! 🚗⛳

Last weekend saw the second event on tour, with the BMGA returning to Scotland after many years. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Twenty-nine minigolfers, including four from Strokes, made the long trip to play three rounds under the dome in Dunfermline in an attempt to be crowned Scottish Open Champion. ⛳🏆

This honour went to Aces’ Seve Kukielka who finished on -20, beating teammate Simon Brown in a playoff and pushing Simon into second place. Third place went to Strokes’ James Rutherford, who finished one shot back on -19, pushing Seve and Simon all the way. 🥈🥉

As usual, the event was well run by the BMGA, with James, Seve and Jon doing a great job ensuring everything ran smoothly and on time. 👏

Captain James Rutherford led by example, pushing Seve to just one shot with outstanding rounds, his best being a 26, dropping only one shot all day. He finished third overall on -19.

Matt Dodd played well, securing second place for Strokes in the Shield. He improved each round, finishing with a 29 to push into the top 10, ending 8th overall on -8.

John Sharp finished as third Strokes player. He played well all day and also improved each round, finishing in 15th place on -4. John sadly lost the playoff for the bronze medal in Category 2.

Neil Tann improved each round, finishing with an excellent 31 in his final round to place 17th on -3. In doing so, he won the silver medal in Category 3. 🥈

Congratulations to all the prize winners and to everyone who took part in supporting the tour north of the border. 🙌

The tour now moves on to Hastings, and we look forward to seeing everyone there. Safe travels! 🚗⛳

The much-anticipated 2026 season started last weekend with a trip to Kent for the Thanet Open.
⛳️ ⛳️
Starting with a unique challenge on the tour, players competed on two different 18-hole courses: two rounds upstairs ⬆️ and one downstairs⬇️ Twenty-two players participated, and with the generous gesture of the course, over £500 was raised for charity.

The event was well organised and run from start to finish, with eight members of Strokes hoping to take home the win. However, the final round ended with Aces player Seve Kukielka winning 🏆with an outstanding 18 under par.

Chris Randell secured second place 🥈 at 12 under, and Strokes player Scott Lancley competed superbly to pip teammate Marc Chapman with an ace on the last hole, finishing 10 under in third place 🥉

Marc Chapman went on to win the Aces prize, playing well throughout and finishing fourth on −9 on his first visit to the course.

Brad Ames played excellently in all three rounds, showing his potential to finish seventh on −4 and securing the silver medal in Category 3.

James Rutherford recovered from an early setback in round one, having two great rounds to match Brad in joint seventh at −4.

Matt Dodd played well throughout, finishing ninth on −1 and acing the last hole to secure the gold medal in Category 2.

John Sharp performed consistently and steadily all day, finishing on level par in 11th place and securing the bronze medal in Category 3.

Chloe Allart-Bennett finished 15th at two over par, securing an excellent 32 in round two and getting regular aces throughout the three rounds.

Taylor Field finished 22nd at 44 over par, ending his tournament with his best round of 48 on the arguably harder downstairs course.

Congratulations 🎉to all for taking part, and to the course for hosting us. The tour moves on to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 —safe travels ✈️and we hope to see everyone there.

On 27th July, seven players from Strokes Minigolf Club competed at the British Adventure Golf Masters held at Play2Day Wisbech. The course was challenging and the competition strong, but our players put in solid performances across the four rounds. ⛳️

James Rutherford was the standout, finishing 16 under par to win the tournament. He is now the British Adventure Golf Masters champion and has automatically qualified for the World Adventure Golf Tour final in Gloucester next year. This win means Strokes Minigolf Club now boasts five Masters winners in its ranks — a great achievement for the club. 🏆

Martin Greenhead also had a strong day, finishing 4th at 9 under par. Martin’s steady game earned him a top-five position in a competitive field. 👏

Will Donnelly, the defending champion, faced the added challenge of playing this course for the first time. Despite that, he finished even par, showing his experience and adaptability. 🎯

Andy Wilde and Adrian Amey finished a few strokes over par, reflecting their determination throughout the event. There were definitely some positives to reflect on with Adrian smashing in a 32 in his final round and Andy starting off with a 34 💪

Chris Wood finished 9 over par, showing resilience through a tough course, while Mark Wood finished 20 over par. Despite the challenges, Mark kept battling throughout. 🔥

It was also lovely to see our friends from the US, Vanette Block and Rick Baird, joining the event and adding to the great atmosphere. 🇺🇸

As a final note, we missed some of our Strokes players who weren’t able to make it — Matt, Helen, Neil and Ayshe — but a big well done to Emily Dodd (a future star??? 🌟) who recently aced the challenge hole at a minigolf course while on holiday, winning 350 euros! 🎉

Overall, it was a solid day for Strokes Minigolf Club, with strong performances and great spirit from everyone involved. We look forward to the next event and well played everyone 👍
