By Richard Fellner on Comments Off on Mini but mighty: How SHANX is set to change the game
When you hear the the term “Mini Golf”, you’ll doubtless conjure images of windmills, dinosaurs, brightly-coloured balls and amusement-park-themed structures.

By Richard Fellner on Comments Off on We Tried it: PowaKaddy CT6
Walking the golf course is one of the true joys of the game. Sure, a golf cart/car can add some convenience, but when you come right down to it, there are (in my mind, anyway) far fewer things better than experiencing a golf course on foot. And it can be even more enjoyable with a […]
