Once, we got stuck on a cliff face in a storm while trekking up a headland in Wales to play the course at the top

Our obsession with crazy golf started after we played a friendly round with Richard’s brother, back in 2006. We travelled from our home in Stockport to visit my family in the seaside town of Felixstowe, and someone suggested a game. Richard managed to get a hole-in-one, which won him a free game.

We started talking about how many crazy golf courses there are in the UK – we looked it up, and found there were more than 600. We’d just bought our first car and decided it would be fun to try to visit them all as a way to see the country.
