Another Summer is nearly here (don’t laugh, it is on its way despite widespread belief to the contrary). For that quintessentially British Summer guest entertainment event, the garden party, what can a host add to the Pimm’s and cucumber sandwiches to make it a memorable day? Some kind of lawn game is a good idea – they are sociable, fun, and just competitive enough to reveal a bit about your guests’ characters, or reinforce what you already knew about them, which is all good for a bit of sun-drenched gossip around the barbecue.
But you don’t want your guests to work up too much of a sweat, otherwise they’ll get through all the Pimm’s in no time and someone will have to be dispatched to the shops for more. So what’s the perfect genteel game that guests of all ages and fitness levels can enjoy playing without too much physical effort?
We were stumped for a while by this question, then after a long and arduous brainstorming session it finally hit us. How about some smaller version of golf? It could be played in any size of garden, with a series of challenging holes that could be laid out in a variety of patterns. Guests could compete round the course, which could be 3, 9 or 18 holes, whilst never straying far from the drinks table. Brilliant! We had nailed it. The perfect formula for Summer garden party entertainment.
We’re Putterfingers, we’ve been doing this for ten years, and we’ve helped turn lots of garden parties into super fun events with our minigolf hire service. We’ll deliver and collect, and even set it up for you if you aren’t too far away from our base in Norfolk. The astro grass putting surface has lots of little holes in it under the grassy surface, so it drains when it rains. Summer showers are not a show-stopper and play can resume immediately after a soaking. No putting in puddles!
We provide everything needed for a game of minigolf: Astro grass tiles that dovetail together to form the putting surface, foam bumpers that go round the edges to keep the ball in play, putters (duh!), balls, obstacles, putting cups, hole markers, scorecards and pencils.
