Putt putt world champion

HASTINGS, England – Europe’s crazy golf elite pitched their putters against a slew of obstacles at the Crazy Golf World Championships at a seaside town on England’s south coast.

Sixty-six crazy golfers took to the links at Hastings Adventure Golf – dubbed the spiritual home of crazy golf by the British Minigolf Association – to compete for the £1, 000 (about R16 000) winner’s purse.

“It’s very competitive”, said former world champion Chris Harding.

After a hard-fought battle, 23-year-old Olivia Prokopova from the Czech Republic triumphed over her mostly male rivals for the championship, completing the 18-hole course in 31 strokes.
