Stewarts Gully Mini Golf

The Beasts (my ice hockey team) headed to Stewarts Gully Mini Golf. The facility is owned by Clive Murphie, a top bloke who is also heavily involved with the Aardwolfs Ice Hockey Club who we played against in Christchurch. As it says on the label, this is “Mini Golf”, so basically big golf shrunk to a small size, no castles, water features or other fandangled things to navigate, just good old putting greens.

Fairlie ice rink

We visited the Fairlie ice rink during the Aardwolfs Southern Migration. Not a lot to see really, just a mud bog!

The Aardwolfs babes provided some amusement by strutting their stuff for the camera.
