May means maximum mini golf: ⛳️ Big shout out to Paul Kerrigan and the other regular mini golfers who finished in the money at Lilliputt Mini Golf's Heineken Open last Friday!

⛳️ Then it's a huge congrats to the kiwis James Goatley, Patrick Holla-Yin, Matt Ansley, James McCarthy and Cam Couper, who competed in the weekend's 2025-26 WMF World Adventure Golf Tour final, and what an amazing performance from Cam - battling the Brits all the way to the semi-finals!

⛳️ But what's better than kiwis at a WAGT event? How about four of them straight into the Polish Adventure Golf Masters this weekend?! Best of luck! https://pzmg.pl/pagm-2026-players/

⛳️ And what could possibly top two WAGT events? Yes! We've got the 2026 Putting Tour here in Aotearoa, including the Waikato Adventure Golf Masters on the 24th May!
