So ok, you might be able to play golf all year round in Florida, in your shirt sleeves to boot. But it can't be good for your putting nerves to to see two gator's thrashing about wrestling one another. Especially when one is called Goliath.
Crazy golf just got a whole lot crazier. Underground drinking dens with their own courses in London. The Junkyard golf club in Manchester. Well we’ve got one from the home of putt-putt to top them all. Florida is soon to be the home to the worlds first Old testament themed crazy golf course.
Everything from scaling tall buildings in Dubai to Marmite on toast... It's Help The Gravy & Bunch Of Arse: What's made us go 'yippee!!' and what made us go 'fiddlededee' this week...

Help The Gravy (Stuff that has been nice to us this week) & Bunch Of Arse (stuff that has upset us this week at GolfPunk towers)...

What does Gareth Bale do when he's not growing his hair, wearing Alice bands, playing indifferently at Real Madrid, and waiting on that call from Manchester United? Well he's playing golf. And now he's building his own three hole course.
Gareth Bale builds amazing golf course...in his back garden!!! Chooses his favourite three holes ever: The Postage Stamp; 17th at Sawgrass and the start of Amen Corner at Augusta, the 11th...
From Danny Willet inviting us round his house to getting wiped out by 'the lurgy', what's 'Helped GolfPunk's Gravy' and 'Bunched Arse' this week...
Police are searching for a golf joyrider, who took a golf buggy late at night to give her pooch a spin. Now we always thought you were meant to walk your dog.
Ian Poulter, Danny Willett, and Anirban Lahiri got to play out every three year old boys fantasy, get their hi-vis on, and got to go and play in a crane at DP World, the worlds busiest port, and title sponsor of the DP World Tour Championships.
