Viewers of BBC’s ‘The Voice’ On Saturday would have been treated to some footage of the legend Tom Jones playing mini golf with ‘Team Tom’ contestants.  The Voice coach Sir Tom Jones was featured during the show using mini golf as a team building exercise to prepare for their live performance on Saturday –  Watch Team Tom here

Tom took the team to Dinosaur Safari Mini Golf off the A1 in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, close to Elstree where the BBC film the live shows of the contest.

A spokesperson for Dinosaur Safari Adventure Golf said:

“We had so much fun with the Welsh legend and his artists that we are officially backing Team Tom!”

Only one of the contestants managed a hole in one and that was Leanne Mitchell – but coming from Lowestoft she does have a pick of mini golf courses to practice on!

You will find a full review of the course here on the Ham and Egger files blog by Richard Gottfried

One of our most recent mini golf hires was to the headquarters of Baxters Healthcare in Berkshire. which incorporated our portable mini golf course into their office premises for some extended lunch time putting practice.

Our portable mini golf course is flexible enough to fit into many areas within a corporate envrironment:

  • in the office corridors,
  • reception / atrium area,
  • restroom
  • conference break-out area,
  • outdoors on a patio,
  • in the car park,
  • even inside the lift!

Or simply as used at this corporate activity in and around the desks, as set up in the Baxter Healthcare offices.

Jake Harvey, Marketing Executive at Baxter Healthcare kindly commented:

The service Putterfingers provide is very unique, very professional and provided large amounts of entertainment for my work colleagues at our social event. Set up inside the office, the equipment was easy to put together, good condition and diverse; in that any type of course could be created depending on your imagination!

Here are some images of the course set up:
