Crazy
Art Golf - Hole 16 |
Squeezed
into The Northern Quarter Gallery are eighteen holes of golf created
by some of the UK's most promising artists and designers.
It
takes a few minutes to realise that they actually want you to play
a real game of golf with these exhibits - (it was the score card
that finally convinced me. Well that or the fact that they handed
me a golf club).
Crazy
Art Golf - Hole 11 |
The
rattle of the ball across 3000 glass marbles, the electric guitar
twangs of hole 9 and the nakedness of hole 12 never allow you to
think that you're really on a crazy golf course as opposed to visiting
an art gallery.
The
various holes make you think, smile, discuss, cheat, wonder, look
more closely and occasionally curse (as your ball bounces off the
course and down the stairs). But there is something a little more
sobering about the final hole, hole 18 as you try to get your ball
into the coffin.
Crazy
Art Golf works for me. Give it a try and see if you can beat my
course record of 108.
