What it takes to be a crazy golf champion

Outlook

Available for over a year

What do you call that game that looks like golf, but it's played with a putter on a tiny course with loopy obstacles. Mini golf? Crazy golf? Adventure golf? Putt-putt? It sounds fun. But not for everyone, for some, it's deadly serious - a competitive sport, with tournaments and prize money. Players might only take in a fraction of the winnings of regular golfers, but there is a small elite of full-time professional players. Outlook's Saskia Edwards spoke to one of them, Czech golfer Olivia Prokopova. Image: miniature golf course in Hong Kong Credit: South China Morning Post/Getty Images
