Today we are taking a look at a bit of the landscape of minigolf sport in Poland. If you missed it, at the Liepaja Open at the end of February, Robert Politowski broke the Polish record on miniaturegolf by shooting a 20. You can find the original post on the Minigolf Club Mazovia Warszawa Facebook page. While reporting that news is brief, we thought it good to let you know a little more about the sport scene in that country.

There are currently feature about 50 active players in 6 minigolf sports clubs in Poland (Minigolf Club Mazovia Warsaw, Minigolf Club Sopot, Minigolf Sports Club Kołobrzeg, Minigolf Krynica Morska Sports Club, Minigolf Club Kwidzyn and the newly created sports section Minigolf Cekcyn). There are a few major tournaments during the year in Poland, with the Polish Championship about to run it's 19th edition and there being a series for the Polish Cup held in Cekcyn, Krynica Morska, Giże, Sopot and Kołobrzeg.

The one major event on the World Minigolf Sport Federation (WMF) calendar is the Krynica Open to be held June 23 -24, 2018. Tournament organizers are Minigolf Club Sopot, Sports Club Minigolf Kołobrzeg and Sports Club Krynica Morska. The City of Krynica Morska, which sits on the Polish coast, is the primary sponsor of this tournament along with the mayor Krzysztof Swat and field owner Zenon Wojtasik. The tournament is played on a miniaturegolf course and the current record for that course is a 21, set in the 2015 Polish Championship by Mateusz Miloch. In this past this tournament has seen many big names from across Europe and is expected to draw a large crowd again as it continues to gain popularity. You can visit the event page to see the full invitation if you are interested in joining.

Currently undergoing certification are additional courses at: Człuchów (miniaturegolf), Kwidzyn (MOS), Gniewino (MOS) and Białogóra (MOS).

It sounds like some great things are going on in the sport of miniature golf in Poland and we can't wait to hear more from the tournaments in that country!
