Gator Golf £4.50 @ Boots

Gator Golf £4.50 @ BootsBoots are selling this great Gator Golf game for £4.50 - it's the cheapest price I've ever seen it for (the last cheapest was £4.83, back in July last year) and it's most definitely worth buying at this price (its usual price is £18).

I've played plenty of Gator Golf games in my time - my youngest son has it, you see, and, as far as he's concerned, he's a budding little Rory McIlroy.

I'm rather competitive and I don't 'do' doing things badly very well at all; it drives me nuts, so even when it comes to putting a ball into an alligator's mouth, I have to do it well.  Edward is the same and so, as you can imagine, hours and hours of putting practice have been put in, courtesy of Gator Golf.

As a result, we are both pretty awesome when it comes to Gator Golf putting - all you need to do is putt the ball into the gator's mouth and he'll flick it back to you with his tail; each ball in the mouth is worth one point and you need just four points to win the game - if that gets too easy then you can simply rewrite the rules and bump up the required number of points to win.

Aside from the fun element of Gator Golf, it's great for developing hand eye coordination; I think you'll like it and who knows maybe you'll have the next Rory McIlroy on your hands in a few years!

You can arrange to collect your Gator Golf in-store but that's only free if you spend over £20, otherwise it'll cost you £1.95 and will only be ready within three to five working days - come on Boots, sort that out - collection from store should be FREE, regardless!  OR, you can pay an additional £2.95 and have it delivered to your home within four working days.

Gator Golf £4.85 @ Amazon

Gator Golf £4.85 @ AmazonAmazon are selling Gator Golf for £4.85 at the moment, instead of £15.99 - this is the lowest price I've seen it for and if you don't have it, then I'd recommend you buy it.

My youngest son has Gator Golf and we've played it often; I wouldn't pay £15.99 for it (but then I'm tightfisted like that) however, for £4.85 I'd definitely say BUY IT and buy it now before Amazon whip the price back up.

I have a real love-hate relationship with golf.  My husband plays amazing golf and has a handicap heading into single figures (he's had to relearn to play after breaking his neck three years ago); my golf game is truly shocking - I don't do well at doing things badly, so come September I will be having lessons with a pro' and I won't rest until I can at least hold my own on the green.

That said, I am pretty damn awesome when it comes to Gator Golf putting - all you need to do is putt the ball into the gator's mouth and he'll flick it back to you with his tail; each ball in the mouth is worth one point and you need just four points to win the game.

Aside from the fun element of Gator Golf, it's great for developing hand eye coordination; I think you'll like it and who knows maybe you'll have the next Rory McIlroy on your hands in a few years!

Delivery is free if you choose the SuperSaver delivery option, otherwise there are quicker delivery times but you'll have to pay for those.

Happy putting and then enjoying a drink at the 19th <------ one of the best bits of playing golf!

Gator Golf £6.39 @ Amazon

Gator Golf £6.39 @ AmazonAmazon are selling this great Gator Golf game for £6.39 rather than £15.99 - which is MUCH better, I don't think I'd pay £15.99 for it.

I know I wouldn't pay £15.99 for Gator Golf because my youngest son has it and we've played it often; it's GREAT fun and not bad if you need to practice your putting for real actually - I love switching my brain off and practicing my long putts along the length of my lounge with a ball, a glass and my putter; my husband plays off a low handicap and I've got a LOT of catching up to do!

All you have to do is putt the ball into the gator's mouth and he'll flick it back to you with his tail; each ball in the mouth is worth one point and you need just four points to win the game.

3 For 2 On Hasbro Games @ SmythsHasbro games make for great family fun at Christmas time (a mere 45 days away now - I consider it my public duty to provide you with a countdown on an, almost, daily basis!) and Smyths currently have a 3 for 2 offer running on them.

  • Click HERE to go over to Smyths

Hasbro games make all the classics, old and new, such as:

  • Twister - I'll never get bored of this
  • Mousetrap - I bought this for 25 pence at one of my junior school summer fetes, it was properly awesome
  • Operation - that wish bone was always the hardest, wasn't it! *BUZZ*
  • Connect 4 - love it! Especially quick-fire games with the teenagers; you have to be on the ball and eagle-eyed
  • Monopoly - I refuse to play Monopoly
  • Jenga - awesome for kids and awesome for playing with grown-ups after dinner, after a glass of wine too many!
  • Guess Who - I used to play this with my cousin when I was little - Herman is the character that sticks in my mind the most
  • Elefun - my youngest son has this and I have to say, I enjoy playing it just as much as him...and he's invariably better than me

There are lots of other Hasbro games up for grabs at Smyths - I think I've owned most of them and I guarantee there'll be something there for you.  Twister after Crimbo lunch anyone?!
