I tried out 'high-tech' mini golf inside Blackpool's new 1920s themed cocktail bar called Putt Above

I had a go at AR mini-golf inside Blackpool's newest themed bar on the promenade.

I hit some golf balls - and even scored a few times!

In fact, I thought I'd done well getting my first hole in one - but then the manager, who is a dab hand at the game, informed me that it's not quite as easy as that.

So, there are several 'projection mapped' mini-golf games you can choose from. On this attempt, it was the 'True Or False' trivia game. I looked up at the screen above me and changed my strategy (or lack of!)

It asks a question - if it's true you must hit the ball in a hole on the left, or if it's false you aim for the right. It definitely makes the game more fun!

I also had a go at the Hook A Duck game - which involves aiming at a moving target! It's surprisingly good fun, and reminds me of old fashioned arcade games but with a very modern twist!

The venue itself is somewhere I would definitely go just for a drink with friends too. I love the 1920s vibe - it's filled with quirky paintings and art deco style fittings, and lounge jazz covers of familiar pop hits play over the speakers.
