♠️Aces Player Spotlight - Jas Kukielka ♠️
You will often see Jas carrying out maintenance at the course. He takes great pride in ensuring everyone enjoys their time at Aces so works hard to keep the course in pristine condition. Jas has been playing minigolf for many years and is an eternal optimist - still holding out hope that one day he will win a big tournament! Fingers crossed for 2026, Jas!

How and when did you become interested in Minigolf?
- I began playing almost 20 years ago in the hope that it would provide a cure for my yips! However, sadly it hasn't worked, although I still continue to dream.......

Most memorable moment so far?
- Being part of the winning Welsh Minigolf Club team in 2021 (before Gloucester Aces Minigolf Club existed) when we won the Club Championships. It was extra special as we won it at Aces - one of the first tournaments to be held there. Through minigolf, I have also met such an amazing and lovely group of people, who I am fortunate to call my friends.

Favourite Hole?
- A tough one as all the holes are great tests of skill, but it has to be the keyhole - when I can close the course, lock the shed and drive home after a busy day at Aces! I really enjoy playing hole 5 as it's a finesse shot and I tend to ace it regularly.

Other Interests?
- First aid (as I am known to be accident prone when doing DIY!). I also like most sports - I play golf occasionally and enjoy watching football, snooker and darts.

Minigolf goal in 2026?
- I am playing in the World Crazy Golf Championships in Hastings in June. I haven't played there for many years, and have previously played badly, so I am hoping 2026 will be MY YEAR.

We have an exciting opportunity for our players. There is an upcoming crazy/minigolf TV show being produced and they are looking for contestants! If you are interested read on and apply below.

♠️ Aces Member Spotlight: Jan & Phil Jennings ♠️
Continuing our feature on members of the Gloucester Aces Minigolf Club, today we’re shining the spotlight on one of our most popular minigolf couples — Jan and Phil Jennings!

Jan and Phil are regulars at our Saturday morning club events, and their dedication is paying off. Phil even competed in his first Novice Tournament in Midsomer Norton last year… and won it! 🏆

🎯 How and when did you become interested in Minigolf?

“We’re keen gardeners and often visited the garden centre — and would have the occasional round of minigolf because we’d always enjoyed playing on holiday. About a year ago, we discovered there was a minigolf club at Aces that met regularly, so we joined and haven’t looked back! It’s a great way to spend Saturdays with friendly competition and the chance to socialise with a lovely group of people of all ages. Plus, it gets us out in the fresh air whatever the weather!”

✨ Most memorable moment since you started playing?

Phil: “Winning the Novice Tournament at Dynamite Adventure Golf in my first ‘official’ competition away from Aces.”
Jan: “My memorable moment is yet to come!”

⛳ Favourite hole at Aces (and why)?

Jan: “Hole 13 — I tend to ace it regularly. Very satisfying!”
Phil: “Hole 1. I play it very consistently. If I don’t ace it, the second putt is always easy.”

🌱 Other interests outside Minigolf?

Phil: “I enjoy bowls, and I’m a qualified coach. I also love gardening.”
Jan: “I play short mat bowling and enjoy making stained glass pictures.”

🏅 Minigolf goals for this year?

Jan: “To bring my scores down and become more consistent. I hope to regularly score rounds in the mid-30s.”
Phil: “I’d love to complete all 18 holes without dropping any shots. I regularly shoot under par, but still haven’t achieved this!”
