Beer Pong is the one of the most popular and highly-competitive drinking games out there, but now there’s a new golf themed version and it’s already hit it off with sports fans during lockdown.
If most pre-drinks, house parties and social gatherings you’re at always seem to end up featuring a round of beer pong, then you’ll love this. Rather than aiming to throw a ping pong ball across a table and into a glass, how about ‘putting’ them with a golf club instead?
Well, that’s exactly what PutterBall is.
PutterBall is described as the “revolutionary new golf game that anyone can play” (we’ll just have to presume that’s anyone of legal drinking age, of course) and it’s proven so popular with legions of sports fans whilst being cooped up indoors during lockdown that it previously sold out online.
If you like the sounds of it though, thankfully there’s just been a restock, but you’ll likely have to act fast once again if you want to get your hands on it for your next get together.

According to the product description on the PutterBall website, this unique game challenges you to “putt your money where your mouth is” and “combines golf and beer pong to create hours of fun that everyone can enjoy.”
“From a low-key day at home to an exciting tailgate with all of your friends, this golf putting game is a must for every event.

“The full set of PutterBall comes with everything you need to make this golf putting game a success. Once you have the game in your hand, all you need is a few friends, cold beer, and all the makings of a good time”
Basically, the aim of the game is to putt your ball into each of the holes on your opponent’s end, and then cover each hole once you have successfully putted a ball into it.
The PutterBall set comes with two putters, a fake putting green with 12 holes – six at either end – as well as two balls and 12 hole covers.
It’ll set you back £140 and you can order it directly from the PutterBall website here.

Peter Kay announces four intimate charity shows in Greater Manchester – but only for these postcodes
Emily Sergeant
Peter Kay has just announced four intimate shows to raise money for a very worthy cause… but you can only get tickets if you live in these particular postcodes.
Comedy legend Peter Kay is set to return home to the Bolton Albert Halls for four very special hometown shows in this summer, marking his first performances at the venue more than two decades.
Taking to the very stage where he recorded the UK’s biggest-selling stand-up DVD, it’s set to be a proper nostalgic homecoming for one of Britain’s most beloved comedians.
The summer shows – which are taking place from 9 – 11 July 2026, even including a matinee performance – this is a rare chance for local fans to be part of something incredibly special, with all funds raised going to Bolton Hospice.
But, there’s a bit of a catch… you’ll only be able to get tickets if you live in Bolton (and some parts of Bury), as it’s strictly limited to BL postcodes.
Peter Kay Live at the Bolton Albert Halls – 2026 Dates
Thursday 9 July (Evening)
Friday 10 July (Evening)
Saturday 11 July (Matinee)
Saturday 11 July (Evening)
Tickets officially go on sale Friday 24 April at 10am, and you can get your hands on them here.

Seven in 10 NHS workers think the health service is ‘poorly prepared’ for another pandemic
Emily Sergeant
A new survey has revealed that seven in 10 NHS workers believe the health service is ‘poorly prepared’ for another pandemic if one should arise.
After the recent meningitis B outbreak in Kent last month raised the conversation of mass contagion once again, of course following the COVID-19 pandemic, a new YouGov survey of more than 1,000 NHS workers has now uncovered how well prepared staff in the health service think it is for another global pandemic.
The results show that 69% of staff surveyed think the health service is ‘poorly prepared’ for another pandemic, and to make matters worse, 26% of those even say it’s ‘very poorly’ prepared.
Only one in five (22%) think the NHS is could properly handle another pandemic, but statistically, YouGov claims none of those surveyed said it’s ‘very well’ prepared.

When workers were asked how the NHS’s level of preparedness now compares to prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 41% did concede that they think it is better prepared now than 2020, however 37% admitted they think it’s no better prepared.
16% actively think it’s less well-prepared now than it was prior to 2020.
This marked a new era of ‘transparency’ and ‘accountability’ in the NHS, with the league tables delivering on the Government’s promise to drive up standards, tackle variation in care, and ensure people get the high-quality service they rightly expect.
Every trust in England – from urgent and emergency care, through to elective operations and mental health services – will now be ranked quarterly against ‘clear and consistent’ standards.
