Pin-Golf Round 5!

Thu, 5 Nov 2026 · Replay Bar

Round 5 of Pin-Golf teed off at Replay Bar last night ⛳. Twenty-five players came in after work, grabbed a drink and spent the evening trying to get over the line in as few strokes (ie balls) as possible. As usual, the course had a few surprises in store.

Big thanks to Moving Picture Institute (MPI), who've generously licensed the film for our screening and made this whole night possible — and to the team at State Cinema for hosting us. After how much fun everyone had at our first movie night social, we couldn't say no to doing it all again. …

What a night! 34 players turned out on Show Day for Frenzied Strikes 2, and it delivered. There were heaps of games, plenty of pizza, a couple of big runs through B-Division, and an A-Division final that came down to the very last game. …

After the huge weekend that was Pin Diemen's Land, Cooldown was meant to be a gentle return to the flippers. Nobody told the players that. Replay Bar was packed out on Thursday night for a round of group match play, with regulars enjoying the casual format and a great crop of new players joining in, and we couldn't be more thrilled! …

Pin Diemen's Land

Deep South Brewing Co.
Group Match Play (4-player groups, 2 games/round)Double Elimination (Winners: Best of 5, Losers: Best of 3)

For its very first edition, Pin Diemen's Land set out to do something TAPP had never tried before: a full weekend of pinball, with four tournaments across three days under one roof at Deep South Brewing Co. We're thrilled to say it delivered. On nearly every measure (players, days, hours on the flippers and ranking value) it was the biggest competitive pinball event Tasmania has seen.

Fair warning: this write-up is a doozie. So was the weekend, and we didn't want to leave out any of the fun details, so buckle in, it's a long one! 🎢 …
