Where Did Mini Golf Come From?
Tiger Woods simply would not be playing this one would he, well he most likely will be at the moment because of the fact he cannot play the real thing.
Believe it or not there is actually a bit of debate going around on where the game actually first came from but it is said to be have been foudned in 1867 at the St Andrews Golf Club. This 18 hole course is actually still sitting in its location today and although it isnt crazy golf it is still arugably mini golf as it has 18 mini holes of putting greens.
Over time these kinds of courses were popping up all over the place until eventually it had become customary for major hotels across England and the US to have these style of courses. During these times it was not just a mini putter that was used but a mini driver too.
North Carolina was the very first location of the mini golf course that we would recgonise today and this was formed in 1916. After the artifical style greens had been introduced it really did start to kick off and before the depression in 1929 there were over 150 mini golf courses on the rooftops of New York!
You cannot load up those marine batteries and leisure batteries and put them in your mini golf trolleys You can even get a mini trolley to fit in your favourite mini putters.
All the major destinations in the world will have at least one mini golf course no including huge places such as Disney World in Florida, it just goes to show how popular the game has become.
