Check out this link on Miniature Golf:

http://www.mastersnationalchamps.com/history.html

Miniature Golf is a great sport. It is a sport that "any gender, any age can
excel without any handicap or without being a well-conditioned athlete."

In the 1930's, there were "over 150 rooftop courses in New York City alone."

Miniature Golf is undaunted by economic adversity:

"After the stock market crash of 1929, regulation minigolf links became too
expensive for most people to afford. In spite of this, the desire to play this
most popular game continued to flourish. The ingenuity of the players during
this depressed period of American History spawned what became known as
"Rinkiedink" golf. Undaunted by convention, enthusiastic players would use any
space available to set up these unique and crazy courses."

Boy, I'd love to play some miniature golf soon....

Cheers!
