Playing miniature golf is a very fun thing to do and, you’re about to find, learning about its origin and history is very fun as well. Join Josh and Chuck as they tee off on the mini golf story!
# Stuff You Should Know: Miniature Golf
Josh and Chuck dive into the surprisingly rich history of miniature golf, from its Victorian origins at Scotland's Ladies' Putting Club in 1867 all the way through the wild 1920s boom that created thousands of courses across America. They explore how the sport evolved from fancy putting greens to the putt-putt courses you probably played at as a kid, and discover that North Carolina is basically the ancestral home of miniature golf in the entire world. Along the way, you'll learn about eccentric entrepreneurs, ridiculous craze statistics from the Depression era, and why only three people have ever scored a perfect 18 on a regulation putt-putt course.
