Selects: How Miniature Golf Works

# Stuff You Should Know - Miniature Golf Episode

Josh and Chuck dive into the surprisingly rich history of miniature golf, tracing it all the way back to 1867 Scotland where women were first allowed to play a modified version of golf on a tiny putting green. They explore how the sport evolved from elegant European gardens to the rooftop courses of 1920s New York and eventually transformed into the whimsical putt-putt courses and elaborate goofy golf setups we know today, complete with windmills and clown mouths. Along the way, you'll discover fascinating characters like Don Clayton, who revolutionized the industry with his skill-focused putt-putt concept, and the Loma brothers, who introduced the wild mechanical obstacles that defined goofy golf.
