holes (usually one of 9) similar to its parent, but is characterized by their short length (usually within 10 yards from the tee to the cup).
The game uses artificial pouring surfaces (such as carpets, artificial turf concrete), a geometric layout often
requiring non-traditional putting lines such as bank shots, and artificial barriers such as tunnels, tubes, ramps, moving obstacles such as windmills.

characteristics, but without the use of any props or obstacles, it is purely a smaller version of its original

History
Geometric-shaped minigolf courses made of artificial materials (carpet) began to emerge in the early 20th
century.
The earliest documentary mention of such a course is made in the 8 June 1912 edition of The Illustrated
London News, which introduces a minigolf course called Gofilstal.
Thestle Dhu ("This Will Do") course was the first standardized minigolf course to enter commercial mass
production in 1916 from Pinehurst, North Carolina, and the 1927 Tom Thumb Patent Garnet Carter to
Luken Mountains, Tennessee.
Thomas McCulff Fairbairn, a golf fanatic, revolutionized the sport in 1922 with the creation of a suitable
artificial green - a mixture of cottage hull, sand, oil and dye. With this discovery, miniature golf became
accessible everywhere;
In the late 1920s, there were more than 150 roof courses in New York City alone and thousands throughout
the United States.
The American minigolf boom ended in the early 20th century during the economic depression of the late 1930s.
Almost all minigolf courses in the United States were discontinued and demolished before the late 1930s.
A rare surviving example of this period is the Parkside Whispering Pines Miniature Golf Course located near
Rochester, New York, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
The first miniature golf course was at the Maples Inn in Canada. Pointe-Claire, Quebec. "Maps" was built in
the 1890s as a summer home, but was renovated into a club in 1902, opened to the public in 1914,
and a miniature golf course in 1930. The popular nightspot was lit in 1985.
Mintolfnot so widespread outside Europe and North America. The reason for this is probably economic,
at least to some extent:
less wealthy countries invest their limited sports funds in sports that enjoy widespread public attention and
media coverage, with little or no funding to less popular sports. Leave it.
(Minigolf remains one of the most popular outdoor sports in Europe and the US, but is not a competitive sport,
only as an occasional leisure activity.)
By 1950s the American put-company began its minigolf courses in South Africa, Australia. Was exporting Japan,
Korea, India, Iran, Italy, Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil and Eastern Bloc.
