Did you know that miniature golf or "mini-golf" has been around since the late 1800's? The Ladies Putting Club of St. Andrews, Scotland had a 18 hole putting club exclusively for women because regular golf was deemed to rigorous for ladies. Today, St. Andrews is one of the most prestigious courses in the British Isles.
