  Q2 : Pinehurst Gun Club

  from the Pinehurst . com Story of Pinehurst.

  Annie Oakley, sharp-shooter and star of the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, came to Pinehurst in 1916 with her husband, Frank Butler. Annie was in charge of the Pinehurst Gun Club, and gave shooting exhibitions at the Carolina hotel twice a week. Between 1916 and 1920 she instructed up to 125,000 men and women in the art of marksmanship.

  Geometrically-shaped minigolf courses made of artificial materials (carpet) began to emerge during the early 20th century. The earliest documented mention of such a course is in the 8 June 1912 edition of The Illustrated London News, which introduces a minigolf course called Gofstacle.

  Thistle Dhu ( Black Thistle) came along in 1916.

  I believe mini golf courses were actually designed for whatnots and the mentally impaired.

  Ever wondered by those great shots at a mini putt course turn out bad? It is not VEM, but the curse of the whatnots.................................just my twist on it, and no I did not find that on Google lol

  I find mini golf to be a fun outing with friends and family, especially for those you're close to who don't know how to play golf. Also kid-friendly. It might also help them become more interested in the game.
