Rise and fall of miniature golf industry
A feature by Paul Harrison traces the rapid rise of miniature golf in the late 1920s and its decline by the early 1930s. It covers manufacturers, course operators, and equipment firms, noting many closures, the surge of new outfits, and the shift toward multi entertainment centers as public interest waned. It highlights figures like Mary Pickford’s Los Angeles course and Sloane of Course Magazine, and discusses price pressures, new games, and the survival of select courses.
