Miniature golf course adds to San Antonio's odd venues
An eight hole miniature course in San Antonio defies standard golf with holes measured in feet and a 144 foot playing distance. The famed "Old Cronies" league plays daily, using quirky rules and a water wagon by bunkers as they chase the difficult 29 stroke bogey. The club’s undefeated champ is Charles Dinsmore who defends his title with flair on a course noted for its unique obstacles and garden setting.
