Description

Photograph of a miniature golf course near a street, ca.1930. The back of a man, who seems to be preparing to swing, is visible. He is standing on a mini course next to a ramp; up on the ramp, a golfball and two holes, which are carved into stones, are visible. Next to these, a small sign that reads: "Hazard Conceded after 5 Shots" and "Lift Ball To Orange Line". The ramp is surrounded by grass and it has a netty fence behind which seems to serve as a decorative frame. A second man is visible behind the first man. A mini golf trail can be seen in the back, surrounded by a grassy lawn, along a wooden fence. A small bush and a grassy lawn covers the foreground. Behind the fence, houses, parked automobiles, electricity poles, and trees fill in the backdrop.
