Great to hear that it's still standing. I can't find a website for the course, but <a href="https://plus.google.com/115645846988267359493/about" rel="nofollow">it has got a Google+ page</a>.<br /><br />Looking at the card again it makes sense that one standard postcard/advertising card was produced for marketing purposes and then distributed to all of the Putt-Putt courses in South Africa. So the Southdale location stamped on the reverse of the card is in Johannesburg, but the image is of the course in Cape Town.<br /><br />Many thanks to PJ and his Putt-Putt contacts for the info.Richard Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251803061638754995noreply@blogger.com
