Stepping back in time for a look at minigolf in Great Yarmouth in the 1920s.
One of the earliest miniature golf postcards I have in my collection is this one showing the Putting Green on Marine Parade in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

| Putting Green, Great Yarmouth. Postcard postally used on the 11th November 1927 |
The postcard was sent to Hayes, Middlesex on the 11th November 1927.
You can see the Hippodrome in the left of the image and this building is still standing and is the Hippodrome Circus on St George's Road. If you visit now you'll find a row of buildings in front of the Hippodrome itself!
You will also find that there is still a minigolf course on the same spot as the Putting Green.
Now called Castaway Island Adventure Golf the site was an Arnold Palmer Putting Course that we played a number of times on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
