Putt Putt This

Texas Historic Images

I wonder how old something has to be to be “historic” in Texas? I don’t know the answer, but the South Padre Island PuttPutt Miniature Golf Course is probably about fifty-years-old by now, and it shows!

Rolling Out Some PUTT-PUTT Photography

No, I am not talking about some strange images taken with a PUTT-PUTT! There was this phenomenon in the Twentieth Century called PuttPutt golf and miniature golf. My images are from South Padre Island’s still standing putt-putt course, one my cousins played more than I did back in the ’70’s but yes, I did play a few rounds at the geodesic domed putt-putt golf course on HWY100 – the main drag – on South Padre Island. Keep an eye on the Shannon Drawe Photography Instagram account, and let me know if you are interested in print purchase!
