  See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putt-Putt_Fun_Center "Putt-Putt, LLC (founded in 1954 as Putt-Putt Golf Courses of America, Inc.) is an American franchiser of Par 2 miniature golf businesses in several states as well as locations abroad. The franchise was originally branded as Putt-Putt Golf, but with franchise expansion into family entertainment centers, many locations are currently branded as Putt-Putt Fun Centers. In reaction to low-quality miniature golf courses then available, founder Don Clayton introduced a branded, "no-frills, all-skills" miniature golf concept: Standardized holes are constructed of smooth concrete covered with short nap outdoor carpet and bordered by 2x4" extruded aluminum barriers. Every hole is designed to be par-2, but with hole-in-one always possible with skilled putting. The franchise offers over 100 standard, copyrighted hole designs."
