Ladies were not allowed to swing golf clubs above their shoulders at the time, hence the creation of the 18-hole putting green called The Himalayas,played with a putter on real grass. In 1916, miniature golf -- then called Garden Golf -- had found its way to the United States when James Barber's Thistle Dhu putting course opened in Pinehurst, N.C.
