Footnotes

  • The Schoenhut game is regarded as being the first golf simulator using a manikin golfer on the end of a wooden shafted golf club. The miniature golf course was laid out in the home complete with bunkers, hazards and greens. The lever mechanism, located within the golf shaft, moves a selection of realistic looking golf clubs that fit neatly into the hands of the golfer. Accessories include a tee sand stand, golf bag and trolley.
