    The modern game, certainly, but I’d be surprised if they had the original idea. A quick wiki suggests it may have been the Dutch who laid the concept.

    I’m no historian, but I’d agree with this out of the fact that I live an hour away from Scotland. The Scottish wouldn’t think up hitting a wee ball with a wee stick. Remember, these people literally throw tree trunks (caber toss) and rocks (stone put) for sport.

    I do, however, believe they’d have great fun with the idea of smacking a ball really hard through the Highlands.

        Yeah, that’s why there’s always a windmill in crazy golf! The other thing that makes it crazy is all that wild elevation change!

          I like how we call it miniature golf in the U.S. but you Brits outdid us by calling it crazy golf. Which would you rather play, wimpy miniature golf or awesome crazy golf? Because when I think of miniature, I think of tiny houses, but when I think of crazy, I think of Ozzy’s Crazy Train.
