Two young men, who claim TO-
have originated the baby golf
pcourse idea, are growing wealthy,
millionaires at 81. They are both
the same age. They are Drake
de Lanoy, president and John N.
Ledbetter, vice president and
treasurer, Of the Miniature Golf
Codrses of America, Inc, with
headquarters in New York city.
They own the basic patents and
control the miniature sgolf busi-
ness.
Ledbetter, interviewed today in
his busy office, chucked away in
a corner of a floor in an office
building which harborS one Of the
courses, with its greens and sand
traps. mural paintings, artificial

how wealthy he and his partner
have become, but he did enthu-
siastically declare that business
l.; great"
"The miniature golf craze
has swept the country this sum
mer," he said. There are 400
courses in New York alone.
California leads all States with
over 1000. Florida. where they
play outdoors winter and sum-
mer, has $50. Illinois has at
least 200. And 50 on. If there
has been a business depression
we certainly haven't felt it,"
Night after night thousands of
men, women and children putt
and chip around these little
courses. They play as late as
2 and 3 o'clock In the morning.
The courses are little beauty
spots, often greatly improving
the appearances of towns and
communities. It is reported that
the popularity of the courses has
cut down attendance at the
movies and that some motion
picture interests are contemplat-
ing installing miniature golf lay.
outs in theaters that are now
dark.
An outdoor Tom Thumb course
costs about $500 and an indoor
miniature course from $3.50 to
"a 500, according to Ledbetter. An
eighteen-hole, standard course, re-
quires an area Of from $500 to
5000 square feet.
So popular has the fad become
that Ledbetter and De Lanoy have
started building "a back yard
course"
1t costs about $3.50, and can
be installed by the individual.
Every true golfers hack yard
is a potential golf course, it
was pointed out.
Ledbetter is buying putters. the
club generally used on these
courses, in lots Of thousands. The
price of cottonseed hulls, used in
making greens. has jumped 800
per cent. He is having difficulty
buying cheap golf balls.
Putting on the carpet in their
own home, like so many other
golfers, the "big idea" of a baby
course came to them. They built
one, but couldn't make it go. But
they "hung on" A year and a
half ago, according to Ledbetter.
