A backyard course at the home of George W. Humphrey gives this 1930 photograph its particular interest. The layout is called Happy Hazard, a name tied to the miniature golf craze that spread across the United States that year. Small greens, bridges, and obstacles drew crowds to commercial courses and inspired private versions like this one. The print was registered for copyright by the photographer H.P. Comstock, and its September 1930 date places it at the height of the fad, when the game was as much a social pastime as a sport.
