Taken in Chicago on August 9, 1930, this photograph is titled "Tee Wee Golf Latest for Children," pointing to a small-scale version of the game built for short holes and young players. Miniature golf swept across the United States in the late 1920s, and by 1930 it had become a popular summer amusement that drew families and children to vacant lots and roadside venues. The picture records a moment when the craze was reaching young players, who could enjoy the game without the expense or formality of a country club.
