[Per Bill Silbernagel Jr - my dad, William Silbernagel Sr, and my uncle, Thomas Silbernagel, were addicted to Putt Putt in the 1950s and 1960s, to the point they played in tournaments around the state. My uncle even made annual vacation trips where every nightly stay was at a pool his wife Anna Mae could use, but close enough to a Putt Putt couse for his use]
