Integrity














               Putt-Putt Golf was established to provide folks an outdoor style of entertainment

               on a quality miniature golf course.  During a time of medical convalescence, Don
               Clayton (the founder of Putt-Putt Golf) gave thought to
               the lack of quality he experienced with miniature golf

               courses.  From the course, to the putter and ball, he felt
               there was a level of quality missing; so he set out to
               establish a quality miniature golf course with quality
               equipment.  He developed the Putt-Putt Golf franchise

               and established the standard of comparison in
               miniature golf.  His usage of the name “Putt-Putt” came from knowing a bit about
               golf and being an excellent golfer.  In golf, two putts on a green equals a par if a

               player reaches a green in regulation.  Putt-Putt was designed to provide the same
               reward after two putts, a par.  Thus, every hole on a Putt-Putt Golf Course is a
                                                                     par-2.  Putt-Putt Golf also provided
