Blackbeard's Realm - Blackbeard and Mini-Golf
Believe It or Not....Our expert researchers here in Blackbeard's Realm have recently discovered documents confirming that Blackbeard and other pirates enjoyed an early form of mini golf:
This snapshot has written on the back: "Blackbeard attends grand opening of Caribbean Carpet Golf - May 5th, 1714." (on loan from anonymous resident of Nassau, Bahamas)
The caption on this postcard reads, "Henry Every surveys the windmill hole at Madagascar Mini-Golf." (discovered in old captain's trunk - St. Mary's, Madagascar)
A sketch found in one of Stede Bonnet's favorite books reveals his apparent retirement plans to turn the old sugar plantation into a 36-hole mini-golf course complete with full-scale pirate ship.
