Cards Now Played like Midget Golf
THE latest addition to the ever increasing list of games devised for the amusement of incurable golf fans is a combination of midget golf and bridge, played on a carpet spread out at the bathing beach for games between plunges.
The unique carpet on which the game is played has painted on it a circle containing card symbols on which various card numbers are inscribed. In the center is a cup, and the objective of the player is to score by driving the ball into it. If he misses, the ball rolls onto a section representing another card.
The carpet can easily be rolled out on the beach for a rubber at any time.
So it’s played like mini-golf except for the… um?

“a rubber at any time” ???
And when exactly did “Midget Golf” turn into “Mini Golf”?

Rubber as in a rubber of bridge – ie a match, a “best of three” or such.
