Not much tiki, but here's another article about Schmudde: Evening Independent - Jun 8, 1970 Minature Golf Course Work is Scheduled Work is scheduled to begin this week on an 18 hole miniature golf course at 19811 Gulf Blvd., Indian Rocks Beach South Shores. The course, "Around the World in 18 Holes," is owned by Thomas E. Groves of Redington Shores and James R. Feimster, owner of the Casa Chica Motel in South Shores. Estimated cost of the development is $50,000 and work is to take 30 to 45 days, depending on the weather. Among the attractions will be golf holes with a Japanese bridge, pagoda, Viking ship, Indian Teepee, lighthouse, Sphinx, Windmill, castle and prehistoric animals. There will be parking for 42 cars with room to add more if necessary. The course was designed by Frank Schmudde of South Shores who has done work for the Hawaiian Village in Tampa and for Busch Gardens. Wonder if there was an Easter Island or South Pacific hole???? |
