And it was part of that whole sort of interconnected scene there with Rock City and Ruby Falls.
And they built a miniature golf course.
And they said, you know what?
If you like golf, maybe you should try mini golf because it doesn't take very long.
It'll kind of scratch that itch if you're not able to play a real round.
And that's sort of how they marketed it at first.
And they were the first people, I think, to start adding the obstacles, right?
They did, yeah.
And they used, as they were building like the inn and the resort complex, they used some of the construction materials like drain pipes and, you know, barrels and things like that and built them as hazards.
And then because they had this whole like fairytale theme going up there, they also built Rock City.
They were the ones who built Rock City.
And that has like a cool little weird, weird but also very neat fairytale theme kind of hidden throughout.
They added that to their miniature golf course.
So they had these stationary obstacles and hazards that they added.
And then they also added this statuary of cute little, you know, Mother Goose type stuff.
And they actually called the whole thing Tom Thumb Golf.
Tom Thumb, from what I understand, is the earliest recorded English fairy tale character from back in 1621.
And he was a little tiny guy the size of his father's thumb, which is where he got his name.
So it was a pretty appropriate name.
