Josh Clark

It wasn't something he brainstormed.

Apparently, it was just sort of on a whim.

And it's a name that really, really stuck.

It's kind of brilliant in its simplicity, I think.

Divine inspiration, it almost feels like.

That it just kind of happened on a whim.

That's just absolutely great.

But he started to kind of build the whole thing into like this enormous industry pretty quickly because he was right.

I did the math.

If they made their $5,200 back in 29 days, that means that over that month they had 20,800 paying customers.

It was a quarter a game?

25 cents a game, yeah.

Yeah, that's a lot of people.

And so when they really got together and started Putt-Putt, he was right.

He was on to something, and it started to take off pretty quickly.

Apparently at its peak, when you and I were going to Putt-Putt, they had something like 256 courses throughout the world.

mostly in the U.S.

and Canada, but also in Australia and South Africa and New Zealand.

And it was definitely a thing.

Like you said, all of the holes were par twos, right?
