Baltimore Hundred on Fenwick Island in Sussex County, Delaware — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Australia
The smallest, flattest and driest continent on earth is about the same size as the United States. Settled 200 Years ago by a contingent of outcasts and criminals from Great Britain, Australia is now populated by 16 million "ockers" and ten times as many "jumbucks".
Here at "Golf Down Under" we hove all you "yanks" will have a "bonzer" time as you journey through its "outback". "Make a good fist", for this game is "dinki-di", and watch out for the "wombats and dingoes" along the way. Most of all, beware the "billabong", which has been the end of many a good "ocker".
Erected by Golf Down Under, Nick's Mini Golf.
