Game:Miniature Pivot Golf

In 1962 the Chicago firm Marvin Glass Associates designed a miniature golf simulation game for the Milton Bradley Company. Golferino resembled a tiny golf course in a box. In 1973 Milton Bradley changed the name and published a second edition, endorsed by television comedienne Lucille Ball, called Pivot Golf. The Glass firm was known for toy creations that utilized the unique properties of plastic. Pivot Golf demonstrates this with its miniature water hazards, a Ferris Wheel, and tiny bridges. The game was carefully designed so that the steel golf ball always returns to the divot that serves as a tee. Add to this a central golfer figure, ready to swing with the push of a plastic lever, and you have...miniature miniature golf!
