Last week’s mystery, “Pink flamingo,” was taken at the Jungle Golf mini-golf course in Myrtle Beach in 1979.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, reported that the flamingo currently isn’t at the golf course, based on a review of Google Maps, and apparently was replaced by a pelican statue sometime between 1979 and 2012. “Perhaps the flamingo got too tired after standing on one foot for so long?” he joked.
“Myrtle Beach is obviously very popular with true golfers, as there are over 80 golf courses in the area. But did you know that, as of 2021, there are 34 miniature golf courses in Myrtle Beach? Who knew?”
Others who correctly identified the flamingo were Jay Altman and Elizabeth Jones, both of Columbia, and George Graf of Palmyra, Va.
