In 1966, Putt Putt Golf Courses released an album called “Putt Putt Golf Courses of America presents Gee Gee Shinn and his Band.” The album contains sixteen songs. The album cover has two photographs showing the eight member band in the middle of a Putt Putt Golf course. In one photo, the band is joined by twelve young women with the hair stylings and clothes of the period.
