Smash Putt

For Cory's birthday this year we rounded up a group of friends and went to Smash Putt - a drinking/mini golf extravaganza. Basically some enterprising dudes got together, rented out a giant warehouse, set up a bar in the corner, and created 15 wacky miniature golf holes for adults to enjoy.

There's no rhyme or reason to the course. The holes are all numbered, but you just walk around with a beer and find whatever hole is available. Some holes don't even involve golf clubs. For instance, here we are shooting golf balls at giant metal targets. The point is to make as much noise as possible.

I don't like to brag, but I have to say I'm a pretty good shot

There's also a hole where you try to catapult your ball into a castle, a scratch-and-sniff hole, and one where your ball gets a hole drilled into it.

If you're having a hard time imaging what I mean, check out this succinct video of the experience. It'll be almost like you were there!

Tim's favorite hole was the 70s-style living room where you could stop and play Atari video games. It's hard to tell, but there's a putting green between the table and the couches the boys are sitting on.

Nerds!

Unfortunately for Curtis, who flew in from San Francisco that night, he missed Smash Putt. Well, he at least missed the "putt" part...

Oh Yeah, and Curtis was in town for the weekend too
