Smash Putt!

I hadn't been to putt-putt golf since Billy Taylor's stuffy birthday party in fourth grade—until last weekend, when those metal-working freaks at HazardFactory (they of constant calluses, Band-Aids, and singed eyebrows) opened their appropriately named Smash Putt! The temporary nine-hole warehouse course isn't just loud and fun and drinky: It's also witty. (Hole number one, "the K-hole," is a joke I won't spoil for you.) Balls get shot out of cannons, skewered by a drill press, ricocheted off a rotating, scooter-powered pad. Everybody there is a little wild-eyed. It's good fun. (Smash Putt! 912 12th Ave, www.smashputt.com. 6 pm–1:30 am, $12.50–$15, 21+. Through Nov 29.) by Brendan Kiley

sorry, folks, it's completely sold out, according to the website. also, you weren't able to order one ticket, you had to buy two or more.

You can, however, get on a waiting list if you show up. You can at the very least grab some alcohol and taunt the other players or plan how you might play a hole.

Went last night with some friends and did just that. I swear, this is the most smiling people I have ever seen at a Seattle event. I think the novelty of miniature golf, which most people haven't played in a while, with danger and smashing golf balls makes it inescapably entertaining. That, and the alcohol.

If you have a ticket, you'll still have to wait hours. Those are the wages of attending an event organized by creative types: they never have the slightest fucking clue how to run things effectively.

Had a great time! It was crowded, but we bought tickets early and there was very little waiting except for hole number two. My impression was that even folks on the waiting list got in in a reasonable time; reasonable as in less than an hour.
