Skip the snack cart, windmills, and any concern for general safety. This spring’s Smash Putt has opted for a dimly-lit SoDo madhouse with a fully stocked bar. Once you’ve flashed your ID and signed the safety waiver, head straight to the drink line and order a Ginger Zelenka. It may not help you putt your ball properly, but having a drink in your system will make shooting a golf-ball bazooka at metal plates and cymbals that much more rewarding. The challenging 15-hole course is designed to leave you scratching your head. Or, in the case of the giant wheel that smells like campfire smoke and grape soda, scratching and sniffing. And there’s more than just putting: Ever tried golf foos ball, or golf skee ball? For a premium, there are also various V.I.P. lounges where you can kick back and get away from the golf madness. Not feeling so rich? Try the “living room hole,” with two couches, shag carpet, and a lovely oak coffee table. But be aware, people may play around you—or try get in on the Atari action on the vintage floor-model TV.
