BALLS IN HOLES—Imagine if instead of creating death rays or moon-slicing laser beams, a mad scientist turned his sights to mini golf and constructed the world’s most insane mini golf course in a Burnside warehouse. Ball cannons! Chopping things! He’d christen it Smash Putt, add a bar, and open for just six weeks. Oh wait, this is actually happening!* SM
