Manhattan MEGAPutt is a citywide game of mini-golf, played on a grand scale. Invented by Dave Warth and Dustin D’Addato, two veterans of the New York underground comedy and improv scenes, MEGAPutt will take teams of three through a madcap route celebrating New York’s east village, and the sport, nay, the art, that is Mini Golf. Beginning at the Bluestockings, MMP will keep its players excited and on their toes with constant hazards designed especially for the players, as well as those an ever-shifting urban landscape will provide. It promises to be a ton of fun!
There will be official rules pertaining to each hole on the day of the game, however, here are some basic guidelines to follow.
- BE CAREFUL. MEGAPutt should be a ton of fun, but it’ll be a lot less so if you should happen to run into something or someone pointy.
- By playing you assume all risks that one might reasonably assume to encounter playing a game of mini putt on city streets. We’ll have people there to try to help, but they can’t keep you safe if you run into the street or the aforementioned pointy things.
- Never raise your club above waist height and always check behind you before swinging. Your ref may impose stroke penalties at his or her discretion if you fail to keep this in mind.
- Be cool, and try to keep your ball out of the street on street holes. Should it go into the street accidentally, you may recover it without penalty. Do not play balls in the street, and wait for traffic to clear before recovering. If you do not feel you can safely recover your ball, or if your ball gets ruined by a passing car or pointy thing, your ref will have extras.
