A Very U.S. Open Redhook Putt Putt Golf Pub Crawl Sequel

Cue hushed announcer voice, preferably Bill Murray in full Zen mode.

Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. Swiss bartender Josh Hill, wind in his hair, pint in hand, putter trembling with destiny. The crowd holds its breath. The beer gods lean in. Could this be the moment he ascends to the glittering heights of mini-golf immortality and becomes the 2015 U.S. Open Redhook Putt Putt Golf Pub Crawl Champion?

Wait for it…

Clank.

It has hit the cans. It has hit the cans. It has gloriously, righteously, beer-drenchedly hit the damn cans.

And just like that, the dream careens off the rails and into the well-worn turf of pub crawl reality.

But Josh was hardly alone in his heartbreak. Hole-in-ones were scarce on yesterday’s putt-putt pilgrimage across three Tacoma watering holes—The Swiss Restaurant & Pub, Rock The Dock, and The Valley—each transformed into a tiny temple of Redhook-fueled competition. The stakes? Eternal bragging rights, maybe a T-shirt, and the quiet, tingly satisfaction of greatness. The actual results? A lot of near misses, at least one spilled IPA, and several deeply questionable putting stances.

This is not your child’s glow-in-the-dark mall putt-putt. This is Redhook’s Indoor Miniature Golf Pub Crawl, a two-day sud-soaked showdown of concentration, coordination, and just the right amount of buzz. And today—day two—the saga continues.

Here’s your Sunday fairway schedule, lovingly lubricated by Redhook’s finest:
