Kids' crazy golf gets an upgrade
Pranksters upgraded a kids' game of crazy golf into a mini-version of The Open complete with caddies, camera crews and a huge crowd.
Improv Everywhere teamed up with ESPN to pull the stunt and surprise young golfers playing at a course on New York's Pier 25.
They even had the real Claret Jug from The Open to present to the winner of the suddenly serious mini-golf contest.
The stunt - which was used to surprise five groups of golfers throughout the day - even featured commentators sitting at a desk and describing the action.

It would take everyones' minds off all the bad news everywhere until one of them slipped and hurt themselves, or someone had a heart attack on the golf course. Or a traffic accident happened nearby. Or a plane fell out of the sky or there was a thunderstorm or tornado. Didn't we used to call this crazy golf? Crazy golf is, without doubt, the best sport I ever found out about.
