Indoor golf played with a pool cue on a heavily modified pool/snooker table.
Under the baize theres many fine holes like an air-hockey table. A robot arm underneath the table surface will reposition blocks to prevent airflow in various arrangements according to the hole. One pocket could be nominated
for the flag hole or another one drilled at one end.
With the assistance of an overhead projector, a whole minitiature golf course can be sequentially shown on the table, and with the air streams going around various regions of the table it will behave like it has real hills and bunkers.

Pool tables are great, until you put a hole in one. |

Lovely. I think this would work just as well (but harder) without the projector, with the players able to hold hand and faces over the table surface to feel the air pressure, but otherwise putting blind. |

Did I anywhere request shaggy dog puns ? |

That reminds me. I didn't mention the disclaimer to the idea - |

it would probably be easier to put a thousand tiny solenoids under the surface, opening and closing groups of pinholes. |

Would take less programming and less space at least. |
