BERWYN, Ill (WGN<\/a>) \u2014 While two plus two does equal four, mini golf plus pub crawl in the southwest suburbs also equals fun in the name of showcasing local businesses, with a caveat to add some competitive spirit.<\/p>\n Melissa Granat is the owner of Godson\u2019s in Berwyn. On Sunday, she walked WGN-TV through her team\u2019s pride and joy \u2014 the Twisted Putter Trophy. The award is given to the \u201cbest and most creative\u201d mini-golf hole at the Depot District Mini-Golf Pub Crawl.<\/p>\n \u201cIt makes me happy \u2026 [it] makes everyone that comes in here have a good time,\u201d Granat said. \u201cI don\u2019t get to make the decision of who wins, so it\u2019s solely on the golfers that participate.\u201d<\/p>\n Their design is very Berwyn. Long-time businesses, well-known icons like the car Spindel, and the popular Route 66 are all included in their hole on the crawl.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just a good day to get out in the afternoon,\u201d said Eddie Wilkowski, owner of The Garage Smokehouse and Bar. \u201cIt\u2019s just a good community event to get people out and about.\u201d<\/p>\n Wilkowski\u2019s submission for the crawl came via family ties. His nephew, a Purdue engineering graduate who was named as one of Indiana\u2019s top 30 under 30 engineers, came to Wilkowski\u2019s restaurant and put his skills to work designing a mini-golf hole.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery time is different. It\u2019s all about the way you hit it,\u201d Wilkowski said, giving the Garage Smokehouse hole a test run.<\/p>\n Other awards are given out at the event as well. Individuals and teams can also take home trophies for creative costumes.<\/p>\n The Berwyn Development Corporation is the organizer behind the event, and they see the crawl as a way to highlight the community\u2019s tenacious spirit, while also celebrating warmer weather on the horizon.<\/p>\n \u201cOur community is very resilient, always has been,\u201d said Jousef Mondragon, vice president of economic development at BDC. \u201cThis is a way of celebrating the season, but also being able to get new establishments into the fold as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Those who are interested in participating in the Depot District Mini-Golf Pub Crawl can register online<\/a> or in person at 3322 South Oak Park Avenue on the second floor.<\/p>\n Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
