BYOB — Bring Your Own Balls.

A Downtown Brooklyn business improvement district is looking for a vendor to bring mini-golf to the neighborhood — letting players booze while they putt and play for free if they bring their own equipment.

The Fulton Mall Improvement Association put out a request for proposals, due on Friday, for a course at Albee Square Plaza on DeKalb Avenue between Fulton and Bond streets.

The course would take up only 20 percent of the plaza and would not be permanent, according to the RFP.

Since the plaza is a public space, the next Tiger Woods could play for free with their own putter and balls, the document states.

Those who don't have their own equipment would still be able to rent at the plaza.

Players could also get tipsy while teeing off if the concessionaires receive approval from the State Liquor Authority to sell beer and wine in recyclable cups, according to the RFP.

The miniature golf will join two other courses in the borough — one in Bushwick and one on Flatbush Avenue, near Marine Park.
