About to get my butt kicked by my sisters at Berkshire. They both play all the time and are pretty good.

It's hard to imagine a round of golf being miserable, but this did it.

Quote of the day. After losing all of our balls off the tee box. "That's ok. That's why we use the cheap balls."

Callaway supersoft. Golfing with BIL and sister.

I had a terrible first round, but shaved 11 strokes off my score in the second half. It was competitive. The difference in tee boxes amazes me. I had some decent shots but they teed off almost 100 yards ahead of where I did. Not being a long-hitter made it a struggle for me at times. Yep, got beat by my sister!

its a huge facility, 3 stories of driving range bays all done up like an ultralounge adult dave and busters. you rent out a bay for 40$ an hour for up to 6 people. the bay has a high top table or couches and a tv and the scoring system. there is a tee box in each bay with an automated ball dispenser. you crush balls with golf clubs out into the driving range, which has various targets at different distances. the balls have microchips and you get points based on what targets you hit where. there are different games where you cant just hit at any target you want or hit at specific targets in order and you lose points for getting in the wrong hole. drink and food prices seemed standard for joco chain restaurants and was decent to good. they provide you with clubs or you can bring your own. inside they have several bars and restaurant areas as well as billiards and xbox/ps4 video game couches.

so if you go with 5 other guys for a couple hours it's $80/6=$13 per person? that seems pretty cheap

puniraptor · « **Reply #142 on:** July 07, 2015, 03:45:55 PM »

they also have hilarious valet parking and an old guy driving a golf cart shuttle to drive you the 50 ft from your free parking spot to the door if valets arent your thing

Top Golf is just okay. Not sure if I'll go back...

Sorry, I just felt like being the first person in the history of the world to string those particular words together.

I've added Top Golf to my list that includes Dave & Busters, Hooters and various other establishments of their ilk. rough ridin' mall people.
