Home on the Range

TopGolf USA Driving Range

Ever roll your eyes when your significant other hesitantly asks you to go hit golf balls with him on a Sunday afternoon?

Well, we suggest you grin and bear it if it’s TopGolf he invites you to play.

Here’s the long and short of it: Imagine a typical driving range (like Dad used to go to), except the beautifully manicured greens you are aiming at have computerized sensors providing instant feedback on how good/not so good your shot was. After each player hits twenty real golf balls with real clubs, the one with the highest score wins.

Throw in some beer and popcorn and you’ve got the makings of a fun and leisurely afternoon outside.

We like to think of it as a fresh alternative to bowling.

Sure beats those dark and dingy alleys anyway.
