Do some people use it as a driving range though?  Agree, if just going casually no reason to bring clubs.  

But….people bring their own bowling balls to bowling alleys.

But going to Top Golf is not like buying a bucket of 40 or 80 balls and working on your game.  You are paying by the hour, hte balls suck, the mats suck, etc.  

People bring their own balls to bowling alleys because that's where they compete.  It's also okay to bring your cue to a hall if you are playing seriously.

It’s $60+ an hour so hope no one is using it for a rage too. 

Agreed on bowling alleys…that’s where you play for real.

It's completely different here  everyone takes clubs pretty much . Target practice and it's not 60 an hour here at all

Victoria and Kingston Heath tomorrow.  Can’t wait.  Was 40mph gusts earlier today so here is to hoping it is quiet tomorrow

Photo from my round at St Andrews Beach.  The kangaroos were everywhere.  

The flies down here are terrible.  Spray doesn’t work.  You have like 10 flies buzzing around your face at all times and if you try to just ignore them and let them crawl over your face they try to get into your nose.  I probably lost three shots to those damn flies being so annoying.  Rather have 20mph winds.

It's snowing here
 Meant to play so I'm a bit gutted

Recently took a lesson at Golftec....spent four straight days at the range working on eliminating my slice then played on Monday morning. Drove it better than I ever have. No slice detected at all. Literally added about 40 yards in distance....................aaaaand have been hooked up to a tens unit since and am on day 2 of a steroid pack. Haven't had back pain this bad since my herniated disc issue a few years ago. I'm a fucking idiot, folks!


BUT....it'll all be worth it if I'm driving like this consistently in my league next year. Gonna dominate like early 2000's Tiger Woods out there lol

So the last hole on my epic NZ/Australia golf trip was a quadruple bogey at Royal Melbourne West.  Haha.    Ended with an 89 so it didn't hurt too much.  Probably would have got a bogey or double anyway for an 87 and I am not going to let one bad hole ruin a great round/memory.  Drove into a fairway bunker and my 8 iron couldn't get over the lip twice.  I should have opened the face a little more.

With the PJ show rumors for May, I have Tobacco Road booked the morning of the second Raleigh show. Trying to play Pine Needles the day in between but non-resort guests can’t book until 30 days in advance. If anyone is interested let me know, maybe we can get a PJ group for a round. Not planning on Pinehurst since it’s a 2 day stay minimum and expensive as hell. Rather pay just the green fee at Pine and Tobacco

bootlegger10

Nice.  Don't forget Southern Pines and Mid-Pines if Pine Needles doesn't work.  Pinehurst is $$$.  

I can't commit to anything now, but closer to the date may be interested.  Haven't played Pine Needles, TR or Mid-Pines.

He has to be miserable.  I hope things don’t end badly for him.  Like a race horse with a broken leg.

I kinda forgot he had another back surgery.  Dude should just play this TGL screen golf thing and then wait until he can take a cart on the senior tour.

Majors are overrated.  Harmon won recently.  Wyndham won recently.  And they disappear.   Scottie's 9x win season is much more impressive than Xander's 2 majors this year.  Just how I feel.

Saw an Instagram about Justin Thomas driving a 300 yard green.  Big whoop. Technology making it impossible to hook and slice a driver.

I can hook it

bootlegger10

You can hook it, but you don't practice every day.   The technology allows pros to swing as fast as they possibly want and still have a large margin of error for hit on the club face.
