Sort of Mobile Payment at the Range

[nevets88]

I was at the range and someone noticed I paid cashed and asked if he could Venmo me $10 while I gave him $10 in cash so he could use it to pay for his bucket. That's a first for me. Which got me thinking, a range ball machine where I could do like the Apple Pay thing would be extremely convenient. That's all, just a stream of conscious thought.

They have them.

I'm somewhat surprised Apple isn't pushing Apple Pay as a "contactless" way to pay a bit more. Maybe they're trying to be sensitive to the fact that someone might take it as trying to profit off the pandemic or something.

Is it something like this?

I'm just saying they exist.

In many, many forms.

There's a local driving range that has been in existence for 3-4 years now. It's pretty much a self service operation. Of course, they have to cut grass and pick up balls. but to get you on the range is entirely automated. Stick a bucket under the spout on the machine and swipe a card of any type. It is preset to dispense only small buckets. If you want a large bucket, stick one of those under the spout and swipe twice! Easy
