I just heard about this. 

Seems like an idea that takes what Top Golf is to business meetings and uses that model for kids' birthday parties. I see Tiger Woods is backing it. Anyone of you Florida folks actually been to one of these? Love to hear a review.

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Cool! I think this is great for a great opportunity for a lot of non-golfer (not just kids) to have an “active” date or night-out with their golfing spouse/family members that may be more do-able than attempting to hit a golf ball with some foreign crooked stick only to whiff it or top it 30 yds. 
 
I’d support anything that promotes golf (that may one day lead to more courses 🙃)

Haven't been as i'm from PA and Jersey is the closest top golf. i think this is an awesome idea, grow the game and get many people involved. i can see plenty of family days or drunken golf here

So, this is outdoor putting courses, correct?

I like the idea but weather in Michigan may prevent them here, too bad.

I prefer this concept to both old school mini golf and Topgolf. On the other hand, depending upon price, does this really "grow" golf? (I assume Topgolf type prices prevail). For example, Topgolf for a family of 4 can easily approach/exceed $200 (golf, drinks and snacks/shareables). Isn't price one of the arguements against golf "accessibility"? An 18 hole round for the same family is normally well under the same price when selecting an affodable course with Youth on Course for kids/teens. Plus you get them off their gadgets and spend a few hours together.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
