My group of buddies probably would check it out for fun, I could see us enjoying it. Dont think it would be viewed as solid practise though.

These things are basically limited to the south right? How north could you operate one of these?

I'm above the 45th parallel.  It is rainy, cold, and humid, here for about half the year (seems more like nine months).  We also get ice and snow, but not a whole lot.

There are huge space heaters in the bays

I've been keen to try out Topgolf ever since I heard about it. Looks like a cross between golf and bowling. Also looks like a good way to get younger people into playing golf, since the numbers have been dropping lately. I think I'll be waiting a wee while before one opens anywhere near me though...

I kind of hope maybe those chips in the golf balls there might help lead to something like RFID golf balls for regular golf.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Yeah it would be interesting to know how that technology works. I'm assuming they just use range balls at Topgolf, but would it affect the structural integrity of a 4 or 5 piece ball having a chip in there?

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
