America's Next Top Golfer

Erin and Cory introduced us to the magical world of Top Golf this past weekend. While they explained it by saying it was like bowling only using a club to hit a golf ball into various targets on a driving range, I still expected it to be much more argyle-sock-knicker-wearing than it was (RIP Payne Stewart). I wasn't at all any good and I'm not too ashamed to admit that I totally whiffed multiple times. I forgot my glove at home...otherwise I would've been an all-star, obviously.

 

This game was so addictive. Your golf ball has a microchip in it to track where it lands and how many points you get. Genius. Jeff and Cory initially took it far too seriously and tried to wack the ball as far as they could.

 

They quickly changed their strategy when Erin and I scored more points than them on the first round by haphazardly and awkwardly knocking our balls onto the green from our perch on the third level and hoping they rolled into a target. They did, and we scored lots of our points that way. Note: Do not mistakenly read that sentence to say "lots of points."

They even serve food and alcohol (full bar!) right at your table while you play. Unfortunately, my golfing got worse the more I drank. But it really felt like I was getting better with each sip and swing...

Really having fun...and not talking about the Miller's upcoming move to Hotlanta

Despite the fact that there were 5-year-old girls out there kicking my butt, I really want to go back and play again. Jeff was dragging me out of there at 1am. Who would've thought?
