Top Golf Suprise Party

Lately, I have been writing a lot of posts about birthday parties, weddings, and other special occasions but I have been looking toward this party for some time now.

It was time to celebrate Boj's 30 birthday and his wife Jess wanted to do it right. And the only way to celebrate it right was to have a surprise party at Top Golf in Dallas.

In case you don't know, Top Golf is an awesome place where it brings a new dimension to practicing golf by providing the ability to score points and to make practicing a competitive and fun experience. Top Golf encourages and trains players at all skill levels to focus on and make every shot count.

Basically, it is a driving range with a GPS in each ball to determine whose golf ball has gone the most distance. Combining a driving range with darts through the use of RFID tagged golf balls, Top Golf is an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. Way better way to do some golfing in Dallas in the summer than actually trying to hike 18 holes. Plus, they bring beer to you! I haven't tried the food yet, but plan to on my next trip. Everything I saw go by looked pretty good.

About 10 of us arrived a little before 6 at Top Golf so we could surprise Boj and then hit some balls. He and Jess showed up a couple of minutes after 6 and Boj was pretty surprise by everything.

I'm not the world's best golfer, but I did learn a few things while at Top Golf:

1) A two hour wait on a Saturday afternoon is to be expected.
2) A two hour wait on a Saturday afternoon at the Top Golf bar is FUN.
3) Their guacamole is yummy and their beer is ice cold. Keep it coming.
4) You get free mini golf while you wait....but you'll end up staying at the bar instead.
5) If you say you're not a golfer....buy your 3rd beer you'll be swinging away.
6) Watching ladies playing in heels and a skirt is accepted here....hell, it's encouraged!
7) The top level is the place to be.
8) You can play as the night rolls in. Even if it's lightening and pouring rain, you can keep the party going at Top Golf.
9) Go ahead and buy the members card....you're going to end up wanting to play more games than you think. Save some money and accept that you won't have the discipline to stop playing.
10) You can bring your dog!
11) Top Golf is wayyyyy more fun than real golf.

After 3 hours on unlimited golf and drinks, it was time to take the party to Eric and Kristen's house for the after party in Coppell. We stayed there for a couple of hours. The girls talked inside while the guys were outside on the patio being too loud and retelling some horrible yet funny stories.

Boj said that he had a great time and was appreciative that everyone should up. Most importantly, everyone wants to back to Top Golf, but we have to remember that we are drinking on our own dime now.
