Top Golf

How would you want to spend your best friend's 29th birthday who is obsessed with everything golf related? You go to Top Golf of course.

What is Top Golf? Just about the coolest place in the world, that is what Top Golf is!

Top Golf is a driving range that is like a giant dart board. People hit golf balls that are equipped with a GPS to one of the holes in the field. The closer you get to one of the holes, the more points you will receive. This place is in The Hall of Fame of Awesome for being, well, pretty damn awesome.

Ogle and his wife invited a bunch of people out to go to Top Golf Dallas for his birthday. And in order to celebrate his last year in his twenties, they had reserved the Executive Suite on the second balcony with couches, heaters, tables, and chairs (oh my).

We arrived at this huge outdoor arena around 5 and immediately started to hit some golf balls. At my station, my opponents were Trl, Billy, Colin, and Dusty while at the other station was Ogle, Ryan, Cesar, and some other guy who I think was Chad. And guess what, I was certifiable bad ass that night by not only winning the game, but being the only one to get a hole in one.

As we were working hard on perfecting our golf swing, the ladies (either wives, girlfriends, or fiances of the men) were doing something very important: drinking. It was a tough job to do, but those ladies did it in style. I have seen a group of ladies drink a lot of beer while talking about how to lower mortgage payments by a grand and then using the savings to go to Cabo for a week vacation.

To be fair, the hole in one was a complete accident. As I said before, each ball has a GPS in it and in order to activate it, you had to drop in a hole. At one point of the evening, I hit the ball as hard as I could and instead of the ball soaring in front of me like it should have, it went straight up in the air and right into the activation hole. It may not be an official hole in one, but it was still a hole in one in my book.

The party went on until 10 and everyone had a blast. There was plenty of pizza, hamburgers, fries, sandwiches, and beer for everyone to enjoy and to take home as well. This was clearly a great place to have a birthday party.
