Practicing our golf lessons at Top Golf

Saturday, Tiffany, Steve and I decided to go to Top Golf.
We received a loaner car from Chevrolet of our exact Tahoe that we bought but just not in our color. I'll start this post by saying that this is the first time in months that I woke up LATER than Steve. He was SO excited to drive that thing! Seriously. He was like a kid at Christmas. It was unbelievable...but cute.

So we spent a few hours at Top Golf and it was so fun. I love that we are taking these golf lessons because I really feel like I've improved a million times over.
Top Golf has to be one of the coolest driving ranges in the world. The downside, is that there are THREE in the United States. Seriously. It is different from a normal driving range.
First, it's a little more expensive than your run of the mill driving range. Second, they have servers that serve you food and beer and an full menu! There mozzarella sticks tasted incredible to this pregnant lady.
They also have these microchips that are in the golf balls so that when you get your bucket of balls, YOUR balls are programmed with YOUR name and information. Genius! So, when you are up at the tee, you drop your golf ball from your bucket down the hole in the plastic bin next to the tee and voila! Your score is being recorded.
In this picture below, you'll see Tiffany up at the tee ready to swing. You may be wondering what the little crop circle-looking colored things are in the field. They are targets for us to hit at.
So, when your ball hits any of the targets, it records your information, like how far the ball went and depending on where in the target it hit, you get a score. To keep track of all your scores, each bay (the thing you sit in by your tee) has a computer screen that does the math for you. How cool is that??
So, each game is 20 balls and you can win games by hitting a certain target on your 11th ball or different things like that. this place is so cool I can't believe that there aren't a million more all over the country. Apparently, they only have one in Alexandria, one in Chicago and one in Dallas. Someone needs to work on getting them in more locations. Oh well, I guess I can't complain since I can at least drive 30 minutes to one.
So, anyway, we had a fin day at Top Golf, and then Tiffany and I went to play a 9 hole course by our houses where we were stalked by a fox on hole #1. No lie. It was kinda scary.
I don't have pictures of that since I had left my camera in the car but I'll leave you with a few more from Top Golf. We'll be sure to be back again soon.
This was Steve and I sitting in our bay. It's cool cause you can chill and watch your other player hit their balls and eat or drink and then you are up. It's kind of like the bowling version of golf.
Steve can seriously hit the ball soooo far. His balls just always curve to the right.
He looks like a professional to me!
I, on the other hand, can hit straight but not far at all. I don't know which problem I'd rather have.
And, lastly, I have a video of Tiffany swinging a horrible shot but I have to figure out how to post a video. I'll try to figure that out now.
