Cheers for the sensible replies. Cheers for the sarcastic comments.

Top Golf is a bit of fun, but I don't think I'd ever have the time to devote 3 hours to a round.

Perhaps a pro for you, but a con for every non-golfer:

You'll be able to drone on endlessly about your clubs and technical pros and cons of various technologies (steel vs. graphite), also ridicule other older members of the club, talk about your wrist action and shaft length among people who will nod sagely and discuss your handicap. You get to wear silly clothes and white socks and get to spend a huge amount of money on useless bits of metal and plastic.

The list is endless, but in short, you'll become even more of a boring bastard than you are now. But can mix with people who think it's all terribly interesting and meaningful.

Finally you don't have to listen to your missus yapping on Sundays because you be at the club. She meanwhile can take a lover to spice up her life which she'll need as her husband is such a boring old fart.

HTH

Playing off a good handicap then?

Revealing. So in summary you have no sporting capability at all or any clue about golf and are scared that your missus will shack up with the postman if you spend sunday with your 'mates'.

I have no time for golf or golfers. Sorry if my post was ambiguous on this point.

It's probably a good idea to get some coaching first too. Group lessons etc can be quite cheap, local golf club pro for a quick course of lessons, about 50 quid is a good ides.

Custom fitted clubs are also a good idea. Again local club pro should be able to fit you for right sizes, esp grip size, shaft length/flex, swing weight, lie angle.

I am a semi pro golfer.


Dress and have clubs like a pro... play like an amateur.

Good enough to beat dodgy agent though.
