Birthday Golf

We celebrated Addy’s birthday today with a trip to Top Golf, near Denver. 

Hubby and I were expecting something like an old-school stand-at-the-line-and-swing driving range but this place was crazy cool. 

The building is three stories tall, with approx. 100 bays holding up to 6 golfers each, and state-of-the-art ball tracking on a screen in each bay showing scores, trajectory, speed, hang-time and more on every shot.

There were heaters in the ceiling to combat the chili (high of 50 today - it’s a heatwave!) and comfortable couches on which to enjoy the food and drink service. And the price was reasonable, especially compared to the usual child party venues.

Addy and her buddy, Mel, held their own, golfing almost as well as the adults. There were several times when one of them was in the lead.

Addy loved knowing her ball’s speed after each shot. (56 mph was the top.)

The highlight of the day - for the adults, at least - was when the very drunk guys in the next bay *loudly* joined us in singing happy birthday.

Addy was horrified. 

Sorry, Addy. But it was pretty funny. 

Happiest of birthdays, new teenager.
