Gentlemen,
What's with this "Top Golf" rubbish! Golf is an outdoor pastime where you vie with nature and your own frailties to try and accomplish the onerous task of getting a wee ball into a slightly larger hole.
I want and love the landscapes, the weather, the vistas, the quietude and the challenge. I cannot imagine why anyone would swan off and bash balls into some sort of computer generated piece of shit whilst in the background patrons guzzle interminable beers and listen to crappy, loud music.
Golf for me is about internal challenges which need focus, patience and a "... perfect sense of equilibrium.... between the player with his instrument and Nature." It is not about a raucous mob trying to outdo their frenetic mates and whack their ball into the virtual blue yonder.
I want tp be able to traverse a piece of ground where I am divorced from reality; the mundane world of bellowing boozers is forgotten. I enter a realm where reality is suspended and I can partially submerge myself in a relatively transcendental state of mind! This to my way of thinking cannot happen in a den of iniquity provided by the likes of "Top Golf".
Where in that environment can you quietly reflect upon the shot just played and conjure up in your mind's eye how the the next one may despatched? Eh! I ask you! Give me the whispering breezes across the linksland, the cackling of the kookaburra as yer golf swing disintegrates, the egg-shell blue and salmon-pink skies as the evening draws in as you wander down the last fairway of the day.
I feel so much better now!
Cheers Colin
