I beat Top Golf’s social media team to posting it by 45mins, but theirs wasn’t taken from the M1 so it’s a little clearer than my shot haha

From the good folks that brought you GL and a Joker Head from hell we now have Top Golf! Looks great

I predict a new argument from the residents across the M1 - using the same arguments as Apple when they introduced 'night mode' on their devices that blue light is bad for sleep rhythms.

I wonder if there'll be more complaints or if they gave up after the Joker head.

...looks like the grass (AstroTurf?) is going in. The news organisations were media called to Top Golf today.

Negative - although I do think a trip down soon is due once when the weather clears. 

The netting has been fully installed, and the Topgolf sign has been replaced for the Commonweslth Games

I like that clealy comm games can't afford the entire wall. That looks well shit being two colours.

It's not even centred well on the side they were given.

I really hope that they are continuing the darker blue across, because the text isnt even centred, surely they wouldn't mess up that badly

It’s half completed being done in panels. Was the same down the coast at the indoor arenas 

Unless you’ve seen it, it’s hard to fathom how high the netting actually is.

 

Also, from the DC Rivals lift hill, you can see that the front half of the turf is in, the back half (nearer the M1) is smaller and won’t take long to do.

I'm willing to bet money that I can loft a slice over that netting. I've hit many a parallel fairway over the trees!!

Oh I suspect someone might try it first week, but I reckon they'd be ejected for it. There'll be a camera at every tee.

You misunderstand me. I won't be trying to do it. It just happens! haha

I don’t think you can be ejected for clearing the nets. There’s someone in every group that gives it a go. As for cameras, each booth may have one but that would purely be for review purposes in the case of an issue, no one is going to be sitting there watching the cameras for people trying to do Happy Gilmore swings 

They’ve finished the wall for the commonwealth games now, much better (Photo TPSN)

So today i found out from a coworker that TG has already started shopping round for it's Sydney location. He said that he recently got a letterbox drop about it cause it's going to be near his house to some degree (i have no idea of his area). Also being an avid golfer, he also heard chatter around his course about some second location. Not sure of the credibility of it, but it shows something may be in the pipelines down here.

Drove back from the coast after the Tim Minchin concert last night. 

That stands out so brilliantly, without being blinding. Heading north, it "hovers" above the highway. 

I don't think the Joker was illuminated last night though (was during the day). It was about 9.40pm when we passed by.

Was lit up when I drove past at 9:15pm...  I did note they had a function on Sunday night so unless someone flicked the wrong switch packing up  

For those interested, Top Golf has released pricing ahead of their opening.

Prices are per hour, per bay, with up to 6 people allowed to play per bay, so the more playing a bay the cheaper cost per head.

$5 membership fee must be paid once per person to register your shots 

Mon-Thurs 

open til 5pm - $55 per bay 

5pm til close - $65 per bay 

 

Fri - Sun

open til 2pm - $70 per bay 

2pm til close - $80 per bay 

Cue complaining from people who don't have friends to split the cost..

That's actually a really great cost. For people with no friends and a little extra cash, It's definitely not a stretch to pay that and just smash balls on your own for half a day
