. "8"^^ . "So it looks like I have a new favorite place in the universe. \n\nWhile I'm a loud and vocal proponent of all things mini-golf, I had never before stepped foot onto a driving range. I don't know what I was doing with the past 35 years of my life, but I do know it all sucked compared to my time at Topgolf. This place is the shiz.\n\nWhen we arrived we were escorted to our reserved stations, which had climate-controlled couch seating in the back, and some pretty dang high-tech tees up in the front. The system is able to scan a sensor in your golf ball and if you hit one of their targets, you get points! Matt Fact: I LOVE POINTS! It's my philosophy that everything in life is a competition, some more obvious than others. If I'm able to objectively show that I scored more points than somebody else, then I'm having a pretty great day. \n\nWhile waiting for your turn, you can hang back with pretty good food and drink, brought to you be a server. I was particularly fond of the Palomas, and all of the bites I sampled were tasty. \n\nThis would be a great date, double date, friend outing, or company team builder. I can't wait until they open a location closer to my home in Portland."^^ . "9"^^ . . "5"^^ . . "7"^^ . "2016-03-22T00:00:00"^^ .
