Top Golf at Chigwell

At the weekend whilst Tina was catching up on some sleep me and the kiddies decided to head over to Chigwell for our first attempt at Top Golf. The drive over there brought back many memories as I drove past my old Nan Pugh's road and then Hainault Park which we visited many times in our child hood.

We timed the visit perfect and managed to get a box straight away (assuming we went on the ground level, the upper boxes where was a wait of 5 groups). The set-up is pretty cool where you all over your own basket of "chipped" balls which you scan before striking and then get points based on distance and accuracy to the various flags. Holly was given her own set of Junior clubs to use and then within our box there was a normal and light weight set of clubs for the adults to share.

Holly really struggled initially and didn't score in the first round for about her first 10 or so goes. Brandon had a mega slice in the first round which took some adjustments to correct, but by our second game he was hitting some decent shots. Josh was actually pretty good and despite no warm up swings he would often hit the ball pretty straight and a reasonable distance (until he started messing around doing one handed overhead swings he had seen on Tik Tok!).

Anyway I ran away with it smashing them all in the first game. The second I decided to spend the first half of the game going for distance and hardly scored anything due to hooking the ball really badly. Holly was scoring more consistently in the second game but it was Brandon who ran away with things as he really started getting in to the swing of it.

Holly enjoyed Top Golf and has been asking to go gold for ages, but she did struggle to score initially.

Despite poor tekkers Josh hits the ball preet well.

Brandon took a bit of time to make some adjustments to lose a really bad slice.

The power of the big man in action.

Holly perhaps wasn't dressed appropriately for the activity in hand!

Brandon got better and better as the game went on.

Brandon gets the win on the second game with a score of 67.

But Joshua possibly could have won if he didn't mess around doing one handed swings.

Lovely day out, nice lunch, good fun - just a tad expensive for what it is!
