TopGolf debate

[Froo Shon Tay]

Guys at work are saying it's impossible to hit driver over the back net at Topgolf. We looked up some numbers and we got 220 yards to back net and the net is 150 feet high. How far would you have to drive a ball in order to make it over the net? Is it even possible?

221.

221.

 

That is what our math said... So its possible?

Highest hitting pros go in the 120+ foot height range with their apex happening around 190-200 yards.

The golf balls are chipped aren't they? I would assume that would limit their distance to some degree or they are using controlled flight balls in general. I've only been to TG once and I never tried to purposely hit balls over the net so I am not sure how difficult it would be.

[FairwaysToHeaven]

TG balls are definitely limited when it comes to distance.

 

Can i add to the debate thread and ask if most take their own clubs or use the clubs at TG. spoke w a guy who thought taking your own clubs was a db move. i'm of the opinion using their clubs says 'i've never played golf in my life and don't own clubs.'

[CHuntsman]

I've tried many of times, negative ghost rider for me anyways. 3/4 the way up the net on my best.

 

 

I definitely take my clubs. 56*, PW, 8, 6, and 4. I use their driver if we are just messing around. Can hit any target with those instead of bringing my whole bag in.

I worked at a TG for a summer and balls definitely went over. Usually were on 2nd or 3rd story, which adds about 15yrds of distance per shot we estimated as employees & about 10 yards of height for each level. So say you're on level 3 you're starting with an extra 30 yards and lets round up to 25 yards extra in elevation. So combined with average peak Apex of around 30 yards you're already above the net easily.

 

Now you just have to peak at around 220 yards which doesn't sound absurd to me either.

I've put it over the net at one. If you hit it a decent length and intentionally hit it high it is doable. Doesn't gain you anything though.

Here’s me taking the crappy house hybrid 310 yards according to their computer over the back net.
