TopGolf Gamecentre

Just caught this in Wired magazine - a driving range for the digital age. TopGolf is not a virtual range or anything like that; it just uses golf balls embedded with RFID chips to track your distance and accuracy. You just need to hit it into of the 10 ’scoring zones’. TopGolf is also a game - you score points based on those factors. If you’re in England, there are already a bunch of TopGolf gamecentres, as they are called. In the US, the only location is currently in Washington, DC. Stay tuned for locations in Dallas and Chicago this year.
