Taking your own clubs to Top Golf - douchebag move or not?

    Four couples going tonight. We all play golf, but nobody lives or dies by it.
    One of the guys asked about bringing his own clubs. My opinion is that you'd look a little like Johnny Tryhard.

    We are going for beers, nachos and to hit a few balls.


    Thoughts?

    You're going to Top Golf ... by definition, douchebag move.

    I’ve taken mine before. I didn’t feel like a douche.

    Wait, you don’t bring your own clubs? So Top Golf is more putt putt than driving range?

    No, it's more driving range. I've been a few times. I didn't bring my clubs, but I didn't take it seriously either. If you bring your clubs, so what.

    I’ve never been. Probably would bring my own clubs 1) they aren’t anything special, so I’m not bragging 2) I always assume no one has things for lefties and 3) I probably would because I assume you do at a driving range. As it is, if I’m at a driving range, I either have to flip everything over or stand in all the divots.

    They have them. Last I went we took my nephews day after Christmas and my brother is a lefty. It's expensive, but I've always had fun. We went in Vegas when we had a weekend for a my dad's 70th. And I went a couple of other times.

    I’d say it’s similar to going out to a bar or bowling alley with a couple of pool tables and bringing “a two-piece custom made pool cue.”

    Sounds like more of a social outing, so just use the Top Golf clubs.

    The El Segundo Top Golf is nice - as were the other ones I've been to in Vegas and Sacramento. A tad pricey. Beautiful Saturday summer late evening, and when we left at 7:00, it really wasn't packed.
