Let’s be honest, none of us is the next Tiger Woods. In fact, most of us are lucky if we can consistently hit the ball further than the tee.
But hey, you don’t need to qualify for The Masters at the Augusta National to enjoy this sport! Heck, you don’t even need to be outdoors!
To prove it, our staff spent four weeks exploring the wonderfully weird world of London’s indoor golf, where the drinks are strong, and the scores are even higher! Join us in embracing the glorious absurdity of knocking a tiny white ball around in a giant room.
