Top Golf is a driving range, or basically bowling, except with a golf ball. When you get there, the people show you to your bay and instruct you to hit your balls in the direction of several large holes on the field. The gameplay is fairly simple, you have eight holes that if you get your ball closer to the middle of the large hole, you get more points, also. the further away the hole is, the whole hole has more points. The only way the points are scored is by a tracker in the ball.
After we heard the rules we were somewhat ready to go except with one problem. None of us have ever golfed before.
So as we started we were acting like goofy little goobers who had never seen a golf club before, but as time went on we got a better idea of the game and actually started scoring points. Dad however was whopping those golf balls to the back of the field at 120 mph! So the rest of us had a hard time getting points. We played two games, Mom won the first game with 76 points, and I won the second game with 48 points. We all had a fun time at Top Golf, and will probably come back for another shot.

Timelapse of our first game
Now on a more serious note, about two weeks ago I provided an update on COVID-19, and since then things have worsened. As of August 3rd, 18,500,00 cases and 700,000 deaths have been reported worldwide. In the U.S. about 4,900,000 cases and 160,000 deaths have been reported. In Texas we've reported 462,000 cases and 7,500 deaths, pushing Texas past New York, which was the worst affected state at the beginning of the pandemic. Even here in San Antonio, we've reported 42,000 cases and 350 deaths.
As seen these numbers are increasing drastically and as time goes on this pandemic seems like it'll never end.
This weekend, our family is going on a little getaway, so I'll update my blog soon on that note.
