I am sure this will be a popular feature for many (most ?) WGT players. I, however, am so old school that I look at this goal and achievement tomfoolery with a jaded eye.
Awards of stars, banners, handshakes, magical clothing may be all the rage, but I am here for the rather boring plain vanilla golf. Coin rooms or shoot outs or driving range games (without the buckets of beer that you can actually get at a Topgolf facility) are a great addition in that it shows that the people heading up the WGT division of Topgolf are trying to innovate.
Perhaps I read too much into these advances coming to WGT; but I see it as another step closer to the world of TikTok and Instagram. "Users are only here for a second and if they can't find entertainment in that second, they will leave. Let's do anything to hook them because it is all about the numbers. Got to grow exponentially. "
As I say, I'm an old goat who remembers Hogan and Snead (both Sam and J.C.) and reveres the game of golf that they played.
