Spring Outing – Top Golf

Let’s gather for an evening social at Top Golf.

Date/Time:  Thursday, May 14th from 5PM-7:00PM

Location: 102 Topgolf Way, Ridgeland, MS 39157

RSVP Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7ZHRQLV

Details:  We have reserved 2 bays that can accomodate 8-10 players comfortably. There will be appetizer plates provided.  Beverages are NOT provided with this package. 

Never done Topgolf?

No problem! Drop in anytime during our reservation. (They like you to check in at the front desk first.) They provide golf clubs but you are allowed to bring your own. Many folks do! Each bay has a sitting area for your group with TV to select and watch sports or whatever. You can hit a few balls or not, it’s up to you! Topgolf has an 18 hole putt putt course out front. I think it costs only a few bucks and is not included in our package. But it’s really fun!
