Yes sir! Myself and a friend installed a simulator in there and have been doing a league. It’s a 2 man best ball where your “indoor handicap” updates weekly. @chrismarz @Nickygifts and myself have been playing in it.
We go Thursday nights but you can play anytime. Unfortunately their staffing is such that they can only do one night a week. We are working on it but I’ve thought it’s been fun and hopefully if it grows we could get more after work time.
I second this. Ballwin is a bit of a drive for me but i would be interested too if there’s room.
Sounds like a good time. Definitely would be interested in getting involved if you guys get another one going after your current league ends.
Schedule changed for my wife, I can do Thursday nights for the spring semester if we start 6pm+?
Sounds like @jpbncf is in too
I believe Thursday works. This season we have played 4 man 9 holes in ~70~ mins.
If we could get good numbers and concrete 6 guys every Thursday I’m sure ballwin would continue to be willing to stay open one night a week.
If we could get a league of let’s say…16? They may start getting more flexible
Hey folks, several buddies and I are going to be visiting the St. Louis area at the end of the month for my bachelor party. We’re going to the Royal Rumble at The Dome at America’s Center on Saturday night, but that is the only plan we currently have. We’ll be there Thursday, January 27th - Sunday Morning on January 30th. Do you all have any suggestions for places to check out or things to do while we are in town? I appreciate it!
In terms of things to do, don’t come out first, you want to probably be number 20 at the earliest. Also, whatever you do, do not let anyone throw you over the top rope and hit the ground. Other than that good luck in the Rumble!!
Don’t listen to whatever @DivotPatterns says about Normandie. Guy is sick in the head.
I could do a Thursday night here or there
I would be down for this each week too! Does that make 6?
Now incredibly jealous that my bachelor party wasn’t a WWE event.
Maybe time to renew your vows…….
Where are you staying looking for more food and drink or stuff to do in general?
Looking for both. Definitely some good spots to grab some drinks for sure. We are staying at an AirBNB near the Lafayette Square neighborhood.
For one of my friend’s bachelor party we stayed in an AirBnB which was connected to Shady Jack’s. That was an…experience…
Square One brewery is 🤌 and probably the best food menu of the microbrews in town. Might be able to walk from your Airbnb. 21st St brewers bar is the in basement of PW pizza and a great basement, dive bar vibe. Great tap lineup. Also very close. I’m not sure if the Blues are in town but that would be a good option as well.
Lots of option in the Central West End as well, and you can walk over to Clementine’s for ice cream in Lafayette Square.
Just throwing in my 2 cents - this is a TON of fun for anyone on the fence.
I probably can’t be depended on to show up weekly or even every other week (Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts meetings are Thursday night now… awesome) - but when I get a chance I’d love to join you all!
Added bonus is getting a little time on the virtual range looking at some driver stats. As @JDSPGA said - “watching a ball fly doesn’t lie”… but could be a while before then, so it scratches that itch a bit!
McGurk’s is a fun/huge Irish bar not too far from you. The Budweiser Experience is a staple and has been pretty fun the few times I’ve been - if you don’t mind supporting Big Beer (although they have some nice corn can merch!). The Schlafly Tap Room, 4 Hands, and Urban Chesnut are more craft brew options probably a quick uber from you guys.
Now don’t mind me as I duck the tomatoes thrown at me for slipping into STL from the Chicago thread. My fiancee is from STL and our wedding is there so we’ve been exploring the neighborhoods - I’m just trying to help!
