Play 18 Review

Play 18 Chicago is a golfer's dream in the middle of downtown Chicago!  As you can see from the pictures, the place is really beautifully set up.  I went there for a lesson, and met both Scot and Dave.  Dave was helping me out with the lesson, and showed me some really great drills which had me making much better contact with the ball (and hitting it 15 yards further!) than I did when I came in.

The great thing is that the tips they give you are really more than just tips, they are memory building drills that really get you used to how you should feel when you hit the golf ball.  And we all know that golf is about feel and muscle memory!  Not to mention the cool robot they have there that will teach you exactly what a golf swing should feel like.  Oh, and the video taping and slow motion play back is extremely helpful as well!

They have a really great set up.  Hitting bays with special sensors that tell you everything from ball flight, carry yardage, total yardage, and even spin rate!  Then there are other hitting bays which have actually golf courses that you can play!  There is a bar, pool table, lounge chairs, and even lockers for members to store their clubs in.  Really, really nice.

I can tell this place is going to come in handy, especially on those cold winter nights and hot summer days.  Looking forward to improving my game!
