Never understood why people go there outside of a corporate outing.

It sucks for actual golfers and their balls will damage your clubs. Also go about 60% of the distance they should go.

Affluent whites have moved on from top golf. They go to pickleball at Court to Table for “eatertainment”.

It’s just the natural progression. Once they leave the riff raff takes over.

they lay out a bunch of cash and build a big facility and it is nice at first and the staff is good and as time goes on the crowd trickles in and you have shootings in the parking lot and the staff doesn't want to work there anymore and you get bad staff which makes the good clientele leave and then it becomes a shell of what it was but there is still a big loan on the space and it was designed so specialized that no other business can buy it and it creeps along until the plug is pulled


In the late 90s I thought a Dave and Busters would be a hit if it was located close to Tanger on HWY 30 in Gonzales. Now, as an older man, I know this is exactly how it would have gone within 3 years.

This will be the doom of all business if prices keep going up, and business keeps yielding downward. I was at a restaurant that was usually bustling with business, there was only 4 groups there eating. Their price comes out to about 20-25 a person for lunch. Nothing is special about the place. It is not like it is Ruth’s Chris or a Hooters.

Even some fast food restaurants I pass by around lunch are empty. Something is changing economically.

Honestly it needs to be more expensive than it is. It'd keep the riff raff away.

But I’ve never known it to be hood / trashy. Just overpriced. Which I assume would keep the riff raff out.


It’s not in other States, with lower percentages of “usual suspects”

oh, and the riff-raff makes plenty of money selling drugs.
