Piper’s Heath

I visited here a year ago, and I didn’t want to write this review because I’ve only been here once. However I found myself talking about this place all the time!!! Every time I talk about golf, I talk about this place.
So yes, I’d like to share my experience on Unilocal for all the online users to read!
I have NEVER played golf. Never! So when I was invited to play golf for a company event (like on a course, with, like, bodies of water, tall grass, sand,… people and golf carts), I needed to at least hold a golf club.
I’m not even sure why I chose Piper’s Health. I just needed *a* driving range. But I’m glad I started golf here!
Beginning at the rental location for the clubs, she asked me, «What clubs would you like to rent for tonight?»
My answer was, «There is more than one type of club???» (yes, not only have I never played golf. I know nothing about it) I thought golf clubs just depend on a person’s height (like a ski pole)
After she gave me 3 clubs (driver, an iron, and a wedge), I said, «So I should rent 2 sets of these clubs because my boyfriend should have clubs too.» She replied, «Well, you don’t use all of them at once. So you could just switch.»
Anyways I’m going to stop here. My questions were so lame it’s very embarrassing. But she was so lovely. She taught me to hold and swing the club!!!
She was also very nice, not judgmental, didn’t make me feel stupid at all.
THEN.
SHE SENT AN INSTRUCTOR AFTER ME. (or, she may have told an instructor, who volunteered to go after me)
We were walking to our driving range spot, and this orange-​golf-​shirt man started yelling (conversationally) behind me. He started asking, «So I hear you haven’t golfed before?»
I’m pretty sure there’s no nicer way he could start this conversation, but I wanted to say, «I can’t afford lessons.» Instead, my shyness told me to be nice.
SO FOR THE NEXT 20 MINUTES, HE GAVE ME LESSONS.
I learned:
— to hold the club properly
— that, yes, there indeed are many types of golf clubs. And I should know which club to use based on what I’m trying to achieve.
— how to swing
— how to swing without hitting the ground
Amazing staff here!
He just walked away cheerfully with a, «Good luck tomorrow!»
Didn’t ask if I’m coming back
Didn’t ask if I’m serious about golfing.
Didn’t say, «look for me when you visit again!» or «My rate is.»
Didn’t say I have talent (you know sometimes people say, «wow you’re so gifted! You’re better than a lot of students, you should take lessons!») –also I probably don’t have talent.
The next day (on Golf Day), I performed quite well!!! I was able to hit OVER bodies of water. Given I’ve never played golf
THANKS, PIPER’S!!! I’d love to come back for golf lessons (when I have the money for clubs and lessons!)
