Date Night: Golf and Grill

2011-02-28T18:00:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I blogged, but just thought I would try and update every once in a while. This past week, we started off date night with going to the golf range. We went to The Lakes at El Segundo golf course to hit balls together at the golf range. It was a lot of fun and something different for us. You can find a golf course near you, and usually the prices for the range balls are the same. The pricing goes from $4 for a small bucket to $8 for a large bucket. Also, the golf course had free loaner clubs, so we didn't even have to have our own (which we don't). We got a large bucket and shared between the two of us, which lasted for maybe 1/2 hour to an hour.

We then stayed in the same area and went to the Malibu Fish Grill to eat. The prices are decent, actually pretty cheap for seafood, and the food is good!

Approximate date cost: Large Bucket of Golf Balls at Range ($8) + Loaner Golf Clubs ($0) + Seafood Dinner (~$20 for 2 entrees) = ~$28
