21 interesting photos from Tiger Woods’ PopStroke mini golf course in Arizona

Published

on

Back in March 2023, Tiger Woods’ new PopStroke 36-hole mini golf course in Glendale, Arizona, opened for business.

The facility – which is located in Glendale’s Westgate Entertainment District – has two mini golf courses (Red and Black), made from synthetic turf, as well as a double-decker bar and restaurant, an outdoor game center, a pro shop filled with merchandise and putter rentals, an ice cream parlor, and a kids playground.

The PopStroke company is co-owned by Woods, and it was founded in 2018 as a technology-infused golf entertainment venture. So far, the company has open mini golf facilities in Florida (Fort Myers, Sarasota, Orlando, Tampa, and Port St. Lucie), Texas (Houston), and Arizona (Glendale). As per the company’s website, there are also four new courses coming in 2023 (Nashville, Scottsdale, Las Vegas, and Tuscaloosa) in addition to nine more locations coming in 2024.

“Tiger Woods has had the most significant impact in growing the game of golf around the world and his investment and partnership in PopStroke will undoubtedly introduce the game to a new and wider audience of participants,” said PopStroke founder Greg Bartoli.

Bartoli was right. The Woods connection hooked me in, and I recently visited the new PopStroke in Glendale to see what the experience was like for myself.

And I brought my camera along for the ride.

All of my photos can be found in our GolfWRX Forums here, but I’ll highlight my 21 most notable photos below as I take you on a tour of PopStroke in Glendale.

    Great review. Was there with a group of 8 back in March and thought it was very well executed and a good 2.5 hours of fun. We live in Nashville, and one has been announced for 24 which will be well received.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
