Tuesday Social Walk + Optional Topgolf
# Stop Scrolling. Start Living.
Sometimes the best way to meet new people is simple **get out of the house and do something in real life.** With weather still unpredictable, we’re keeping this one simple **we’ll be walking indoor or outdoor at Polaris.**
Most people who attend often come alone. **This is a casual social walk designed to meet new people.**
No awkward networking. No pressure.
Just walking, talking, and good company.
Whether you're new to the group or a regular, this is a great way to **get some steps in, meet new people, and do something different on a Tuesday evening.**
Location
**Polaris Fashion Place**
**Meeting Spot:** Outside or just inside **"Dicks Main entrance"** from parking lot
Look for the **Meetup sign and green or gold wristbands.**
The Plan
**Meetup / Check-in**
Arrive, say hello, meet a few people, and get checked in.
*The first 15 minutes are usually the best time to meet people before we start walking.*
**Walk Starts**
We’ll begin a **casual indoor or outdoor social walk around Polaris Mall.**
by the end of the hour we should be near 3 miles approx. 6k steps
**Walk Ends**
Anyone who wants to keep the fun going can join us for Topgolf.
**Optional Activity** After
We’ll head over to **Topgolf**
No golf experience needed — **beginners welcome.**
**Let’s** **see your best Happy Gilmore swing!!!**
To reduce no-shows and keep events sustainable:
**$2 — Walk RSVP**
**$15 — Optional Topgolf add-on**
or **$17 TOTAL**
Topgolf is **limited to the first 6 paid players per bay.**
If the first bay fills, I’ll open another lane if enough people want to join.
**To keep group sizes manageable and reduce no-shows, this event is limited to paid attendees. RSVP alone does not reserve a spot.**
Use payment link in comments to confirm your reservation.
Even if only 1 person signs up and confirms their rsvp the event will happen!
**Important**
RSVP alone **does not guarantee a spot.**
Paid attendees receive:
• Event wristband
• Guaranteed Topgolf spot (if purchased)
• Inclusion in group activities
Why These Events Exist
Wise Unlimited events exist to help people:
• meet new friends
• get off their phones
• **do more things in real life**
Too many people **want to go do things** but **don’t want to go alone.**
This solves that.
**Stop scrolling. Start doing stuff.**
