Pit Bull Terriers

NoVA Furbowls & More is BACK with our first excursion since last summer: TOP GOLF! Top golf basically brings the thrill and approachability of bowling to golf with easy-to-hit clubs and several games to choose from. There are waiters who bring food to your bay so you can keep golfing while you wait for your food. PLEASE RSVP if you plan to attend because we need to reserve the bays in advance. We cannot guarantee that people who RSVP in the last 2 days will have a bay 🧸 FURSUITING: Allowed, but preferably just partials. I have fursuited here. Keep in mind golfing in suit is harder than bowling in suit, and that we probably won’t have a lot of space to keep totes. 💵 COST: $10 for golf (2 hrs) + $5 one-time registration fee + any food you order + 25% for tax and tip In other words: -$15 if it’s your first time -$10 if you’ve done top golf before You can pay either of these amounts in advance to Chester using his linktree: [Pay here](linktr.ee/chesterpup) ⚠️ PLEASE put your furry/telegram name in your payment comment on whatever payment option you choose ESPECIALLY if your account is associated with a deadname so we don’t have to look for which payments belong to whom If you order a LOT of food, I will ask to have your food on a separate card. ⏰ SCHEDULE: 7:00 please arrive 7:30 golfing starts 9:30 topgolf ends, but people can continue playing with their own money Hope to see you there!

We meet typically from 12:15 to 1:15 PM on the second and fourth Fridays of the month in Conference Room 2E908 at the National Cancer Institute http://gene.toastmastersclubs.org/ For details on Directions and Security Check-in: http://gene.toastmastersclubs.org/directions.html
