Manhattan Golf Gym

[dystopia]

I've never heard of this place before.  A 15,000 sq. ft golf hangout in Manhattan.

But this isn't just videogame golf. The brothers Saladino have played up the sport's exclusivity, turning what could be a glorified Bally Total Fitness into a country club of sorts. The lofty bilevel space offers a gleaming, fully equipped workout gym on the first floor; a golf center with wall-to-wall artificial turf on the second floor; and one-on-one personal instruction from fitness pros and golf experts, such as Robert Baker, who's taught top-ranked players and celebrities alike.

None of the services come cheap. Membership, which is limited to 500 people to ensure a rarefied air, runs $5,000 a year. Personal trainers cost $100 to $150 an hour, while golf instructors run $125 to $350 an hour. The entire golf center can be rented out — as it has been already, often by financial-services firms for corporate events — to the tune of $6,000 to $7,000 an evening.

We have a place like that down here.

We got joints like that all over here.  Not as high-brow, mind you.  It's the only we can survive winters.

I wish the one down here was cheaper. I would love to play in a league at one of these places.

"Gime," what the hell is a "gime?"

Well, it's complicated.  But, basically a place where a bunch of dudes with lots of hair on their back, sit around in big pools of water, giving each other a bath.

You can actually spend an enormous amount of money on "home gimes", but I wouldn't recommend it, unless, you're into that sort of thing. NTTAWWT.
