Philadelphia golf simulator space allows angry Eagles fans to blow off steam by hitting golf balls at offensive coordinator’s face
Though golf can fray everyone's nerves from time to time (OK, most of the time), it also allows us to blow off some steam, or, at the very least, redirect it at inanimate object. The Golf Place, an indoor golf simulator facility near Philadelphia, gets that and is now offering disgruntled Eagles fans an opportunity to process their emotions following Sunday’s Wild Card loss to San Francisco 49ers by ripping a couple stingers into a picture of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo’s face. Check it out.
Now you can work on your baby draw and take out your gridiron angst at the same time. Talk about two birds (ahem), one stone. We can’t blame Eagles fans either. After hanging 40 on the Kansas City Chiefs during Super LIX last February, the Eagles offense never clicked this season, averaging just over 311 yards a game, just behind the 6-11 New Orleans Saints. During Sunday’s home Wild Card loss, the Birds mustered just 19 points, averaging 4.3 yards per play. After the game, video emerged of quarterback Jalen Hurts seemingly in disbelief over Patullo’s play call on the failed 4th down that ultimately ended the Eagles’ season.
“It was a fun way to let off some steam, but also make it fun for everybody involved,” said co-owner Justin Hepler told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “And obviously Killian in the video [which has now racked up over 44,000 views on Instagram] is a diehard Eagles fan, so he was pretty upset. But, everybody in here has gotten a kick out it.”
Earlier in the season, some Eagles fans even egged Patullo’s home, but if you ask us, The Golf Place is offering a much healthier alternative. So save those jumbo whites for breakfast and book a session in one of their simulator bays instead. Something tells us both your heart and swing we’ll be feeling better in no time.
