I'm not going to lie all this time I thought Macros's driving range had something to do with cars and, you know, actual driving.

Fucking English.

Congrats Macros.

Hot damn

it has been nearly four and a half YEARS since I first sat down for a preliminary meeting with the architect for this project.

We finally opened on Sunday 29th August (our wedding anniversary (man my wife loved that :killingme: ))

Is the project finished? Nope, the guys supplying the render for the exterior finish let us down repeatedly, but we had to open.

3 days in, well its the "honeymoon" phase of the business, but we are booming, having to refill the ball dispenser every night so far.
Have moved up plans for the coffee shop, and wifey is seriously considering dropping to a 3/4 day week at the hospital.

Congrats on the grand opening! I'll have to swing by if I ever make it out that way (pun intended).

Really cool Maccy - congratulations and really hope it is a continued success. Just need Padraig, Rory and co to retain the Ryder Cup and get them to bring it over for all to genuflect. Surprised to not see any Anomander Rake stuff all over your logo, mind - maybe a stylised Dragnipur? How about someone in a cow costume providing a live target as well? BTW can the tees be switched for left handed players (like me)?

Shameless plug to get the facebook and instagram engagement up.
we have our prepay cards now (they look pretty fucking cool) and have rolled out our christmas advert. John Lewis christmas ads can fuck off!

Facebook post

Instagram post

it getting colder and things are naturally slowing down, but our only real consistent complaint has been the card machine, its locked to only take £1 at a time, the tipping mechanism gets flustered when people tried the £4/£5 etc so keeping it pre set to £1 just makes life simpler. But peoples banks keep ringing them about all these £1 transactions, ha! so the prepay cards are ideal for that. and hey, great christmas present.

Are you allowed to use Elf for your advertising?

Looks great though, the card looks fab.

Absolutely not I should imagine. My angle is it won't go viral so they won't notice :killingme:

Well we want to build the brand (not in the way Sombra suggests) so ideally when we make adverts wholly our own got internet viral would be a great thing. But I want to look into trademarking etc first.
and we have a shit ton of other stuff to still get sorted.

first gift vouchers out the door this morning, a two edged sword. It increases our revenue during the winter months.....but will it then lead into a downturn in revenue in the new year when people start using their gift cards?

we have give a few out already as sponsoring prizes and stuff at the local golf club, and we can track what card is used when. there's a few that just haven't been used

Isn't it also somewhat common for cards to get lost or forgotten about? Meaning they'll never get used. I know I've found a few gift cards during a move that were years past their expiration date.
