For a number of years, my favorite driving range facility in Texas has been San Antonio’s Ten Cups facility just down the road from the La Cantera Resort. Owner Dave Fineg hails Ten Cups as “maybe the finest third rate goat pasture in Bexar County” and has used the facility for years to promote his theory that golf should be an enjoyable form of recreation rather than a frustrating obsession.
Urban driving ranges such as Ten Cups are usually interim land uses, and urban encroachment is the reason for Ten Cups’ demise. So, Fineg is taking his “Golf is Fun” seminars on the corporate roadshow circuit and — if this absolutely hilarious spoof on golf club infomercials is any indication — his new endeavor should be a big success.
