We have some news to make you feel like you just scored a hole-in-one. Topgolf announced its plans to build a new site in Canton, making it the first-of-its-kind in Massachusetts.

The new location will be located along Dedham Street and I-95, which makes it approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Boston.

Prospective golfers can expect the following features from the completed project:
  • Play in one of 90 climate-controlled hitting bays spread across three levels.
  • Topgolf’s signature “Toptracer” technology, enabling players to track ball speed, distance, and height.
  • New job opportunities since Topgolf expects that ~400 playmakers will be needed to run the facility.
Too excited to wait? Topgolf Live, which was previously held in Boston in 2021, has returned to Fenway Park through Wednesday, Nov. 9. Note: Only spectator tickets remain at this point. ⛳️

Today’s issue was written by Jessica.

Editor’s pick: I know pickles are a big dill and I love to crunch on one for a snack, but I’m not sure how to feel about this pickle cotton candy now available at Mamaleh’s Delicatessen inside High Street Place. 🥒 Do you think it will be sweet or savory?
