Golfers, get ready to practice your short game: A 29,000-sqft indoor golf complex is set to open this fall in South Nashville.
The Putting Zone, coming to 3040 Sidco Dr., is designed for players of all levels and combines “golf entertainment, skill development, and competitive play.” The facility will feature an 18-hole, par 72 putting course replicating outdoor conditions — meaning it’s “game on” all year, no matter the weather.
Memberships, leagues, tournaments, and daily walk-ins

A really good beanie. With 4,000+ five-star reviews, this warm winter beanie is a favorite for a reason: the inside is lined with satin, which absorbs less moisture and causes less friction than other materials, keeping hair nourished and frizz-free.
