Breaking Up with Swipe Culture: Why Singles Are Ditching Dating Apps and Putt-ing Themselves Out There IRL

No description available.

Let's be real—swiping left, right, and endlessly scrolling through profiles just isn't cutting it anymore. Young adults today are ditching the digital grind of dating apps and looking for something a little more... real. Instead of relying on clever bios and filtered photos, people are craving authentic, face-to-face connections. And guess what? At Puttshack, we’re here to help you shoot your shot—in person.

In 2024, we kicked off a new way to meet your match with singles mixers and speed dating events across several of our venues. From Atlanta to Chicago, young professionals and fun-loving singles have been putting themselves out there—literally—on our tech-infused mini golf courses. Who needs endless texting when you can tee up a conversation over a round of mini golf and a cocktail in hand?

To elevate these events, we teamed up with organizations like Two Birds Fit, Dallasites101, Match.com, and Jigsaw to bring you the ultimate IRL dating experience. Each event is designed to bring out the fun, flirty, and competitive side of everyone attending. Think icebreaker games, free rounds of mini golf, and full access to our bar and light bites. It’s a night filled with laughs, new connections, and maybe even a date for next weekend.

The love for these events has been real. So, we’re kicking things up a notch in the new year, bringing even more opportunities for you to meet new people, enjoy some laughs, and make genuine connections. Whether you’re putting for love, friendship, or just a great time, Puttshack’s singles events are where the action is at.

So, if you're tired of dead-end DMs and ready to leave dating apps in the digital dust, it’s time to get off the couch, grab a putter, and see where the night takes you. After all, in our venues, you never know who’s waiting at the next hole. Ready to shoot your shot? Keep an eye out for upcoming singles events near you, and let’s make 2025 the year of real connections.
