Philly Grommoff - Fun at Puttshack!

Philadelphia
Pennsylvania

Welcome to the event page for our next Philadelphia Grommoff (NOTE: this one is 21+), to be held at:

The BRAND SPANKIN' NEW Puttshack Philadelphia! Within the Shops at Liberty Place at 1625 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19103

It's not just miniature golf!!!!

Get ready to par-tee! YOUR SUGGESTION, Puttshack, is the world’s ONLY tech-infused mini golf experience (your ball keeps track of your score and game progress for you, etc.) and is perfectly suited for the athleticism typically found in a group like ours! ;-) This fresh, new venue takes up an IMPRESSIVE 26,000 sq. ft. just inside the Chestnut St. entrance of the Liberty Place shops, and features a 9-hole tech-driven mini-golf course - But that only SCRATCHES the SURFACE of what to expect for this event!

Upon entering the facility, we will gather for:

*** an HOUR of ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT food similar to a sample menu found in the photos of this event (see left)

*** INCLUDED wine, beer, and hard seltzers the ENTIRE time we are there (cocktails, shots, etc. also available for purchase)

*** a rousing game of high-tech mini golf like you’ve never played before

*** ALL taxes and fees (sales tax, golf tax, beverage tax, admin fee, room rental, etc.)

*** A generous gratuity for our attentive staff!

Guests will be able to create a unique player profile and sync their golf ball at the start of the gameplay. The golf balls can track the player's score, bonus points earned and which holes have been played. If you ever return to Puttshack, you will be able to use your profile to access data about past visits, games, and other metrics.

The seating consists of plenty of corpulent, comfortable chairs, so the largest among us should have no trouble being accommodated.

THIS EVENT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY FILL UP, so reserve as soon as you can.

*****

HOW DO I RSVP??? Reserving your spot is easy and consists of 3 steps:

1.** FIRST, mark yourself as attending on this event page.

2.** SECOND, send a message on here, our private Discord, or however you usually contact Titanicgains, and

3.** THIRD, arrange with him to make your payment of $99.42 (Venmo preferred, also have PayPal, Zelle, and probably another option or 2 I'm forgetting). It was a HUMONGOUS challenge to get this total, with everything included, under $100 but after a lot of back-and-forth with the venue, I was able to *just* get it under. Remember that ALL of those bullet points above are included in the $99.42 individual total. You will leave full and probably buzzed!

FAQs:

~ What if I RSVP and pay, but can't make it on the day of the event? For this reservation, your payment will be refunded as long as you give the organizer 7 days of notice. If you cancel after that or just don't show up to the event, you will still be issued a refund after the event IF the venue doesn't charge for the empty seat. If they do charge, you will not be issued a refund.

~ I'm under 21. May I attend? SORRY, this Grommoff is open only to members 21 and over. This is not typically. At the very lease, the Grommoff itself is usually open to those members who are 18+, but alcohol is included at this particular event, so members under U.S. legal drinking age, stay tuned for our next local event in July!

~ Lots of people have signed up but I don't see much activity on the event page. What gives? Grommoffs only appear on the web version of Grommr and not on the app, so most of us keep up-to-speed by using our secret Philly Grommoff Discord server! Let us know by sending a message to Titanicgains or dropping a comment below if you'd like an invitation to the server.

Click "MARK AS ATTENDING" above if you intend to come to the Grommoff (Puttshack) BUT NOTE: you MUST also contact the organizer and pre-pay in order to be counted as attending. If you don't do this, you may risk not being admitted to the event because it is expected to sell out.

Click "FOLLOW" above if you are interested but unsure about attending, simply just want to follow the event, or you are only going to meet us AFTER Puttshack (note that anything after Puttshack is not organized by Grommr or its vetted organizers).

As always, please feel free to reach out with ideas for future events! I am not an event planner by profession nor am I a Grommr employee, so I can always use suggestions and help with logistics :)

*GrommOffs are independently organized by members who've been vetted and approved as organizers, and who abide by a set of GrommOff Ground Rules which can be read in the Support link above. If you believe that these rules were not followed, please contact the GrommOff account here: https://grokio.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/4/topic/3ab9d4b8-c5d9-4822-a936-64a17a41150f/article/181731339 *

Please note well the following rules for Grommoffs:

1. Respect others’ personal space

Gatherings can be exciting--and it can be easy to feel comfortable with people you’ve just met. But make sure you always ask before encroaching on someone’s personal space if you don’t know them and stop if someone asks you to stop. Don’t make assumptions and ask for consent and you’ll be fine.

2. No room for racism, misogyny, ableism, homophobia or transphobia

We hope this rule goes without saying, but there is absolutely no room for racist, misogynistic, homophobic or transphobic views at any Grokio Community Gathering. Period.

3. Respect the discretion of the group in public

Oftentimes, gatherings are held in public places (restaurants, parks, beaches, bowling alleys, etc.) and there will be other people nearby. Be aware that loud voices travel—if you’re talking about sensitive or potentially embarrassing topics, use your inside voice. Similarly, a public place is not appropriate for intimacy or sexualized touching. Even if the other person is comfortable with it, respect that you’re with a group in a public place and hold off until you have more privacy.

4. Illegal drug/alcohol use is not allowed

The use of drugs that are illegal in the local jurisdiction before or during a Grokio Community Gathering is strictly forbidden, as is the consumption of alcohol by those under the legal age in the local jurisdiction.

5. Guests from outside the community are only allowed with prior approval

We know that attending a GrommOff, Feabie Meet or Ferzu Event for the first time can be scary, but bringing along a friend from outside the community for support can make others feel uncomfortable and force them to edit themselves the way they do in the real world (the goal of our gatherings is to let everyone stop editing!) If you absolutely must bring a friend from outside the community and you are confident they will know how to behave appropriately, you must clear it with the organizer BEFORE the event. Any portion of a gathering occurring in a bar or pub is excepted from this rule.
