That Big Net out West on Katy Freeway - TopGolf's West Houston Skyline Alteration Project on Course

A variation on the theme of horizon-modification is evolving in the burbs: It's not just construction cranes that are changing the skyline out West. 

What's that big net there going to catch?

TAKE A GUESS:

• o   Migratory birds on the way to and from Central and South America.
• o   Monarchs en route to their winter haunts in Mexico.
• o   Small planes taking off from West Houston Airport.
• o   Top dollars of energy company executives.

TopGolf's massive golfing and entertainment center past the Wafflehouse and Sams' at the the Highway 6 - Katy Freeway Overpass is already making its mark on the neighborhood -- even before project completion and grand opening -- with its enormous golf-ball-containment nets soaring above the roofs of the surrounding apartment complexes, warehouses, and stores. 
  
Like they say, everything is bigger in Texas -- or it better be, you-all. Even companies from other states come here to help make the point. TopGolf reportedly dropped $15mil on the project, it's biggest yet, which is to feature food, games, sports, and music live with liquor license. Panem et circenses plus for well-heeled energy-company executives and for area workaholics in need of a well-deserved break alike.
