Have you ever approached the peak of a roller coaster climb and, moments before the eventual high-speed drop, thought to yourself, “I bet taking in a round of golf from here would be cool.”
No? Neither have I, or likely anyone else.
And while that previously wasn’t something (knowingly) offered anywhere, theScore Bet is getting ready to debut something similar for the adventurous crowd at the RBC Canadian Open.
The Canada-based sportsbook is debuting an on-course skyline seating area for fans who want to take the relaxation factor out of watching golf. The 30-minute experience gives 22 individuals, harnessed to their seats, a view of the Toronto skyline and a chance to eat and drink while taking in the tournament’s action from up to 100 feet above the course.
That's a long way up! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/JU3ZAwg8jt

I can get behind the creativity and think this could be the start of something new for the sport. But for those interested in participating in theScore’s new viewing, I’d suggest grabbing your nearest pair of binoculars to avoid having to squint for the little white golf ball at the sound of its collision with a 3 Wood.
Better yet, maybe bring a helmet just in case any wayward shots decide to crash the elevated party.
