Others, like Bryson DeChambeau, are using it to open golf courses as an investment opportunity. DeChambeau is doing just that as he plans to open “UnderPar Life,” a two-story complex with a 42-shot bay, a 500-yard driving range, a Tour-level short game area, an educational academy, a restaurant run by a famous chef, and three bars. Bryson DeChambeau is launching a Topgolf-style golf venue…
