Winter Golf Is Here

Things are finally gearing up for the winter in the "off season golf world"  All of us bubble golfers hope that mother nature behaves this year and gives us a turn.  Last year when it was 70 degrees and sunny in January it was a little tough to justify playing golf indoors.  Despite the mild winter we were surprised that there were so many people playing indoors.  Throughout our facilities in the northeast the attendance wasn't as bad as we thought it would be.  We found that it came down to the accuracy of the tracking technology in the simulators that helped keep the screens turned on.  The local golf pros were indoors giving lessons, the evening leagues were at full capacity and the daytime crowd was consistent.  While we never intend to compete with the green grass it was good to see that even though the courses were open and our simulators were at an acceptable capacity.  It comes down to having the right tracking technology under the hood and actual 3-D terrain to play in the simulators that keeps people coming back every year even when they can be outdoors.
On the residential end, the installation calendar is quite full and we are doing our best to get all our anxious customers installed by the holidays.  Below you will see some photos of our most recent simulators during installation.

We are very excited for whats coming in the next year and the innovation that aboutGolf and the aG development team is working on.  As a technology company that creates everything that they put in the field it's always nice to see that they are working on the next best thing to keep our customers  and partners excited for what's to come.  

Happy Holidays!!!
