Golf Simulators and the joy of technology

Technology is sometimes an unfortunate thing. We have gotten extremely spoiled with what we have at the tip of our fingers or have access to at any time...and we love it! We have seen some tremendous innovations come through just in the past couple years and I can only imagine what's to come. My company and it's success revolve around technology and it's accuracy. I am extremely privilaged to be dealing with an amazing technology and the best part is that it's all for the game of golf not brain surgery or space exploration but simply golf. A game that sucks you in and will always get the best of you. We provide a technology that is unmistakably the best in the industry and providing people with the most accurate game replication out there, and yet it's amazing how unsatisfied some people are. We have found the better the golfer the happier the results. But it would be nice to make the average golfer see that "you don't hit your drives that far" or "yes that chip shot you hit was a 15 yard shot and not a 35 yard" When you play our product we want it to be unfortunately accurate, we're not here to recreate the Wii or TW Golf. We want YOUR GOLF GAME. But more importantly guess what it is a computer and yes sometimes things happen. From where things were 9 years a go in comparison to what people are seeing in our simulators is outstanding. Most of our competition is still producing the same stuff from a decade ago. The best way to put it is aboutGolf is a technology and software company that is fanatical about golf that makes golf simulators. Not many in this industry can say that everything you see in our simulator is designed, built and developed by one company. With an exclusive R&D lab aboutGolf is all about producing the latest and greatest to be sure that we are the most accuate simulators in the field. With that said it's amazing to hear the comments that some people have to say. Grant it, is it 100% accurate? Not all the time, but nobody is. But you can be certain aboutGolf is as close as it's going to get to the real thing. Don't get upset because your drive didnt go 275 when it actually should be going 220. It's fine. Take our technology to your advantage and utilize it as a tool as well as an entertainment product. There's a reason it was selected as the exclusive on-air golf simulator for The Golf Channel as well as the official simulator for the the PGA and European TOUR and of course our latest partnership with David Leadbetter. Let's learn from with we are seeing on the big screen not complain about it. You'll be a happier golfer inside and out.....Remember we are all here for the game of golf....have fun and enjoy yourself.
