Overview:
This would have to be one of the coolest things we’ve come across in a long time. The basement of a Soho office building has been converted into an unbelievable high tech golfer’s paradise. It’s a perfect cross between hitting the course for real and firing up Tiger Woods PGA 2004 on the Playstation.
How it Works:
Utilizing the same technology used by the US PGA to certify flight characteristics of new brands of golf balls, a simulator booth represents your gateway to golfing Disneyland. A massive screen at the end of the booth brings up a display of any world class course that you select from a choice of 50. Each booth is kitted out with a full set of the latest Calloway Clubs and, as you smash the ball off the tee into the screen, a series of lasers measure speed, trajectory and spin to instantly and accurately show the flight path of your ball. It feels so real that you’ll be tempted to pluck some grass to test the breeze.
After a quick lesson on how to work the software you and the lads (up to 4 per booth) can set off for a fully competitive round comprising, say, the front 9 at Augusta and the back 9 of Royal Troon. All without walking further than the bar in between shots.
On the Day:
You will have use of the simulators for 2 hours, with between 2 – 4 people allocated to a booth (depending upon numbers and availability). Extra time can be arranged upon request.
The onsite instructors will give you a run down on how to use the controls, but after that you will be left on your own to carve up the worlds best courses.
Drinks and food are available from the bar and waitress will also come past your area to take extra orders.
A buffet lunch or ‘pre pub’ finger food meal can be arranged on request for a small additional cost. Please ask for details.
