A Good Walk Indoors?
Posted by Nick
I wonder how these golf simulators will be received. They look pretty cool, but my sense is half the reason or more guys like playing golf is because they are outside.
Local golfers longing for spring can choose from 26 premiere courses from around the world — all just two hours away down the New York state Thruway.
The simulators, surprisingly accurate in their reach for reality, supply sound effects as well as course views from various angles. If you're playing the 18th hole at California's Pebble Beach and you hit your ball too far to the left, you may just hear a splash from the Pacific.
The bright, spacious indoor golf arena sits next to the casino complex on the grounds of the 972-acre resort owned by the Oneida Indian Nation. Besides the simulators, you'll find two putting greens, a two-tiered hitting area with 40 stations and an Internet-based swing analysis system.
