to fly to Pebble Beach and pay $500 to
play that iconic course. Just dial it up on
the About Golf simulator and play away.
Other familiar courses available are; TPC
Sawgrass, Harbour Town, Pine Needles and
the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island.
The options aren’t just limited to the United
States either. Both the Old Course and New
Course can be played at St. Andrews, home
of the Open Championship, as well as,
other European venues.
Last year saw a boom in the number of golf
leagues and competitions at Fore Golfers.
Most leagues are set for the 2015-2016
season, but weekly skin games and other
tournaments will be available all season long.
One of the promotions that Fore Golfers
has for this year is a Closet-to-the-Pin
Contest. All golfers can pay a fee for a shot
at winning a Harley Davidson Sportster.
Rist has the Harley parked for everyone to
view in the Fore Golfers facility.
Contestants purchase a shot on Pete and
Alice Dye’s famed No. 17 “Island Green,”
at TPC Sawgrass’ Stadium Course. Every
Golfaholic has watched as the best golfers
in the world make that dreaded walk from
the 16th green around the water, to the
17th tee at TPC Sawgrass. They are forced
to find that little sliver of green over 150
yards of water or suffer the consequences
of a watery grave and penalty strokes.
The Fore Golfers Closest-to-the-Pin Contest
will end April 15, 2016. If more than one
participant makes a hole-in-one, each will
be invited to a playoff. The closet shot to
the pin will win the playoff and the Harley.
In addition to enjoying a round of golf
in a warm comfortable setting, the golf
simulators can be used to better understand
your own game. Rather than playing one
of the courses, a player can choose from a
variety of driving ranges and practice every
club in the bag.
After every shot the screen records, spin
rate, ball flight, launch angle, club-head
speed and ball speed. These numbers can
help golfers improve their game. They will
