New indoor practice facility in NYC opens

[RayG]

The clientele they're looking for who live "in the city", would just go out to their club in the Hamptons, Westchester, NJ, etc...

During the day and/or on weekends, sure.  But now they also have the opportunity to golf/schmooze on really short notice and on evenings and quick lunches and stuff.  I could see it working with that crowd in that town.

Also, there's that whole "winter" thing you guys got going on over there in the east.

There's at least one playing the simulator in the background of the home page pic. Along with one standing and one sitting on the couch.

My mistake. The photo of the guy turning with the weighted club in shirt and tie, that was a turnoff, at least for me.

They have Trackman, SAM Puttlab and  3D vest though. That, is how you stock an indoor practice facility.

Yep, when I'm going stir crazy, I'd probably pay the premium to use such a facility.

Their clientele can afford this as a place to hang out and practice in the winter and go during the week. Remember there are a LOT of people in that area who make half a million bucks a year. That is far from the high side too. That is just an associate banker and not a MD. Plenty of guys at the banks and hedge fund making over a million a year.
