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. :-P

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.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
