full swing golf simulator

[ag359]

Anybody have any views on these?

I am a bit limited for golf facilities where I am (or will be shortly) living, but there is a decent looking golf simulator place. How do these compare to the 'real thing' (i.e. ranges and courses) for practice purposes?

If it makes a difference, I'm an almost complete beginner, so at the moment am just trying to get the hang of making consistent solid contacts, rather than anything too technical...

This particular place appeals because it is not too expensive, is on my way home from work, and provides taylor made clubs to play with (I don't yet have my own set, and wouldn't want to be lugging them to work with me if i did).

any views appreciated...

I take it that's a 'no' then!

These things are popping up all over the place in the UK, so I thought they'd be as popular worldwide. Obviously not.

I used a simulator at a sporting goods store over the weekend and didn't feel comfortable hitting at 100%. You could always try it out and see if you are comfortable hitting in one. It might be your thing but it's not for me.
