Today we wrapped up our first week of practice for the spring season. It was good to see everyone. It was also good to get some of the rust off from the winter. There were a number of golfers who went somewhere warm over break and played, but a majority didn't have that chance. After a few swings, everyone was back to normal. Both teams are extremely excited to get out and play in some tournaments!
Our winter home for the second straight year is the Golf Center at Lifetime Fitness in St. Louis Park, MN. We practiced out there last winter and they were nice enough to invite us back to practice there this winter also! The Golf Center was built a couple years ago and I believe it cost over $500K to build it. It is beautiful! They have 6 state of the art golf simulators, 3 big screen HD Televisions and tons of seating with bar areas around each simulator and leather furniture to relax in. It also has a small putting green where we can practice our short game too.
Like I said, the simulators are state of the art! They are from Full Swing Golf. They are the most accurate simulator in the market today. We have the ability to hit on a range, do contests like closest to the pin or long drive. We also have the opportunity to play golf at over 50 courses all over the world. Some of the courses include Pebble Beach, Oakland Hills, The Old Course at St. Andrews, Four Seasons Resort, Banff Springs, Bay Hill, Castle Pines, Cog Hill, Firestone, Harbour Town, Innisbrook, Kapalua, Oakmont, Torrey Pines, Troon North, and Valderrama. All courses feature options to control such as green speeds, wind variables and weather conditions.
