TheGolfCourt™, a Golf Practice Center Fits in a Tennis CourtPublished January 05, 2010 TheGolfCourt™, a golf practice center designed to fit in a tennis court space, is expected to bring golf learning, practice and play to more persons, at a lower cost, according to a joint announcement by Adventure Golf Services and aboutGolf Limited. The concept is announced today at the National Recreation Parks Association annual trade show. “TheGolfCourt™ will help state, city and regional parks and recreation departments provide residents a new alternative activity to learn, practice and play golf in a 7,200-square-foot area,” comments Scott Lundmark, director of sales for Adventure Golf Services, located in Traverse City, Michigan. The center permits the introduction and accessibility of golf to persons of all ages, abilities and disabilities regardless of income or the availability of convenient public golf courses. Municipalities and organizations with unused or under-utilized tennis courts, buildings or vacant space will be able to add a complete golf center. “Adventure Golf Services, offers a standard model of TheGolfCourt for $81,000 plus installation, says Lundmark. “This model includes: five driving stations; six contoured chipping stations; six future sand bunker positions; a 1,300-square-foot contoured putting area; retractable safety net separators; an overhead ball containment net; and installation. Optional PGA TOUR Simulator and 3Trak launch monitors are provided by aboutGolf Limited, a Maumee, Ohio company.” “TheGolfCourt™ can be placed indoors or outdoors, on concrete or ground” comments designer Arne Lundmark, president Adventure Golf Services. “When a participant enters, it is like visiting a golf course. At ground level, this is accomplished with the use of various turfs for the walkways, roughs and putting surface along with extensive topography. An optional 6’ high photographic image of golf course scenes is hung around the entire perimeter to immerse the participants in the environment and to create the look and feel of a real golf course.” |
