According to the Golf Impact report commissioned by the USGA in 2023, a third of all golf played in the US last year was done so exclusively on a simulator or at a driving range. That’s 12.5 million golfers. It’s a startlingly high number and one that actually took me by surprise. Literally millions of golfers are never stepping foot on a 'real' golf course!
Richard Harrison, Managing Director at The Golf Groove, a new indoor golf venue in Wimbledon, believes the simulator environment is the best way to learn and has witnessed dramatic improvement in the golfers who come through the doors of The Golf Groove in a relatively short space of time.
