Golf simulators are starting to become popular in Winnipeg

More and more Golf simulator stores are opening throughout the Manitoba capital, to the delight of fans who want to continue practicing this sport during the winter.

Interest in this equipment is such that the company owner golf square, June Kang plans to open a second operation in Saint-Vital, only one year after launching into this sector.

Every weekend, his business is full.

We cannot accommodate this many people at the same time in the city. It’s true. So I think there won’t be saturation that quickly. So we need more spacehe said.

Every time I go somewhere, I ask people if they have any golf simulator experience. And about 50% of those surveyed answer that they have no experience at all. This means we still have a lot of potential customers.

Like Golfsquareseveral other places offer the same service in Winnipeg, because the practice of golf in winter appeals to Manitobans.

The working simulator of Golfsquare uses advanced technology from South Korea.

The sensor transmits all the information to the computer, which then calculates all the statistics of your swing, then shows how your balls move and fly, and finally monitors the specific characteristics of your ballexplains the owner of GolfsquareJune Kang, adding that this is a real asset for improving your technique.

It is in this simulator that Stephen Baril prepares for a golf trip to Arizona.

The goal is to train during the winter so as not to lose your rhythm.

I love practicing here because it’s the most realistic version of golf you can find in the city. With all the technology they have, it’s great to usesays Stephen Baril.

Owner June Kang hopes to open her new training center in early February.

But in the meantime, some work remains to be completed before golfers can set foot on the new artificial turf.
