It was great to read how Glasgow-born golfer Gavin Macpherson earned the right to play in a professional tournament by winning a tournament played enturely on indoor golf sims.
As reported by the BBC, Macpherson gained his place in the New South Wales Open in Australia not on a traditional course, but by winning the NSW Virtual Open.
His simulator success earned him not only a spot in the tournament but also A$10,000 in prize money.
Gavin’s story highlights just how far simulator golf has come – and how it’s transforming the sport.
With top players like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy launching the Tomorrow’s Golf League (TGL) – an indoor league featuring PGA Tour stars – it’s clear that simulator golf isn’t just a substitute for the real thing.
That same technology is now available in Sandbach, at Sports Coaching Group’s sister company SportsZone in Moston Road, Sandbach, CW11 3HL.
SportsZone features two state-of-the-art golf simulators, offering players the chance to tee off on world-famous courses, analyse every swing, and improve their game whatever the weather.
With food, drink, and live sport (including Sky Sports and TNT) available on-site, it’s also the perfect spot to relax, practise, and socialise – all while staying warm and dry.
So, if Gavin Macpherson’s journey has inspired you, why not see what you can achieve indoors?
