Does Toronto have any indoor Golf cafes? They are fairly popular in the UK (especially in winter).

 

You use real clubs and balls, hit it into a screen and then the course is virtual. As well as real courses you can play “fantasy” like on top of skyscrapers. It even allows for boosts (e.g. plus 25 yards) so beginners can play together with golfers.

 

It’s fun, but I find that putting is really difficult as the sensors don’t pick up the ball properly for that bit.

 

I first used these about 12 yrs ago, at an indoor golf cafe in North Bay, Ontario, pop. 50,000

I think it was Keopka, wow!

About 30 in the GTA. They really punish bad players even more than the course does. Thus I hate them

A mate of mine who doesn't normally play somehow managed to break one of the ceiling lights, and lose a ball (we think it went into a hole behind the screen). It doesn't help that the bar is just a phone call away to get them to bring you drinks haha.

I'm glad Connors won the Velara this weekend, he's in for the Masters.

Woods may never get a better chance to win another major.

[Terminator]

2 up with 2 to play. He's got this.

[Bobthe4th]

And Woods does it. First major for him in 11 years.

[Bobthe4th]

Haha, he looks so old when he takes his cap off.

[P2F]

Tiger, Tiger Woods, y'all!

[Spanky99]

Tiger, Tiger Woods, y'all!

 

That was simply amazing, what a finish! Great for sports, he's back! I had to watch the replay again today, and slept through the Leaf game... Just finished watching that game, lol. Good day!

[Spanky99]

Also, Terminator and Bobthe4th, I have no clue how a few meatheads went on about golf not being big in Canada??? f***in' right it is, especially Majors.

Looks as though Rory's going to take the Canadian Open, was hoping Hadwin would give him a run.

Lowry has the Open wrapped up, good for Ireland and himself, right at home.

Ooh you’d be lynched for saying that by some over here. Lowry is Irish not Notthern Irish, haha.

Used to be like that here, about 25 years or so ago, lol. Gold/Orange, Protestants/Catholics...

TBF, it’s better than it used to be. Things like the Rugby Union national team having success as a united Ireland helps. If Brexit ever happens it could get worse again though!

Brooke Henderson is lit right now.
