Screen Golf

I have heard of this somewhat new craze in Korea, screen golf, and knew with my golfing background (sarcasm is implied) I knew I had to try it out. Barry, Janine and I went to a GolfZon down the street from our work, and in a couple minutes were decked in golf shoes and golfing gloves.




So, this screen golf is literally just a virtual game of golf. You can choose over 50 courses (real courses), we chose St. Andrew's in Scotland. You hit this button and a ball would be perfectly placed on your tee. Not only does it calculate your swing and the distance the ball travelled, the platform literally moves in all directions to coordinate with the chosen course.

I am not surprised that this is such a big craze in Korea. Not only are Koreans technologically advanced in all aspects of life, there are so many people and not enough space for real courses! Come rain, snow, sleet or frost, you can always count on these screen golf cafes to be open, warm, full of booze and Korean food galore.
