How to play winter golf

How to play winter golf

When it’s feeling colder outside and the ground is harder, you may not feel like going to the golf course to work on your game. But not to worry! You don’t need to. Here at Black Box Golf, we provide state-of-the-art golf stimulator technology for your home, where you can perfect – and even improve – your game from the comfort of your own living room.

Specialising in designing and installing the highest standards of golf simulators, we provide you with a premium indoor golf experience by partnering with Trackman – a virtual golf simulator that benefits from extensive input from some of the world’s best coaches and players. 

So when there are shorter sunshine hours and lower-than-average temperatures, you may prefer to play indoors. Let’s take a look at why you should choose an indoor golfing experience in the winter, rather than playing outside! 

What is a Trackman virtual golf simulator?

A Trackman virtual golf simulator – used by the best golfing pros to boost their game – is one of the world’s industry leaders in golf simulator production. 

At Black Box Golf, we have partnered with Trackman to provide golfers with the best possible product. By tracking the DNA of each and every swing, you’ll be provided with data that will help you to improve your game by analysing your shots. All done without you getting cold or wet. 

Benefits of using a Trackman golf simulator

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in the demand for golfing simulators, and there are many benefits to using them: 

  • play in the comfort of your own home

  • use it outside when it gets a bit warmer

  • analyse your shots from the data provided so you can identify where, and how, to improve your game

  • benefit from instruction by some of the golfing greats and coaches

  • you can play when you want – no more trying to fit a game of golf in after work

  • your friends can also join in on a game

Where can I put my Trackman golf simulator?

Your virtual golf simulator can be placed anywhere in the home, where you have a large enough space to perform a full swing – and where it is safely away from young children. 

You don’t need to live in a mansion or build an extension to house your Trackman golf simulator – you can simply install it in a spare bedroom – although you need to keep a few things in mind when doing so: 

  • make sure your movements aren’t restricted and that your golf club doesn’t hit the ceiling mid-swing

  • the height of the room should be between 8’2” and 10’ for it to be as safe as possible

  • the width of the room should be around 15’ wide, which will give you plenty of space for the simulator curtain and for your friends to join you for a round or two

  • the depth of the room will depend on the golf simulator you choose, but for a standard one, we recommend the room is around 15’ deep

If you don’t have these dimensions available, speak to one of our experts here at Black Box Golf and we’ll see what we can do for you. 

Forget the trials and tribulations of playing golf in the winter and enjoy playing in the comfort of your own home. To find out more, don’t hesitate to contact us on +34 689 647 555 or +44 7733 326 098 or email matt@blackboxgolf.es.
