"Powered by a South Korean-made video simulator, Golfzon, the Green should open in mid-September at 2131 N. Elston Avenue, hoping to draw serious golfers who want to work on their swings (perhaps during the winter months when outdoor play isn’t possible), groups wanting to try something different on the weekend, and private parties. Golfzon has been seen at bars, fitness centers, and country clubs. Each bay, which allows players to bring their own clubs and swing, costs between $40,000 to $70,000. PGA pro Kevin Na has one for home use. It’s an immersive experience, for example the floor adjusts underneath the player’s feet to convey elevation. The Green will surround its bar with nine of these machines — one is a bit sequestered, reserved for private events. The 36-seat oval-shaped bar is literally in the middle, with TVs hanging above. Each simulator-equipped bay will also have its own TV. The screen will show more than golf, so fans of all sports may have a new spot to check out." - Ashok Selvam
