WATCH: MGM Grand Casino in Vegas opens a VIP golf simulator

Published

on

Golf is growing in ways that don’t require stepping foot on a golf course. Using modern technology, businesses such as Top Golf are attracting new people to the game of golf because of a laid-back, but still competitive atmosphere. Golf simulators are also helping to grow the game due to their ever-increasing accuracy and ease of use.

In 2016, MGM Grand casino opened “Level Up,” a 12,000-square-foot space where casino-goers can play games like Frogger, Connect Four and Pac-Man. Also a part of the arcade-like atmosphere is the Golfstream Suite, described by Golf.com as a VIP golf lounge that features a golf simulator and a putting surface that can move. Unlike most golf simulators that struggle to capture the feel of putting on a real green, Golfstream’s putting surface can be altered to influence the break of the putt, and it utilizes lasers to help participants read the greens.

As you’d expect from a Vegas suite experience, food and drinks are available while in the VIP room; simulator rentals start at $75 per hour during off-hours and $175 per hour from 7-11 p.m.

    Do they let you in if you aren’t a supermodel? Because they don’t at Hakkasan.

    ….or for $75 bucks you can play on a real course, with real greens and fairways.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.

For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • btyh: “Holy offset.”
  • Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
  • bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing

Published

on

As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.

Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
