My Top Ten Reasons to Play Virtual Golf

Hi everyone!

It's me, Slacker Girl! Yes, it was brought to my attention that I haven't posted anything in a while, but gosh, it's SUMMER and here in the DC Area we're enjoying some of the best weather we've had in years! In the last month or two I've been travelling like crazy promoting my book in Dallas and Atlanta, and then I took Mini Lynni off for a few days in Chincoteague for some Mommie and me time. Sorry I've been neglecting my precious blog, but really I'm more excited than ever about the progress of the Green House! It's going to be here before you know it, so without further ado (and a distinct nod to David Letterman) here are my Top 10 reasons why Virtual Golf is GREAT!!!

10. For EVERY golfer, it takes 2200-3500 gallons of water to support his game each and every time he plays a real golf course. With Virtual Golf we're saving BILLIONS of gallons of water each and every day!

9. There's no use of pesticides in your basement! Ease your conscience knowing that the Greens on the Screen will stay that way, and no toxins that pollute our environment are used in Virtual Golf!

8. Keep your Lear jet in the hangar! Why burn pesky fossil fuels flying to Banff or Pebble Beach when you can play those same courses from the luxury of your own home!

7. Go Postal! Rain, Snow, Sleet, Hail? No problem! With HD Virtual Golf you can play 365 days a year whether the weather cooperates or not! Tell THAT to the folks in Minnesota, eh?

6. Not a vampire? Excellent! Whether it's Morning, Noon or Night you don't have to wait for a full moon to play a round of Night Golf with your pals.

5. You won't have "hat head" or be covered in sweat after you've played a round! Plus no need for poisonous, non eco-friendly bug spray: you won't find mosquitos in your basement!

4. Your favorite foursome is scattered across the country. No worries! With Virtual Golf you can play against each other in real time, and make sure no one cheats! You can even get lessons from the pros in our Virtual Golf Clinics and analyze your swing, measure the spin of your ball, and MORE! Take THAT Tiger Woods!

3. Land in a hazard? Sand won't stick to your sunscreen and water won't ruin your golf shoes when you're playing Virtual Golf! Your street cred will be intact (and so will your outfit!)

2. No need to worry about a caddy overhearing your ideas for a new business and beating you to the punch! Your own clubs are always within reach and you'll never lose another ball in the rough!

1. In your own 19th Hole, whether you win or lose the bar is always open! Woo Hoo!


That's it for today folks! This weekend I'm going to get you caught up on what's happening at the Green House, give you a progress update, and tell you once and for all WHY I should care if the carpet for the Virtual Golf Room is "photoviolet". Ugh! Until then, check out the links on the side of the page and keep spreading the word about The CharityWorks Green House! I'll be at the Green Meet Up on the Rooftop of BLT Steak tomorrow night hanging with the coolest peeps in the business, so if you're in the neighborhood Tweet me @LynniMegginson and I'll get ya on the list!

xoxo,

Lynni

  2. Scott, I loved your site. Thanks for the tip. The fact that your group is being proactive in this very "hot button" topic is just fantastic! We can all do our part to be ecofriendly, and I would be very interested to hear from you what courses in the DC area are following your protocols. Can you share that info with me so I can promote them? I will also promote your blog in my next post. Thanks! Lynni

  3. Keep us posted on the Green House. We did actually make it out for some virtual golf at a local Philly Suburbs place recently and it was a lot of fun and the A/C was kind of nice. Best of luck on the finishing touches! Fore!!!

  4. Great Post Lynni! We are definitely seeing an increase in virtual golf system sales to both home users and commercial users.

    The new technology also makes it extremely affordable for anyone to own an accurate system in their home that will allow them to have a lot of fun on, and most are now equipped with swing analyzers so that you can also improve your game! I live in Edmonton, AB and we have winter almost 7 months out of the year, so it is great to play year round and stay in shape!

    Go Green!
