Express Golf, a state-of-the-art indoor golf facility that recently opened in Hong Kong, has chosen the PGA TOUR Simulator by aboutGolf, a Maumee, Ohio-based company, as its exclusive game-improvement golf simulator technology.

Indoor golf is a popular trend in Asia, where South Korea has more than 5,000 indoor golf centers and centers have opened in Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and India over the last two year. The United States and Europe are also experiencing growth in the indoor golf center segment, with more than 20 centers opening in the past five years in the United Kingdom.

Express Golf continues the trend in Asia, opening as a premier, air-conditioned golf facility, featuring five aboutGolf PGA TOUR Simulators in its location on the seventh floor of MegaBox, Hong Kong’s revolutionary, massive shopping, dining and entertainment concept building.

“Our PGA TOUR Simulators were a natural fit for the type of overall golf experience Express Golf is offering indoors,” says Chuck Faust, President of aboutGolf. “With its position in Hong Kong, so close to mainland China, which holds more golf-growth potential than any other nation in terms of both golfers and courses, Express Golf is well-positioned to engage a burgeoning golf market, and thus exposing a substantial number of golfers to aboutGolf’s world-leading simulator technology.”

The PGA TOUR Simulator by aboutGolf fully consumes golfers, drawing them into an unprecedented indoor playing experience through unmatched accuracy, living 3D graphics and proprietary Immersive Play Technology™.

“Golf should not be something that is so distant from our daily lives,” says Cathy Hon, Express Golf’s Shop Manager. “Express Golf’s aim is to enable Hong Kong’s people, be it teenagers or retired persons, to enjoy golf as much as those on other continents.”

By utilizing aboutGolf’s PGA TOUR Simulators indoors at Express Golf, Hong Kong residents and visitors can now enjoy golf in the heart of the densely populated city of seven million people, saving more time to play instead of having to travel abroad to do so—and without worrying that bad weather will cancel a round.

Besides being able to enjoy a round on some of the world’s greatest golf courses, meticulously rendered in all three dimensions, Express Golf visitors also can utilize aboutGolf’s PGA TOUR Simulators for club fitting, teaching, league play and social rounds.

The PGA TOUR Simulator utilizes 3Trak, state-of-the-art, three-dimensional, high-speed photography technology to capture ball and club data and produce accurate ball flight and a realistic play experience.

“We realize that any effort to accurately replicate the game of golf indoors must feature intricate technology and focused technologists with a thirst for continual improvement,” says Hon. “Enter aboutGolf’s PGA TOUR Simulators.”
