In a groundbreaking move for the indoor golf industry, Foresight Sports, which offers professional-grade launch monitors and golf simulation technology, has announced a strategic partnership with PuttView, a leader in innovative putting solutions. This collaboration aims to fix a key weakness in simulated golf: the realism and engagement when putting.
Traditional golf simulators excel at replicating long shots, but they often feel artificial while putting. “Simulator golf has always shown great potential, but putting hasn’t played a major role until now,” said Christoph Pregizer, managing director at PuttView. “Thanks to this partnership, golfers worldwide can now access a complete experience, including putting, whether they’re at home, in training facilities, academies, or anywhere else.”

This is done through seamless gameplay, so that when a player reaches the green in the simulator, PuttView automatically displays the putt’s data on the physical greet. After holing out, the system transitions to the next hole without manual input, so that the experience is more immersive.
“We are excited to lean in on a strategic partnership with PuttView to take the reality of golf simulation to the next level, delivering what players have been clamoring for over the last decade,” adds Tim Tiel, brand marketing manager at Foresight Sports. “This partnership highlights Foresight Sports’ unwavering commitment to helping golfers improve their game by offering an unmatched experience that truly captures the feel of playing on a real course.”
The PuttView Simulator Series is now available and fully compatible with Foresight Sports’ 13′ SIM IN A BOX packages. It can also be customized for every Foresight Sports simulator setup.

Golf carts are great for speeding around golf courses, gated communities, campgrounds, and more. I've done my fair share of zipping around places, but how fast can a golf cart go? Typically, a golf cart's speed is determined by model type and whether any modifications have been made. Standard electric or gas-powered golf carts usually max out at 12 or 14 miles per hour due to factory settings and course regulations, which usually have speed limits of 15 mph for the safety of everyone around. That said, some golf carts can go a whole lot faster. Here's what you need to know.
Can you change a golf cart's speed?

How to make a golf cart go faster
Before you consider modifying your golf cart, please check the laws for your area. Thompson Law put together a great resource to see if you can drive your golf cart on the road in your state. Some states will allow more golf cart modifications than others. Even if you do get your golf cart to "street-legal" readiness, some areas will only allow modified golf carts on certain roads, or they may need to meet extra requirements. In addition, modifications can make any warranties void, so make sure you know what you're getting into before you dive in.

What is a draw in golf? How to hit it, when to use it, and more
Unlocking the power if the draw in your golf swing
People riding a golf cart around the gofl course

In many other sports, a draw means to end a game in a tie, so naturally, I was in for a surprise when I learned it’s something completely different in golf. In fact, as a golf term, a draw refers to a type of shot where the ball curves gently from right to left in the air for a right-handed golfer. Alongside the fade, hook, and slice, the draw is one of the core shot shapes every golfer encounters. In a word, it’s a supercontrolled shot that is as beautiful as it is powerful. Here’s how to hit a draw, when to use it to support your strategy, as well as some famous draws during the Masters and PGA Tour.
How to hit a draw in golf

To hit a draw, a golfer usually aligns their stance slightly to the right of the target. The face of your club needs to be closed relative to your swing path on impact but still slightly open to the target line. Too closed, and you’ll hook it wildly, but too open, and you’ll actually be hitting a push or a fade. When hit correctly, the ball flies with a topspin and a sidespin, and this is what creates that right-to-left trajectory. If you need a visual explanation, Me And My Golf has a great video where they explain two ways to draw the golf ball.
