capabilities. The simulators use the immensely popular Microsoft Links -- the
world's best-selling golf software. Each nuance of a golfer's swing is captured
in the simulator and using real physics and technical accuracy is then
instantaneously entered into the Links golf software to give "real-time"
simulations of the shot on the simulated course. Featured courses on the indoor
simulators include Scotland's legendary St. Andrews; England's Belfry Country
Club, home of the 2001 Ryder Cup; Ohio's Firestone Country Club, home of the
World Golf Championships; North Carolina's Pinehurst Country Club, site of the
1999 U.S. Open, and Florida's Bay Hill Club and Lodge, home of the Bay Hill
