For Those of You Who Can't Fathom Leaving the House, Indoor Golf Could Be an Option - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog

If you've ever been to Dave & Busters or Jillians you've probably seen the predecessor to Wii golf: basically an oversized video game that includes a patch of astroturf, a wall-sized screen and some clubs. The idea is to recreate the golf experience on some of the world's finest courses from your favorite family entertainment megaloplex!

And while it's a great way to kill an afternoon (particularly if beer hats are involved) -- and saves you the trouble of actually going outside and walking around a golf course -- it gets better: if you've got a few bucks lying around, you can have one of these bad boys installed in your home.

Full Swing Golf simulators come pre-loaded with 54 of the world's best courses, including Pebble Beach, Cog Hill, and the Old Course at St. Andrews. The company's brag sheet of celebrity installs features Donald Trump, Rich Gannon, Curt Schilling, Michael Jordan, and Tony Robbins.

To hook up a Full Swing Golf simulator in your pad you'll need a room at least 13 feet wide, 20 feet long, and with ceilings 10.5 feet high. And it will run you about $55,000.

Wait a second, Rich Gannon and Tony Robbins are celebrities? Really?

Also, it sounds like the Full Swing Golf experience isn't for apartment dwellers, which pretty much rules out people living in cities or the myriad pantsless bloggers still surviving below ground.

But for all the other nerds with $55,000 in disposable income and plenty of free time on the weekends, it might be something to consider.
