Problem: Golfers may lack enough room for a simulator at home, use a home simulator only briefly, dislike the intimidation of practicing at a public range, or want a convenient indoor alternative when weather makes outdoor practice difficult.
For: Golf enthusiasts who want to improve their swings; country-club members seeking a convenient practice space; beginners who want private, non-intimidating practice; and families who want access to golf and other simulator games.
Examples
- Swing Cave Golf reached break-even at about 15 members within three months, grew to about 28 members after another three months, and reported approximately 50% net profit margins at six months.
