City Golf Bangsar Shopping Centre

Last weekend, I was given the opportunity to try out some indoor golfing thanks to Nuffnang and City Golf at Bangsar Shopping Centre. By indoor golfing, I mean virtual golfing without the large green fields and golf course. This high tech facility is located on the 4th floor of Bangsar Shopping Centre and have these really cool latest state of the art Full Swing Golf Simulators to simulate the real thing. What's unique here is that you're able to golf, day or night, no matter what the weather is doing outside.

Some of the golf clubs available

We reached the place at around 4pm to be greeted by City Golf staffs. After a quick briefing on the agenda for the day which includes lots of golfing, a "killer" pool competition, and a dart competition. I was pretty upbeat and excited as this was actually the first time I'm golfing, doesn't matter if it's only virtual golf. The place looked pretty neat, with a club like environment, complete with a bar, a pool table and more.

City Golf was packed to the brim with Nuffnang bloggers that afternoon, and we did not waste much time getting all hot and sweaty with the virtual golf. Everyone had an equal chance to "whack the ball at the wall", so to speak. In fact I was rather dissapointed that I did so badly on my first attempt at golfing. I had to swing like a madman, with 2 to 3 swings to finally get my club to connect with the ball. I was literally laughing at myself.

My "failed" attempt at golfing

Janice actually did better than me!

While the bloggers were golfing, we had the pool and darts event happening concurrently. So for those who had enough of golfing, they could show off their skills at these 2 other sport. Unfortunately for me, there were others much better than me, hence I could not win any prizes that day. It did not stop me from mingling and chilling out with everyone though. Happy day indeed.

Darts event, again Janice was better than me.

Pool! Lots of pro pool bloggers in Nuffnang, excluding me of course.

As usual, after the event, I wanted to get a group picture, but we could only manage to get a small group picture, because there wasn't really an effort to group everyone together. Some friends had to rush off to another event, so they left earlier.

These are really nice people. From L-R: Henry Lee, Benjamin, Tony, and Iris

Awesome bloggers @ Golf City.

My conclusion, City Golf is a really cool place to hone your golfing skills before heading to the green fields. The state of the art equipments and simulator screens really made it feel like you're "almost" there. Do check out this place if you're keen on golfing and would like to have a good practice run.
