Indoor Golf Tips, Guides and Straight Answers for the Shire
We went looking for every question Shire golfers actually ask about golf, simulators and indoor play. Then we answered all of them properly.
No filler, no recycled internet advice. Every guide here is written and signed off by Darren and Matt, the founders of The Bay, from the technology they chose to the slices they’ve fixed. If we publish it, we stand behind it.
Beginner working up the nerve? Golfer chasing ten more metres? Just want to know what this costs and whether it’s real golf? Start anywhere. The answer’s here, and it was written up the road in Kirrawee.
