High Stakes Golf – Inaugural SIM Event
Today, more than 8 million people in the U.S. play golf on simulators at over 1,600 commercial venues. One of the leaders in this space is Five Iron Golf, where High Stakes Golf (HSG) recently hosted its inaugural simulator event at the New York Grand Central location.
HSG events—both live and virtual—are played under our copyrighted Rules of the Game and Method of Play. This inaugural SIM competition featured six players competing head-to-head in three separate matches on Pebble Beach’s Links at Spanish Bay. The format: no strokes, no handicaps, staggered tees.
Each player began with a $5,000 purse (in $100 “chips”), none of whom had ever previously played the format. Before every shot, players wagered on who would win the hole. Antes started at $100, increasing by $100 each hole. If a player couldn’t match the ante, they were eliminated. The “button” player led no-limit betting, while the opponent could call, raise, or fold. Matches were managed by a croupier, with each competitor supported by a dedicated “financial advisor” seated at custom poker tables to provide betting strategy.
Five Iron Golf, a premier simulator facility powered by TrackMan technology, proved the perfect venue. Their expert staff and world-class setting helped deliver a seamless, high-energy event. The success of this inaugural SIM competition established High Stakes Golf as a viable, scalable format for simulator venues nationwide.
‘The Texas Hold ’Em of Golf.’
High Stakes Golf will continue to run events both live and virtual … stay tuned!
