Indoor simulator league is long on high-tech and star power, but the real attraction may be watching golf’s finest player navigate fantasy golf holes designed by high-profile course architects.
A couple of suggestions. Mix in, or go entirely on occasion to actual holes played on tour for us old dogs (17 at Sawgrass, 15 at Augusta, 3 at Torrey, etc.). Some goofy video game holes okay for the younger demo but please not every single hole! Also, go to one accomplished celebrity amateur per team (Steph Curry, great… Charles Barkley, Tony Romo, etc.) OR one big name LPGA player on each team - or play against a few LPGA teams. Come on lads, think outside the box. Grab an audience member to sink a difficult 50’ putt for ten large or a donation to charity, that sort of thing. A one club only hole, mix it up!
The TGL game seems so awkward and golfers stiff, coerced! It would be a much improved format with new Hybrid MD golf ball designed for natural/synthetic turf play. Maybe better as average golfer competition call it the ”America’s Got Golf”.show!
We must remember we’re headed for artificial contained golf facilities with enhanced & controlled playing environments. T
I honestly liked the way it was designed and how advanced the look-feel of it all seemed. Wouldn't assert whether its a step forward or behind. Good to see Tiger though.. he needs to be the long-term face of this event for sure. Who knows the hybrid format might see some significant advancements each passing season.
I like some of these ideas. Def a few real holes. Not so sure about celebs and LPGA. Thinking outside the box, tho, i like it!

You were right about everything except your last comment - if Kisner is hitting, you have NO IDEA where it is going, and neither does he!!

Nothing but a glorified indoor Putt Putt.
Couldn't care less.
