If you like playing videogames, then chances are that you’ve played a good couple of golf games in your life. These golf games can be based on reality or have some elements of fantasy to it. There are games out there where they have golf balls that can fly off a great distance or golf courses that look something out of a fantasy movie. Golf in videogames is always fun and with motion sensor technology, people can emulate playing golf at home with the use of their consoles. They can swing their arms and score for that hole in one. Videogame golf is fun but what if you wanted to start getting into the world of golf.

I’m taking the time to write this article for a number of reasons. The main one being that I love this course, I’m going into my fourth season at Sirocco and I couldn’t be more excited, Especially with how the last few months have been going. Even if I didn’t work at Sirocco, I’d still be speaking highly of the course and all the things they do exceptionally well.
