Golf is a sport that requires practice in order to keep your game sharp. In the busy lives of many working professionals, the time to practice is a luxury that many don’t have. That is especially true for people in major metropolitan cities such as New York. This is where the Wall Street Golf Gym, Golf & Body NYC, comes in!
In most major cities, space is a rare commodity and golf would definitely not be a priority. Indoor facilities such as City Links in Hong Kong and Urban Golf in London have been found to meet the golfing needs of people living in urban areas. Having identified a marketing niche in New York, ex-trader Tim Schiff founded Golf and Body after spending three decades on the trading floor!
Located on Sixth Ave and just one block from Penn Station, Golf and Body is a 25,000 square foot facility that not only includes seven HD golf simulators and the use of TrackMan but a gym room with state of the art fitness equipment – and we all know how much golfers focus on fitness these days! World class trainers, who works with Tour professionals such as Luke Donald and Jason Day, are also available at the New York facility. Currently, there are 130 members at Golf and Body with 90% of them in the finance industry. The annual membership is $7,500 while the initiation fee is $5,000. George Zahringer, Managing Director of Duetsch Bank started training at Golf & Body last year and played well enough in the British Amateur Open to win it all! That’s definitely money well spent for Mr. Zahringer and is proof that Golf & Body is a great way to keep your game sharp in the city!
