By Chris Onorato
Gail Brophy of Saratoga Springs lives in a world that, no matter the month, no matter the weather, is perfect. It’s indoor golf.
“You don’t lose golf balls here,” Brophy said. “You hit it 20 miles into the woods, find your ball easily and you can hit it off a nice surface of grass and hit it again.” Read the rest of this entry »
