The Monkey Tree Pub has a new golfing venture starting up in a few weeks.

The Monkey Tree SIM League will kick off on Feb. 7. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 planned as a 12-week league with all play happening on the pubSA国际影视传媒檚 new golf simulator.

Jen Vornbrock, the pubSA国际影视传媒檚 owner, came up with the competition after having the simulator installed last month.

SA国际影视传媒淲e knew we would do something like this because the golf community in Yellowknife is rather large,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

The plan is to have play happen each weeknight over three months. Teams of two to four players sign up to play at a certain time on a certain day SA国际影视传媒� they can pick SA国际影视传媒� and play on the course chosen for that week. Each team plays nine holes per round and scores will be calculated on an individual basis.

SA国际影视传媒淭he team is just who youSA国际影视传媒檙e playing with, kind of like a group out on the course,SA国际影视传媒� said Vornbrock. SA国际影视传媒淲hatever a player scores each night will be their score and not for the team.SA国际影视传媒�

There will be proper scorecards for each player each night and any handicap cards must be completed before players tee off, she added.

Vornbrock said the number of players a team has will probably determine how long a round takes.

SA国际影视传媒淔or example, if you have four players, it should take around two hours, and two players will take around an hour,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淲e can accommodate between 10 to 12 teams of four players each and we have five teams already signed up.SA国际影视传媒�

One of those teams includes Shaun Morris, president of the Yellowknife Golf Club, who said anything that gets people out and swinging the clubs is a good thing.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 great to be able to keep the muscles active and a great way to play during the winter,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檝e had a few indoor simulators over the years SA国际影视传媒� 40 Below and After 8 Pub are a couple SA国际影视传媒� and I hope this one sticks around.SA国际影视传媒�

The golf club has had a working relationship with Vornbrock for a while as Stake Restaurant, which she also operates, has held the contract for the clubhouse for the past three seasons, with a fourth upcoming next season, Morris added.

Morris helped pick out the courses that will be in play each week. He was even able to match some weeks with courses that will be in play during the new PGA season.

SA国际影视传媒淲eek three is the PGA National Champion Course, where the Honda Classic will be played that weekend,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淭he next week is at Bay Hill Club and Lodge and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 where the Arnold Palmer Invitational is held.SA国际影视传媒�

Some of the other well-known courses in the loop include Torrey Pines, which has hosted two U.S. Open Championships; Pinehurst No. 2, which plays host to The Players Championship and Royal Troon, part of the British Open loop.
