Driving the downtown fairways

Kiwi coach blazing trail with indoor academies

Tucked away in the basement of a shopping center in downtown Xiamen, Fujian province, is a sprawling 1,300-square-meter facility that is equipped with hi-tech golf simulators, putting greens and an enclosed sand bunker.

This impressive space is not a gaming arcade but rather a state-of-the-art indoor academy designed to bring the sport to the masses.
