OptiGolf Teams up with The First Tee of Syracuse for Reopening

Jun 12th, 2013

OptiGolf is back in the swing of things and will re-open on the third level

Syracuse, NY- OptiGolf is teeing off their reopening by pairing up with The First Tee of Syracuse on Saturday, June 15. The First Tee of Syracuse is a program that teaches kids from the Syracuse City School District the game of golf. OptiGolf provides these kids a new opportunity to play on 96 different golf courses from all over the world. A whole week of re-opening activities is planned with competitions and giveaways. OptiGolf now serves cookies and ice cream at the newly refurbished bar and has brand new tables and chairs, making it even easier to enjoy the 19th hole.

The Golf n’ Entertainment venue is collaborating with The First Tee of Syracuse to help raise awareness of the non-profit. The First Tee program teaches youth life skills through golf. The program introduces golf through physical education classes in elementary schools and aids in discipline development.

OptiGolf at Destiny USA is only one of four OptiGolf locations in the world. The simulators are updated and accurate because OptiGolf uses high-speed camera technology with the latest golf course graphics. Even putting is realistic, as each putt inside 20 feet requires the golfer to read the slopes of the greens to a real putting cup. OptiGolf provides the luxury of having the ability to play famous and highly desirable golf courses from all over the world.

“We are very eager for the reopening of OptiGolf,” Rob Schoeneck, General Manager of Destiny USA. “We have the IMAX Theater opening up the same weekend along with Father’s Day so the timing of their reopening couldn’t have been more perfect. We also thrilled to welcome The First Tee of Syracuse golfers to Destiny USA.” 

“A program like the First Tee of Syracuse is very close to my heart,” Mark Wekara, Owner of OptiGolf. “I have experienced first-hand how the game of golf can be life changing to young adults. Golf has taught my son the importance of discipline and edict from a very young age and is something that is deeply instilled within him some twenty years later.”

OptiGolf is located on the third level between Pole Position Raceway and the new Regal IMAX and RPX.
