While the lingering summer temperatures may have everyone fooled, fall and winter weather is on its way to relieve us of the seemingly relentless heat. For many states, the transition from scorching heat to blistering cold comes quickly and many sports enthusiasts, both athletes, and non-athletes are forced to retreat indoors. This is disappointing and destructive to the progression of playing ability, so, many areas have adapted to the climatic conditions to provide sporting solutions.
Minnesota is well known for its air-filled chambers that house synthetic turf fields both for practice facilities and the Viking’s previous stadium, the Metrodome. These giant structures protect players from outdoor elements including rain and snow. The city of Edina, Minnesota recognized the value of these dome structures and elected to construct a designated golf dome that is distinguished as the largest and longest hitting dome within the area and is complete with a putting green so players can work to improve all aspects of their game. Of course, these structures would not be complete without the technology of synthetic turf. Edina’s Golf Dome was built in 2013 and outfitted with Act Global’s superior artificial grass system, Xtreme Turf. The dense and durable fibers have helped the dome become a pillar within the community-especially during the winter months.
If you are ever in the area, be sure to check out the Braemar Golf Dome!
