Indoor golf is still a relatively new phenomenon in Switzerland, as it is in many other parts of Europe, but we see a huge potential for growth and look forward to seeing more RUFF facilities opening up in Switzerland soon.”<br>RUFF Golf already has three facilities in the DACH region and 11 in Sweden through a franchise arrangement. In December, RUFF Düsseldorf will also open and next year there are plans to open at least six more in DACH.<br>Bengtson added: “Interest in golf is growing, and there is a need for new ways to play and socialise in order for it to grow further. That’s exactly what RUFF offers. We want to revolutionise golf and make it more accessible.” <br><br>This year's Sustainable Golf Week, which was held from November 10-17, was marked across the world, with countries from Australia to Dubai, the UK to Canada, and from the United States to Vietnam and Portugal.<br>The PGA of America has announced the appointment of Jenny Lewis as Executive Director of the PGA of America REACH Foundation.<br>Golf Genius, the leading provider of cloud-hosted golf software solutions, has announced an agreement with the PGA of Australia to provide its PGA Members with exclusive access to its market-leading coaching solution, CoachNow.<br><a href="https://twitter.com/home?status=https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/practice-range-and-teaching/ruff-golf-rolls-out-indoor-golf-concept-in-switzerland/" rel="noopener" data-via="eGolfBusiness" data-hashtags="GolfBusinessNews">Share on Twitter</a> <br><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/practice-range-and-teaching/ruff-golf-rolls-out-indoor-golf-concept-in-switzerland/&title=RUFF+Golf+rolls+out+indoor+golf+concept+in+Switzerland&source=GolfBusinessNews.com" rel="noopener">Share on LinkedIn</a><br>GolfBusinessNews.com (GBN) is for the many thousands of people who work in the golf business all around the world.<br>We cover the full range of topics both on and off the course.
