Title: Golden Tee for $$$
Post by: Rando on July 06, 2012, 02:06:44 pm

Did NOT know this was an option, but then again I don't go into bars very often.  Start practicing folks!

Mr. Kinzler goes to a bar to play golf every day. That's his job. He is one of about two dozen men around the country, mostly in their 30s and 40s, who make their living playing Golden Tee, the most popular cash videogame in the U.S. In a typical month, he plays about 600 games, competing against 49 other players at a time for a top prize of $10. He says he earned more than $50,000 last year.

we tried a live cabinet for 3 years. never even paid for itself. (machine+2 years of upgrades)

they had to have it cause people wanted it, and the "unplugged" version wasn't good enough.  :banghead:
