The weather outside is frightful here in central Ohio, which means one thing. Nonprofit gala fundraisers are back! There are also copious amounts of corporate kickoffs, networking events aplenty and conventions galore competing for space on your calendar.

Drink tickets and tasty hors d’oeuvres? Yes, please! Icebreakers and painfully forced small talk? Ummmm…maybe not so much. Wouldn’t it be great if you could offer something fun and different at your next event? Turns out you can—and you don’t have to do anything to make it happen. 

If the water cooler talk revolves around what happens on the course last summer, there’s an easy answer for your crowd. Just Swing Golf Co. operates a premier mobile golf simulator service that’s perfect for your next event at home or for the office. The company offers an indoor option—great for winter events—and a slightly larger outdoor simulator setup. All you need is people!

Just Swing isn’t just in it for the heavy hitters. First and foremost, it’s there for kicks. “We’re about creating a fun, interactive experience for golfers and non-golfers alike,” says co-owner Jacob Skowronsky. Just Swing’s simulators are designed to be social, approachable and customizable to any event. They can be set up for longest drive contests, closest-to-the-pin challenges or just casual swing sessions.

The social aspect of the sport is one thing that drives the Just Swing Golf ownership group. “Not everyone has time to get out on the course,” says Skowronsky, “but everyone enjoys a fun, social, and interactive experience.” He continues, “We wanted to create something that brings people together, introduces more people to the game, and adds a unique element to any event.” 

While some golf businesses focus only on players, Just Swing focuses on creating memories and entertainment around the game. “At the heart of what we do is a love for golf,” says Skowronsky. “Our goal is to create an experience that’s fun, welcoming and memorable.” Two of the three Just Swing Golf owners are armed services veterans, so a commitment to service, teamwork and dedication is built into their business. 

Event planners and corporate party coordinators take note. Deep in the heart of corporate and nonprofit event season, you have your options. Given the choice between having your guests staring at their feet and talking about the weather or gripping it and ripping it over cocktails and golf tales, what are you going to do? 

Don’t watch your colleagues strain trying to make conversation. Instead, watch them grab a driver and blast a Titleist down a simulated fairway. And support a veteran-owned business while you’re at it.
