Kathy Erikson joins host Colin Weston on "The ModGolf Podcast" to discuss how a life-altering moment led her to create The Short Game Place.

"This is not putt-putt on steroids," she said of an indoor golf arena she opened nearly 30 years ago."This is real golf. Indoor par-2 holes that make the game welcoming for everyone, at any skill level."

And when Erikson's husband died nearly three years ago, she decided to dedicate her energies to create a golf experience that appeals to everyone – 24/7/365.
