Description
Hook: A single golf simulator in a small commercial space turned into a repeatable, low-touch business that reached break-even in months. Original episode (~40 minutes) condensed to a tight 8-minute summary to save you time. In this condensed episode of The Koerner Office, host Chris Koerner interviews Jay Meldrum about Swing Cave Golf — a single-bay golf simulator membership model that reached break-even in three months and now pulls roughly $7,000/month with 50–55% net margins at scale. Learn the startup math (≈$100k buildout, $3,300/mo rent), pricing tiers (PAR, Birdie, Eagle), target customer (serious practice over entertainment), and the low-touch ops that make it scalable.
