Facing the first hole of the New Course at St. Andrews, Scotland, one mid-December day, Chattanoogan Justin Cofield split the fairway with his drive, then left his approach short of the green before salvaging his par.
He did every bit of that — virtually — at The Back Nine Golf, the business he and his wife, Kristina, opened last month on the corner of Highway 153 and Lee Highway.
“You can play 250 courses” at Back Nine, thanks to Trackman technology, Justin Cofield says, adding that the lineup includes Pebble Beach, Spanish Bay and Spyglass Hill. “And we’ve got lots of games for the young and young at heart.”
Justin Cofield says launching a golf-oriented business felt like a good fit, given his lifelong love of the game.
