Now though, you don't have to be as rich as a celebrity to indulge in the sport. You don't have to wait until the weekend to play, and you don't even have to get to a golf course... because Urban Golf has come to town.

Don your best Pringle jumper (the one with the diamonds on) and head over to Gt Pulteney St for simulated golf heaven (it's so sexy it's almost orgasmic). The 6,000 sq ft venue houses six state-of-the-art simulators which let you play over 50 courses around the world, including Spain's exclusive Valderrama, Scotland's St. Andrews, Pinehurst, Pebble Beach and Torrey Pines.

The booths feature Full Swing action and 'I can't believe it's not' real-type realism, and there's no dress code, no booking slots and no joining fee.

With the added bonus of no walking too - doesn't Urban Golf sound almost better than the real thing?
