February 2026 Birdie's Golf Lounge Newsletter

Nampa Idaho Opening In March

We’re excited to announce the upcoming opening of Birdie’s Golf Lounge in Nampa, Idaho. While an official opening date is still being finalized, the location is targeting an early March launch and momentum is already building fast. Nampa will be jumping straight into the Spring League, and we can’t wait to see how they stack up against the rest of the Birdie’s community right out of the gate.

Interest in the Nampa location has absolutely exploded, with golfers eager for a new place to compete, connect, and play year round. The response from the local golf community has been incredible, and it’s clear Birdie’s is arriving at the perfect time. We’re thrilled to welcome Nampa into the Birdie’s family and can’t wait to see the energy, competition, and culture they bring to the league.


January Closest to the Pin Winner

Congratulations to JT from St. George with a closest to the pin of 6 feet. JT won a brand new golf bag. With the new simulators we will no longer be having a challenge. Instead, keep an eye out for league starting up soon.


Spring League

During Winter League, both the A and B flights delivered unforgettable, down to the wire finishes. In A Flight, PinSeekers Anonymous and Jack and the Hackers were deadlocked heading into the final week, setting the stage for a true showdown on the last night. PinSeekers Anonymous managed to rise to the occasion, edging out Jack and the Hackers in a tight battle that came down to the final holes and secured the title in dramatic fashion.

B Flight somehow managed to top that excitement. The Back Tees Boys entered the final night with a comfortable multi stroke lead and looked poised to close it out, but the league had other plans. Out of nowhere, The Mulligan Mafia caught fire, charging from behind and sweeping the field to steal the win in stunning fashion. It was the kind of comeback that reminds everyone why league nights are so much fun, unpredictable, competitive, and packed with energy right until the very end.

The Spring League at Birdie’s Golf Lounge is just around the corner, and excitement is building for another season of competitive indoor golf. Teams will tee off on either Tuesday or Wednesday evenings at 7:30 PM, with play running from mid-March through late May. The league features a classic 4-person scramble format, perfect for golfers of all skill levels to team up, strategize, and chase weekly wins together. Along the way, players compete for custom prizes like engraved clubs, bags, and other rewards that recognize top performance throughout the season.

What makes this league special is its balance of competition and community. After a structured pre-season that helps sort teams into competitive flights, the regular season unfolds over several weeks, giving every squad plenty of chances to improve, rally, and make their mark. Multiple league days are available each week, so teams can choose the night that works best for them and even make up rounds if scheduling conflicts arise. Flights in A, B, and C ensure golfers of all abilities have a shot at success and have fun along the way. With prizes paid out deep into the field and a lively social atmosphere every week, the league offers both serious competition and great opportunities to meet fellow golf enthusiasts.


Swing A.I.

With our new partnership with Uneekor, we’ve unlocked some truly game changing technology at Birdie’s Golf Lounge. Swing A.I. uses a dual angle video capture of your swing and delivers instant feedback on key fundamentals, highlighting what’s working and what’s missing. In real time, it draws visual lines and markers directly on your swing so you can clearly see flaws and patterns that are almost impossible to feel on your own.

No A.I. is perfect, but after just a handful of swings it started pointing out habits I didn’t even realize I had. We’ve already seen real results from members using it consistently. One member, after working with Swing A.I. for about a month, added 15 yards to his driver by fixing a single fundamental he had never been able to identify before. If we averaged Birdie’s Golf Lounge player handicaps before and after using Swing A.I., I’d bet we’d see at least a five stroke improvement across the board. Come try it for yourself and actually see your swing like never before.


This Year At The PGA Show

At the PGA Show, the Birdie’s team got an exclusive look at Uneekor’s next evolution of A.I. swing coaching: Aimy. This isn’t just an upgrade to the existing real-time feedback tools — Aimy is being developed as a conversational, intelligent coaching platform that understands not just what your swing issues are, but also why they matter and how to fix them. Designed as a unified AI training system, Aimy delivers real-time swing assessments and long-term performance insights, and can adapt over time to your individual mechanics and patterns.

Unlike the standard swing analyzer that highlight faults, Aimy engages with you like a coach. She listens as you take swings, identifies the fundamentals that are most likely holding your game back, and can refocus on different areas based on what you want to work on. Early demos show her using ball and club data, camera feedback, and historical performance trends to drive personalized recommendations right away.

What really set Aimy apart at the show was her ability to provide context and learning resources alongside real-time guidance. If you’re struggling to groove a change or want extra help on a specific position or movement, Aimy can pull up curated drills and video references to reinforce the concepts she’s coaching you through. And because the system is built to remember your swing tendencies, she can spot long-term patterns — your average misses or recurring tendencies — and help you tailor practice sessions around them.

It’s an exciting glimpse into where golf training tech is heading: not just instant feedback, but a personalized A.I. coach that evolves with your game and helps you understand both what needs fixing and how to get there. Come experience Aimy firsthand at Birdie’s and see how this next-generation swing coach can take your improvement to a whole new level.
