Chantilly, Va. – GOLFZON, the world leader in golf simulator technology, announced that the championship match of the GOLFZON Tour Season 2 is set for Saturday, November 22, as Tee Times (Detroit) battles Golfplay (Toronto) in a 3-on-3 aggregate stroke-play match on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island.
