VIRTUAL TEE TEAM

Zach Norris is a Partner at Virtual Tee Systems and has been involved in the golf simulator industry since 2020. Coincidentally, that's also the year he discovered his passion for golf. What started as a new hobby quickly grew into a love for the game and the technology that makes it more accessible to players of all skill levels. 

Since entering the industry, Zach has focused on helping golfers, businesses, and entertainment venues find the right simulator solutions for their needs. Having started his own golf journey through simulator technology, he understands the impact it can have on learning, improving, and enjoying the game at any level.

Zach believes golf is more than just a sport—it's an experience that brings people together. Through Virtual Tee Systems, he is committed to helping others enjoy the game, improve their skills, and create lasting memories both on and off the course.

Andy Roach leads Virtual Tee Systems’ New England branch. With over 15 years of experience in corporate technology, I have built a career centered around delivering innovative solutions, managing complex systems, and helping businesses leverage technology to achieve their goals. Over the past four years, I have expanded my expertise into high-end audio/video systems, networking, and custom technology integration, designing and implementing tailored solutions that enhance both residential and commercial environments.

Golf has always been my passion, and for years I searched for a way to combine my love of the game with my technology background. That search led me to the world of golf simulators—a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and the sport I love. Today, I specialize in creating immersive golf simulation experiences, bringing together precision technology, custom integration, and a deep understanding of the game to help golfers practice, play, and enjoy golf year-round.
