Fore! on Fourth opened its doors in Huntingburg on Wednesday, giving Fourth Street a new place to gather, play and linger downtown. The business pairs two golf simulators with access to roughly 2,525 PGA courses and fantasy courses, a setup meant to pull in golfers, casual players and anyone looking for something to do before or after dinner.

The venture is run by two couples with family ties, Tim and Trefin Luker and Derrick and Amy Williams. Derrick Williams, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, had first hoped to buy one of the buildings on Fourth Street because he liked the architecture and saw the purchase as a community investment. From there, Tim Luker suggested a golf simulator concept, and the idea quickly became a storefront rather than a long-range plan. Amy Williams said the whole thing had only been a dream for about four weeks.

That speed matters in a downtown like Huntingburg’s, where city officials describe the core as a historic district and say Fourth Street is lined with specialty shops and unique dining establishments. Fore! on Fourth adds an indoor entertainment option to that mix, the kind that can keep visitors downtown longer and stretch a quick stop into a meal, drinks or another purchase nearby. In a small downtown economy, that longer dwell time can be as important as the first visit.

The timing also gave the opening extra momentum. Fore! on Fourth came in just as the U.S. Open and Father’s Day were drawing attention to golf, giving the business a natural launch window for both serious players and people looking for a novelty outing. With simulator bays, a broad course library and a downtown location, the business is positioned as more than a niche recreation stop. It gives Huntingburg another locally owned destination that fits the city’s effort to turn downtown into a place for entertainment as well as shopping and dining.
