FEATURES OF OUR GOLF
SIMULATORS:
Playing golf on our simulators is very much like playing
outdoors.
First, you can use your own clubs and balls.
Most people do, although rental sets are available.
Then you can warm up or practice before you play on the
simulator with our driving range feature. Hit some different
irons, drives, and even practice approach and chip shots.
You
should find that your distances on the simulator are very close
to what you do outdoors. Some stronger hitters may find they get
a little more distance.
Then you can pick a course to play from a choice of up to 45
different world class sites. You can choose various playing
conditions as listed below.
Your first view on the large 10 ft by 12 ft screen, is a
very clear, life like image of the real course you have chosen
with the real topography.
On
the tee, you will see the fairway ahead of you, as well as
the rough and nearby trees and hazards, just as you would if you
were playing outdoors. You may see the green in the distance on
long holes, unless you are playing a dogleg. On par 3's, the
green and flag will be in clear view, just like on a real
course.
You can also get an aerial view of the hole before you start
to get an appreciation of the layout, and also be able to get
distances to trees and other hazards that could come into play.
Then it's up to you to decide where you want to aim, and then
hit a great shot. The realism of playing golf hits home with
the verbal comments (congrats or occasional laughs) that follow
from your playing partners.
You
tee off as you normally would using a tee, then hit off
different mats that simulate the fairway, rough and sand. When
the ball is hit, sensors capture the speed, direction,
trajectory and spin, and instantaneously project an image of the
ball in flight on the screen. You will ultimately see it land
and bounce following the actual topography of the course.
Once
everyone has teed off, you will see a new view of the player
farthest away, and play the hole out just like you would
outdoors.
On
the Green. Putting requires that you get a feel for the
speed of the greens, adjust accordingly for uphill or downhill
putts, and play any break (left or right) that you will be able
to see on the green. It's just as challenging as outdoors. With
some luck, you can sink a 60 footer for a birdie.
And
just like outdoors, trees and hazards DO come into play, and
elevation changes and slopes add another dimension of challenge
on those uphill and downhill shots.
Last
but not least, you can get a hole-in-one if you hit a
great shot or get a lucky bounce! |
