Golf Simulator In Depth Guide by BOGolf Website: bogolf.com
Introduction Since you are here, it indicates that you already have heard about golf simulators and might also be a bit familiar with it. I am presenting this article to make people familiar with every aspect of golf simulators. Most of the simulator companies lack the information on their website about simulators and are only filled with sales letters and doesnt really help the readers to understand about the system. Here I have tried to explain everything about it including the features, the use and the technology.
What are golf simulators? First thing first, a simulator as you know is a device which allows you to have the real experience of any activity without doing it in real but in a virtual setup. Golf simulators also allow you to play golf on simulated golf courses, i.e. virtual golf courses without being present on the real course. It does have its pros and cons but I bet you wont find any better alternative of playing golf. These sims can be called as true simulators because you actually play the game as you do in the real environment as opposed to the simulation games like truck simulator etc.
The setup: Part 1 Like any simulator, this would also need some physical setup. Basically we are looking for a setup which would give us the feeling of actually being present on the course while playing the game. For this a room with a decent space is needed and a huge projector screen is installed on one of the walls where the beautiful courses will be displayed with the use of a projector mounted on the ceiling. Some people also opt for curved screen which might increase the realistic factor.
The setup: Part 2 In addition to this you will need a computer system, the simulator software package and the various sensors which come with the simulator. Do not forget to carry your golf club set and balls. The projector part can be excluded if you are ready to compromise on the realistic factor and would only use it to practice. Only a computer with a decent monitor is enough to play and practice this game. Other accessories required are the hitting mat, tee to simulate real course conditions and lights for proper functioning of the sensors.
The setup: Part 3 I would definitely recommend getting the projector and screen if you want to enjoy the detailed golf courses which come with the package. Since the setup usually does not occupy the middle space and is done on the sides of the wall, the room can be utilized for other purposes when the simulator is not in use.
The Working - I Golf sport is all about the players with their clubs and the golf courses. While playing on simulator, the player part remains real while the courses get virtual. The simulation software connects the real shots of the players to the virtual golf courses using various sensors.
The Working - II The player starts by hitting the ball from hitting zone. The ball hits the screen and bounces back. While all this was happening, the sensors were busy collection all the possible information from the moment the ball was being hit till the ball reaches the screen and then providing all the data to the software to manipulate the distance depending on the various factors such as speed, spin, angle etc. After the calculations the screen shows the ball travelling and getting the desired distance. While it looks like a long process, it hardly takes any time and you can see the feedback instantly after you hit the ball on the giant screen without any noticeable delay.
The Working - III It comes with many real life golf courses like pebble beach and the courses are built by collection various data from the real courses using maps and images to make it look like the actual course. Many players can compete at once. Players can even compete over internet or a local network.
Features It is not only a tool to play the game but it also has some useful features which can be used for analysis of your game. Some of the common features are video swing analysis, ball flight analysis, club fitting, ball fitting, stereoscopic 3D game play and network play. Details about the features can be found here.
List of Common Features 9 -Ball Flight/D-Plane Analization Swing Path Slow Motion Replay Club Face Slow Motion Replay Club Head Speed Display Ball Speed Display Spins Display/Side Spin/ Back Spin Smash Factor Ball Launch Angle Display Frame by Frame Video Replay Video Analyzer Video Comparison/You & Professionals Network Play Swing Comparison
Utility: There is no doubt that it is beneficial for player to practice the game, however there are many more things where it can be used. Some of the common uses are mentioned below. Training Business Entertainment
Utility: Training Since it provides so many features like swing angle, ball spin, speed etc. for analyzing the game , it is the top choice for most of the golf trainers to train beginners as well professional players. It is so simple that you can even train yourself in the absence of trainers.
Utility: Business Hotels, resorts and club houses can install simulators to increase the inflow of the crowd and in turn create new business opportunities. In fact many people also rent simulators just for their event to attract more people from the business class as golf is a great attraction for the classes.
Utility: Entertainment Not everyone aim to become a professional golfer. There are some people who just want to use it for playing casual game with friends on weekend. This can easily be installed in home and offices to simply entertain the guests and employees. Not to forget that it can also be used to watch movies and play other games.
