Full Swing Golf Course Simulator
The Full Swing Golf simulator stands 13 feet wide, 20 feet long, and 10.5 feet high, and lets you play 50 courses such as Pebble Beach and St. Andrews, from the comfort of your own home. I've written about this setup before, and it looks like it's just gotten better over time.
With the system, you hit a golf ball normally, and 688 different sensors and a Windows PC figure out the ball's trajectory. That's then translated to the life sized photo realistic screen to show you where your ball actually goes. Just like it would if you were really on the course.
The simulator comes with a couple of nice additions in it's newest incarnation. First is the practice program that lets you hit drives, approach shots, uphill/downhill shots, and hundreds of other situations. It also shows you the ball's flight, and keeps your overall stats. The second is the addition of online tournaments. You can play 3, 6, 9, or 18 holes, and closest to the pin with other people from around the world.
The price for this much machine isn't cheap, coming in at about $55,000, and you can learn more about it at the Full Swing Golf site HERE.
