Play A Round Inside

Golf Simulators are a hot reasonably new product.  Essitentially, a golfer can use his own real clubs and a real ball and literally play a round of golf inside.  These simulators use a variety of sensors to detect velocity, trajectory, and spin.  The golf shots are then project on a screen and then the player contiunes his or her round.  Also, it allows a golfer to choose a venue such as St. Andrews or Augusta National.

This is a great technological break through.  It is easy to use and it allows a realistic simulation of a round of golf from one’s own home.  I think the developers should take it one step further which would make this simulator really apply to informatics.   I think they should install a program where a golfer can build a profile which stores statistics such as average score, average distance on drives, total holes played, best scores, etc.  It would give the user a lot of information, and it would be easy to track his or her progress.  An analysis of this information can lead to better scores.
