How Do Golf Simulators Work?
Golf Fanatics, See What You’re Missing with a Home Golf Simulator
Unlike running or yoga, golf is a hobby that can’t be done on a whim at home or in the neighborhood. You have to book time at the club, load up the car, and head to the golf course. And when the weather is poor or if you don’t have time for all eighteen holes, you may find yourself unable to partake in your favorite sport.
That’s where a golf simulator helps. It isn’t Wii Sports or an arcade game; professionals use golf simulators for their precise reactions and measurements. But how does a golf simulator work? Continue reading to see how it will function in your Charlotte, NC home.

Difference Between Golf Simulator and Launch Monitor
Many people mistake golf simulators and launch monitors as the same thing. But if you’re serious about golf, you’ll want to be sure you invest in a golf simulator and not accidentally purchase a launch monitor. A launch monitor is a system that analyses various measurements of your golf shot. It will capture the ball speed, spin, angle, carry, flight path, etc. However, golf simulators take it a step further. With the data provided, it will accurately simulate the shot on a hyper-realistic virtual golf course. Golf simulators by GolfZon are a complete package with everything you need for golf simulation. With only a launch monitor, you’re missing half of the benefits.
The Projection System
As we said, a GolfZon simulator is a complete system with all the components you require for a lifelike experience. Your setup will include a 4K HDR projector with a custom projection impact screen. The screen is built with a durable, webbed material that is meant for impact from golf balls, which is crucial because you’ll be aiming right at it! The sharp image quality emitted from the projector will immerse you in the course, helping you focus on the game.
Ball Flight Tracker & Swing Analysis
Two high-speed camera sensors will be installed on your ceiling to accurately trace your club’s motion and the ball’s flight. Below your feet, you’ll have a smart sensor mat that knows the pressure and position of your feet. The simulator technology delivers fast, accurate data of the ball’s virtual path. It will locate the ball’s precise location after your swing and instantly gathers the speed, backspin, distance, and launch angle. The work you do with your simulator can transfer muscle memory and skills onto the real golf course later on. You’ll watch your skills and numbers progress in no time like you’re working with a real trainer.
Virtual Golf Course
With over 190 virtual golf courses to explore, you won’t find yourself bored with the simulator. You’ll experience the nuances of trees, bunkers, and patches of grass in real-life courses like St. Andrews Old, Pebble Beach, Celtic Manor, PGA National, and more. The 3D graphics produce unmatched realism, just like the true thing.
