Introduction to Indoor GPS Golf Simulators

The Sports Coach simulator system is a state of the art, camera based golf simulator. Up until now simulators have worked by using sensors of some form. Generally they will use a light break system to track the club-head. Ball flight is then ‘guessed’ from the club information. This is a very inaccurate way of simulating ball flight.

The Sports Coach system uses HIGH SPEED CAMERAS, tracking the golf ball in much the same way as ‘Hawk Eye’ does in the tennis and cricket. One is mounted in the ceiling; it tracks ball speed, direction and spin.  The second is mounted at floor level to the side, this tracks vertical launch angle and ball speed. A 3D model of flight is therefore produced from stationary ball on the tee to impact of the screen. The result is a amazingly accurate ball flight and a indoor golf experience that is second to none.

The golf courses are all GPS mapped, they too are very realistic. Surrounding scenery and buildings are all mapped in for total realism. The system also has 60 famous name golf courses, the majority of which are European based. These include the likes of The Belfry, St Andrews, Pebble Beach, Old Head and many more. There are also over 50 courses in development.

Any of the golf courses can have corporate logos and banners added to them. This is software based and easy to achieve, it can therefore be updated easily by the user.

Sports Coach simulators are more reasonably priced than some competitors.  The simulator market has evolved at a rapid rate over the past 5 years,  it was once the case that  in a commercial environment only one system was suitable for installation, the high price reflects this. Technology has advanced beyond this product and when developed in the correct manner becomes more reasonably priced. The product is developed and manufactured In the UK and is therefore not imported thus reducing the end cost. 

The lower cost does not reflect quality or accuracy in any way, systems are installed  using the highest quality components and finishing materials. As an example we finish all floors with professional putting turf, not only does this make the simulator look fantastic it improves the experience of putting on the system. 
 The system is used installed in Private Houses as standalone simulators or as part of an integrated Home Cinema System. It is used in indoor golf centres where PGA Professionals teach on the system for many hours each day.

It is also used in Hotels, Shopping Centres, Business Parks, Country Clubs, Leisure Centres, Tennis Centres, Cruise Liners, Holiday Parks and Hospitality Areas.
Although golf simulators have been around for some 30 years, the high price has often put a potential business off purchasing. Sports Coach Systems have over 50 years experience within the Golf Industry and because they manufacture the largest range of simulators and software programs in the world, they can produce a GPS Golf Simulator for a fraction of the price of other golf systems on the market.

Sports Coach Systems are able to customise the simulators to suit the particular requirements for your home or business. So, if you have the room to swing a golf club, then Sports Coach Systems have the technology to build you a system. "The Only Difference Between a GPS Golf Simulator and A Round of Golf is the Walk."
