There’s More To Golf Simulators Than Golf Simulation

Everyone knows that golf simulators re-create the game of golf in a virtual environment, but there is a wide range of other features with golf simulators that are not quite so widely known. Not only can you play your favourite courses from around the world, you can compete with others with quick play contests or develop you skills through practice programmes and analyse your strokes to correct errors and bad habits.

Cowlens install Sports Coach simulators. With these particular systems, forty golf courses are included as standard, so there is a huge amount of choice for the avid golfer. Surprisingly, a further 110 famous courses are also available as a bolt on package, should the 40 not be enough.

If you want to generate your own tournament, you can. Any course can be selected and any number of holes. The tournament can be created to last for as many hours, days or weeks as you like. The golf play mode is extremely flexible and even includes popular competition modes such as Stableford, Greensomes, Medal Stroke Play.

Quick play contests are a great alternative to playing a full round of golf. Quick play contests include longest drive, nearest to the pin or even putting. Not only are these features great for speedy group challenges, they are also useful in practice.

Speaking of practice, there are also special features designed specifically for this. The golf driving range feature can be adopted which displays performance data after each swing, including club speed, club face angle, distance and carry etc. You can even practice your chipping and putting skills and bunker shots or try the short game academy, which is a 143 yard course designed to help you improve your approach shots, pitch shots, chip and run and bunker shots (to name a few). With the short game academy players can even practice shots from the fairway, rough and long grass.

Simulators provide accurate feedback on your stroke so that you can fix those nasty habits. With high speed cameras observing your down-swing, impact position and follow through, your performance can be reported with astounding accuracy, which is why the simulator can even be used to help you find the right club and ball to suit your game with the custom fitting facility.

All in all there is more to a golf simulator than golf simulation. To find out more about what our simulators can offer, visit Cowlens.co.uk.
