Has anyone been to play virtual Golf?

Question

Has anyone been to play virtual Golf? What did you think of it? Before you say do the real thing. We are going night and none of us are big Golf fans, so we are not interested in playing a normal round of golf, this just sounds like a bit of fun.

Answer 1

I've played on a simulator (the kind where you are in a room and use your own clubs and hit the ball at a screen) and it was fun since they also served food & beverage.   Don't think it really helped my game any, and it costs a bit of cabbage....

Answer 2

I played a round on a golf simulator and enjoyed the experience. It is not anything like real golf. But fun none the less. As mentioned above it can be very expensive.

One nice thing about them is that they can track your swing for you in terms of speed and clubface, whether it is open closed and by how much.

The drawback to these simulators is that they have to be calibrated just right so that they actually simulate real ball flight. I tried out one of their simulators that was not callibrated and I hit the ball well over 600yards. So there is that question in my mind of how accurate they are.

Answer 3

Loved it Mikey, I basically got rat-arsed and fell over every time I took a swing, when one of our group let go of the club and watched it rip a big hole in their screen I laughed for about 3 days.

Have a few beers, relax and laugh at every one, remember it's just a game and treat it like a game of Bowling.

Enjoy

Answer 4

Played golf on my Wii, that's about as close to virtual golf as i've gotten.

Have fun

Answer 5

The only virtual golf I have been removely interested in has been with the one at the pro shop when you are demo'ing clubs.  It is not real, but it is the closest thing to it.

The wife has bought me a couple of virtual games, but once you have had the real thing it is hard to settle for less.

Answer 6

i played it once. i didn't like it, but then again i don't like real golf either. i almost killed myself when i saw  "the greatest game ever played"

Answer 7

i've also played on wii and its really fun and somewhat addicting.

Answer 8
