Virtual Golf Anyone?

Test your skill on the toughest holes America has to offer. From Mauna Lani, a course carved out of an ancient lava flow on the coastline of Hawaii to the stark beauty of PGA West possibly the toughest course in the world, set against the rugged Santa Rosa Mountains in La Quinta, California.

The theater is equipped with a golf simulator that allows you to play a full game of golf. When you swing the 26 inch laser "golf club" over the electronic sensor grid, the game senses the speed and angle of your swing. Your on screen golf character makes the appropriate swing and you end up in the fairway or in the rough, on the green or in the sand trap. And yes, your slices, hooks and other real world problems follow you here. All the while a British sports telecaster announces the savvy of your every stroke.

The system was purchased from MINDFLUX of Australia. They sell V.R. gear.

Here is a short video clip of the Golf Simulator in action.

The video to the left, is a Windows Media Player format. Here is an MPEG version for download.

Watch closely and you can see the laser club head being projected onto the sensor array.

To select a different club, you simply turn a dial on the laser club.
