Playing Virtual Golf - In Korea
November 2nd, 2007 by James
Since they don’t have a lot of flat places on Goeje Island - over here people either drive golf balls into a huge net box, or they play virtual golf. I’m serious - yesterday was the first time that I’ve hit a golf ball as hard as I could into a projection screen 10 feet away! So the way the “Golfzon” machine works is it has a laser telemetry system that measures the flight of the ball as it leaves the tee or grass, and it also takes a photo to measure the way the club head hits the ball. Then it displays the flight of the ball onto the screen w/ other data - for whatever golf course you choose. Last night, my friends were playing at pebble beach…:-)
