Golf Simulation

When we were talking about Borgman’s hike simulation during class it reminded me of a product that I have seen before. It is a golf simulator and it is quite unbelievable. The player has the ability to use his own clubs, his own golf balls and has the opportunity to play at courses from St. Andrew’s, Scotland to Pebble Beach, California. This is great for the golf junkies that can’t play during the cold winter months. The sensors on the machine are very accurate and the graphics are phenomenal as well. It is relatively inexpensive to play at a place like Dave and Buster’s, which is another benefit of the system, but nothing compares to going out and getting the full experience of playing the sport. Just like Borgman’s thought process of the hike simulation, you do not get the full effect of actually taking place in the activity no matter how realistic the simulation seems to be.
