Virtual Golf clubs – Can Computers Improve Your Game?

If it’s raining outdoors or it’s too cold for even the most fanatic of golf fans, can swinging virtual golf clubs help? Nothing can replace the real thing, but many people believe playing virtual golf games can help their game.

Mobile magic

Even mobile phones are tapping into the golf craze; Nokia has launched a golf edition phone which combines mobile video capabilities with a golf programme that lets you capture you swinging your golf clubs, then it analyzes and improves your game with a split screen comparison.

The application captures angles and distances and golf pros can debate opinions or share lessons using their mobile via email and multimedia messages.

As well as videoing yourself swinging your golf clubs, you can plug your phone into your TV for a widescreen experience. The phone is on sale in shops and selected golf clubs.

If you are in pursuit of being the best player ever and want to give Tiger Woods a run for his money, than you need to put in the time and effort.

With golf simulation you can:

• Create an amateur golfer and guide them to becoming a pro.
• Hire a coach to improve your skills when you swing your golf clubs.
• Download and create your own courses.

Starting off as an amateur your golfer takes lessons to improve their skills. You can then hire a coach, buy equipment such as golf clubs and set up a training schedule.
