Systems providing virtual recreations of golfing environments through computer programs form the core of simulated golf. These applications allow users to experience various golf courses without physically being present at those locations. As an example, such applications might feature a digital rendering of Pebble Beach Golf Links, enabling a player to virtually navigate the course and play rounds.
The value of these simulated environments extends to several areas. For instructors, the technology offers a controlled environment for teaching and analysis, allowing for precise evaluation of swing mechanics and ball flight characteristics. For players, it provides an opportunity for practice and entertainment regardless of weather conditions or geographic limitations. Its origins lie in the convergence of computer graphics, physics engines, and sensor technology, gradually evolving to offer increasingly realistic simulations.
