GPS Golf Simulation Software, is currently, and will continue to be, the world's most advanced Golf Simulator. This Golf Simulator is the first to allow Golf courses to be easily created using either GPS data or photographs and plans. Enabling Golf Clubs, Golf Centres and Enthusiasts the ability to have their own or local golf course three dimensional simulated, quickly, affordably and in most languages.

Using the very latest software technology, we are able to offer every possible feature, on each and every golf simulator in the world. Plus additional features created by our R & D department and features our customers, demand. If your Course has been mapped out, why not be able to play your own golf course virtually, indoors?

Either play your Course during the evening or whenever the course is closed!

"Tremendous Fun!" "Hit the ball with a driver and see it soar down the fairway some 260 yards while your playing partner hits several trees down the left hand side of the fairway before falling in the water, with a splash!!! Second shot to the green flies over the flag, by some 18 feet. While your partner finds a greenside bunker and then proceeds to hole his bunker shot. With a guide to the line of the putt it's an easy birdie, one up !!! and on to the next".

"Great Value for Money". Golf Simulators are a great investment. Used at Golf Clubs, Golf Academies, Hotels, Shopping Centres, Business Parks, Country Clubs, Leisure Centres, Tennis Centres, Cruise Liners, Holiday Parks and Hospitality Areas, the opportunities to generate income are endless. Although golf simulators have been around for some 30 years, the high price has often put a potential business off purchasing. Sports Coach Systems have over 50 years experience within the Golf Industry and because they manufacture the largest range of simulators and software programs in the world, they can produce a GPS Golf Simulator for a fraction of the price of other systems on the market.

Sports Coach Systems are able to customise the simulator to suit the particular requirements for your home or business. So, if you have the room to swing a golf club, then Sports Coach Systems have the technology to build you a system. "The Only Difference Between a GPS Golf Simulator and A Round of Golf is the Walk."

GPS Golf Simulator is great fun and very easy to play.

The Main Menu has been designed so that the navigation is very quick and easy to use.  The Main Menu allows you to Play a new game; Restart a previous game; Longest Drive competitions; Nearest to Pin competitions; Virtual Range practise driving; Virtual Range practise chipping; Virtual Putt practise putting and Exit to Windows.

Play Screen allows golfers to simply start a game.
Course - select from the list of available courses.
Competition - select from the list of games available.
Holes - select either 18 holes, front 9, back 9 or individual holes.
Players - allows you to select the players from the database.
Clouds - select from none, few or many. Weather - select fine, gusty or rain; future conditions will include snow.
Exit to Main Screen, Defaults to Defaults Screen and Play to start game.

Allows previous players' details to be quickly entered into new games. As the players data has been previously saved this includes name, tee box, handicap, preferred hand, boost and the preferred clubs in their bag. This data can be edited by the golfer, if required.

Defaults screen has various settings that can be altered by the centre and golfers alike. Most golfers will not go to this screen as they will accept the standard settings and start their golf. The settings that can be altered are Sounds, Green Firmness, Green Speed, Putting Options, Putting Alignment, Display Timer, Re-Hits, Game Timer, Languages and Contests.

Helicopter Flybys occur automatically, before teeing off. So that you are fully aware of the difficulty and beauty of each and every hole. During the flyby you will also notice the incredible realism of the simulator, with leaves and even grass moving with the wind. The reflective shadows of water move as you fly, and you view the extreme detail of the plants and fauna.

During the game you are able to view the playing information, wind and club information in the top left. The bottom left gives the top view and distance information. Where as in the bottom right you can change the playing view by pressing the arrow right or left buttons, or bring up the options.

Flying with the Ball, golfers find the experience of flying through the air with the ball extreme fun. As you follow the exact flight path of the ball, through to landing on the ground and rolling along the ground, until its final resting place. The ball flight perspective can also be defaulted to the traditional view of a ball trail on a static screen.

Shot Results appear for a set time after every shot, showing detailed swing information. Such as ball speed, total distance, carry, roll, lie position with a visual, distance to cup, shot elevation, club head speed, tempo, swing path and club face angle. The next golfer to play is shown, along with distance to cup and suggested club. Replays buttons allow forward replay, destination replay and reverse replay as listed below.

Reverse Replay is very popular, particularly when hitting a shot to a green. As it shows the ball rolling along, the exact contours of the green. In this replay the weather conditions were set to rain, so you can actually see it raining. This is the world's first simulator to have the unique faciliuty; in the future you will be able to select weather conditions from thunderstorms through to snow storms.

Options allows you to select show flag, helicopter fly-by, scorecard, re-hit, practise, drop ball, next player, hole out, show ball, close and escape the game.

During the Game you can view or print out the scorecard for the course.

Virtual Practise is ideal for the golf shots. Whether that happens to be 300 yard drives, long irons, simple chip shots and bunker shots. With regular practice swing faults can be corrected, then retire to the green, to improve one's putting touch. So why not use the most comprehensive practise facility that has ever been devised.

Virtual Practise is ideal for the golfer wishing to practise a full range of golf shots. Whether that happens to be 300 yard drives long irons, simple chip shots and bunker shots. With regular practice swing faults can be corrected, then retire to the green, to improve one's putting touch. So why not use the most comprehensive practise facility that has ever been devised.

This allows golfers to resume a game of golf that previously they had to leave. A number is given for the Saved Game, so it is very easy to select the saved game the next time the golfers play, resuming their game where it was previously left.

Time Limit allows the golf centre to select and control how long games of golf take. The time left to play is shown, throughout the game, in the bottom left hand corner. When the time limit is completed, the game will stopand can then be saved.

Allowing Golf Centres to maximise revenue by display adverts, before each hole is played. Advertisements are easily created and will automatically be displayed, by hole number as opposed to golf course. Guaranteeing advertisers maximum exposure on each golf simulator, during game play.

There are 2 interfaces for the program, the touch screen and the mouse interface. Commercial installations tend to prefer the touch screen version, as Golfers find the easier version

There are 2 putting methods available, using the Putting Simulator or the Simulator Mat.  They are both extremely accurate and realistic giving a true and exact representation of the putt; both measure direction within a degree and ball speen to 1/100th of a mile an hour. This means the putt is measured accurately over the contoured 3 dimensional gree, for each particular putt that is played.

This program is so advanced that it can be translated into any language. Current languages include English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. If you wish to purchase GPS Simulator and require it in your own Language please let us know, so we can get the program translated for you.

The Sports Coach System can now incorporate GPS Golf simulator.  The wide range of features includes:

First, using 3D Modelling techniques, we create the approximate shape of each and every golf hole, in relation to the golf course. Defining the shape of the fairways, the greens, tee boxes and trees, so that the layout of the golf course can be mapped.

Secondly, we transfer the exact global positioning data to shape the layout. Taking reference points throughout each hole, to mark out the curvature of the fairway, curvature of the green and plotting trees. The trees are selected from the vast object database, so that a true representation appears.

Thirdly, we transfer the GPS data for the larger and smaller objects, so that we can set about drawing the items in; such as tee boxes, rough, bunkers, lakes, buildings, streams, cart paths, trees, islands, rocks, ball makers, etc. The course becomes recognisable at this stage.

Fourthly, we add in the elevations for the entire course and objects, so that all the contours as defined from the satellite data are mapped out for the greens, fairways, rough, etc. In addition, we transfer the correct measurements for all fixed objects, such as trees.

The Course is then ready to be played!

Tournament Play is possible because of the player's database and the Internet capability. So golfer's can play weekly online tournaments, whether local, national or worldwide. For instance, there may be a medal at Pine Springs golf course this week, next week a Stableford at the Faldo golf course and the week after a Skins matchg at Russet Hills golf course. With the GPS golf simulator having an ever increasing number of golf courses created, continuous competitions will become the norm.

Sports Coach now offer the DVD Cinema as standard on the Simulator. So when not playing golf, why not sit down with your family and friends, put a DVD in the player and watch a full screen movie, in the comfort of your own home.

Sports Coach can now offer a Television Tuner Card as standard on the Simulator. A television engineer will need to link your aerial and satellite, if required. So, why not invite your friends around to watch movies, sports events and ordinary programmes, when not playing golf.

Allows the gamers within the family the ultimate in gaming experience. It is possible to play computerised games from the PC as well as linking in gaming consoles such as X-Box, Playstation 2 and Game Cube.
