The software that I am using to simulate the courses is GSPro. There are hundreds of courses on there. It's got just about every course you could imagine.
Launch monitors come with their own software too and there are a few other options for simulating courses. E6 is one and GolfClub2019 is another. AwesomeGolf. GSPro is hard to beat though.
For launch monitors, there are two main types: camera based and radar.
Garmin offers the most affordable radar based option with R10 for around $600.
Bushnell offers an all camera model and for $2000 you get all the ball data. For a subscription fee you can play GSPro and other 3rd party golf apps using the Bushnell and for another fee you can get all the club data. This model sits beside the ball.
FlightScope has a launch monitor that operates with radar and/or camera and sits behind the player. For about $1800 you can get the ball data and its free to connect it to GSPro. For another $1200 you can get club data, with impact location. It's unreal how accurate this thing is. I've had mine for about a year, and since then they have pushed some incredible updates, including what they call "Fusion", which is combining the camera and radar for readings. Its how their really expensive 20k+ unit works.
At the very top end there are monitors that go on the ceiling and give you readings from there. And then there are commercial simulators where the floor will move up and down. It really never ends. One company showcased lighting from above that shows you where you should putt. It never ends. . .
It’s helped me immensely. Just recently I feel like I’ve really broken thru to another level. I played real golf last week and had the best round of my life. Shot par+2 on the back on what’s considered one of the toughest courses in the area. Crushed the group I was with.I was teeing off first- I’m usually the guy not keeping score because it’s gonna be 110-130…
I had never practiced golf in my life(late 30’s) and would play 5-8 rounds every summer for last 10 ish years. So I had a ton of room for improvement. I also grew up playing competitive tennis, so the repetition of hitting a lot of balls is familiar and scratches an ich I’ve longed for.
I’ve just learned so much about golf from simulating golf that I never would have taken the time to learn.
And I’m sorta anti lessons and more learn on my own. So the sim is right up my alley. It’s also great exercise. 330 cals in less than an hour and I can play 18 in less than 40 mins…
I think everyone agrees it makes you a great ball striker. At the very least. Then the rest is golf. Which can be very very very tricky, even for the best of players.
