The targets can be staked at 36" and 55" above the ground and they have numbered flags (1 to 9), allowing you to customize the course. The ground stakes ensure the targets remain true in sand, soil, or lawn. Ages 6 and up.

Authentic Swing Golf Simulator
at Hammacher Schlemmer
This is the most advanced golf simulator that can be played with any club in your golf bag and it allows you to swing with the same tempo and force as you would on an actual course. The included EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006 software visually renders your shots on your PC's monitor and you can play over 800 courses!
Embedded optical sensors in the turf measure clubhead speed, launch angle, swing path, and ball spin thousands of times every second, calculating the distance and trajectory of the ball.
Playing the video game is one thing, but having a simulator where you take real golf shots takes it to a whole new level. As you can see in the picture, you can even use video outputs from your computer to put this on your big screen TV. Very cool!
