If you’re a big golfer, you know the pain of a rainy day or expensive green fees getting in the way of a good game. Whether looking to keep busy during bad weather days or sharpen your swing, there’s a way you can play real golf courses right in your living room: a virtual golf simulator.
Until July 14, you can get the Phigolf World Tour Edition simulator for only $190 (normally $249).
Golf around the world, right from home
Golfing at home will certainly not feel quite like the real thing, but this Kickstarter-funded simulator comes close. The compact trainer club connects to a virtual golf course displayed on your iOS or Android smartphone. You’ll plug the Phigolf sensor into the trainer club, swing just like you would on the real course, and the sensor and software will show the ball you hit on your device’s screen. If your smartphone or tablet’s screen is too small, you can use an Apple TV, Chromecast, or an HDMI cable (not included) to mirror your screen onto your TV for a more immersive experience.
Play on just about any golf course around the world (there are more than 38,000 options), by yourself or online against others. You could familiarize yourself with the holes at the very course you’ll play your next game at, or play on one across the world for a change of scenery.
Sharpen your golf game anytime
The Phigolf World Tour Edition simulator isn’t just a way to stay entertained on rainy or winter days—it can also help you polish your swing. The weighted swing club trainer is meant to approximate the feel of a real club in your hand. As you swing, the sensor and software collect real-time data to deliver a 3D analysis on swinging, chipping, driving, and putting so you can make corrections and impress your friends the next time you hit the green.
The Phigolf World Tour Edition golf simulator is on sale for $90 (reg. $249) through July 14 at 11:59 p.m. PT. No coupon code is required, though prices may change at any time.
