Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf simulation game environment apparatus for practicing a golf simulation game or golf shot while experiencing the same wind or rain as when playing on a golf course.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Most golf enthusiasts practice assuming playing on a golf course by actually hitting a ball through a driving range or the like, and recently equipped with computer equipment. There have been developed swing checkers capable of checking one's own shots and golf simulation game environment devices for playing simulation golf games toward golf courses displayed on a screen.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a conventional golf simulation game environment apparatus. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a golf practice bat, and a rubber mat (not shown) is provided at a position where the user of the golf practice bat 1 takes a stance. An artificial turf mat 3 or a rubber tee is provided at a position where the ball 2 is to be placed, and a screen 4 for receiving a hit ball is provided in front of the golf practice bat 1 in the shot direction. A target is printed on the screen 4,
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, one hole of the golf course is displayed.

The golf simulation game environment device is provided with various sensor devices and the like. A stance is taken on a golf practice bat 1, and a ball 2 is placed on an artificial turf mat 3 or a rubber tee to make a shot. The image of the trainer taking a stance, the image of the ball hitting form, the instantaneous image at the time of impact, and data such as head speed, direction of the hitting ball, and flight distance of the hitting ball are displayed on the screen 4.
Operation panel 5 provided above or next to golf practice bat 1
Is displayed on a monitor television or the like. Therefore, the trainee can practice while checking a defective portion or the like at the time of a shot based on the displayed contents.

That is, when a shot is made toward a course screen on the screen 4, the direction and speed of the shot are measured by various sensors. The simulation game is performed by projecting the flight distance. In this case, the wind direction and wind force according to the program are displayed on the screen of each hall, and the trainee practices a shot corresponding to the display.

The trainee sets wind conditions such as the direction and strength of the wind and can display the conditions on the monitor 4 of the screen 4 or the operation panel 5. You can also practice shots that deal with the direction and wind strength.

[0007]

However, in the above-described conventional golf simulation game environment apparatus, the direction of the wind and the strength of the wind are simply determined by the screen 4 or the operation panel 5.
Is not displayed on the monitor TV, and the trainee cannot actually practice the shot while experiencing the wind.

For this reason, even if a condition such as a head wind of 10 meters is displayed (against), it is impossible to actually sense how strong the wind is. However, there is a problem in that it is not possible to judge the current direction and strength of the wind with the body, and therefore, it is not possible to exercise in the golf simulation game environment device or exert the results of the game in actual play.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, and it is intended to practice a shot while experiencing the direction and strength of a wind which cannot be captured only by a monitor television or a display on a screen. It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf simulation game environment device that can perform the game.
