Description

A golf training swing plate and a golf practice system having the same for golf practice

The present invention relates to a swing plate for golf practice and a golf practice system having the same, and more particularly, to a swing plate for golf practice having a customized hitting space forming function, and a golf practice system having the same.

As the popularization of golf is accelerated, the golf population is increasing. Accordingly, indoor and outdoor golf driving ranges have been developed and widely used to learn and master the basics and skills of golf outside the field.

In particular, the indoor golf driving range lacks a sense of realism compared to practicing at the outdoor driving range, but it does not require a large facility area like the outdoor driving range. Because of its advantages, it is widely used.

This indoor golf driving range has been developed in a variety of forms, and as a representative indoor golf driving range facility, it goes beyond simply hitting a golf ball with a club, and simulates playing golf on the field, which is the limit of indoor golf practice. There is a screen golf system as a golf simulator that compensates for the lack of realism, and such a screen golf system has been widely activated and popularized mainly in Korea, which lacks a field and has active visitors.

On the other hand, the screen golf system is a sensor that reads and converts the trajectory, direction, distance, speed, rotation, etc. of a golf ball hit by a golfer, a projector that projects a virtual golf image in the field on the screen, and a golf ball hitting target. A screen made of cloth that simultaneously displays the projector's image, a swing plate that implements a fairway or rough lie, a tee-up device that supplies the ball, an imaging device that records and displays the golfer's swing form, and general golf simulator of screen golf It has a configuration including various electrical, electronic, and mechanical devices such as a computer that executes a program.

Then, when the golfer positioned at the bat places the golf ball in the corresponding striking space formed on the swing plate and then strikes the golf ball through the club, the processor unit measures the trajectory, direction, distance, speed, and rotation of the golf ball through the sensor. It reads the back and turns it into data to implement golf in the form of a simulation.

However, the space at bat formed in the conventional swing plate has a limitation in that the sense of realism decreases due to the artificial turf or bunker produced through the cilia. is becoming

An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a swing plate for golf practice having a customized hitting space forming function, and a golf practice system having the same.
