The off-season doesn’t have to bring your game to a screeching halt, though. With the Indiegogo-funded , you can play golf year-round from the comfort of your home, or just about anywhere else.
Part video game and part swing practice, the PhiGolf uses a swing stick trainer as the controller and a built-in sensor to recreate your real-world performance on the screen. By simply swinging the imitation club as you normally would on the course, you can get a read on your accuracy and strength. No net or balls necessary.
With the WGT app, you can mirror your smartphone or tablet screen onto your TV or projector and truly immerse yourself in the playing experience. Beyond simply practicing your swing, you can select from photorealistic simulations of world-famous golf courses and even duke it out on a virtual course with your friends in multiplayer mode or even strangers across the globe. It’s almost like the real thing. You just need someone — or a — to keep you hydrated.
