OTTAWA AREA GOLFERS BRING GAME INDOORS

by | Nov 23, 2015 | News

Pine View Golf Course, which features 36 holes of golf in the heart of the city of Ottawa, recently installed three state-of-the-art High Definition Golf™ simulators to help golfers play and train year round.

Pine View Golf Course, formerly a municipal course, is expanding its business profile under new management as it looks towards the future.

“With ongoing renovations and upgrades, we’re committed to solidifying Pine View’s position as one of Ottawa’s most popular golfing attractions,” says Mike Copeland, new co-owner at Pine View Golf Course. “By adding HD Golf indoor simulators to our facility, we’ve been generating excitement amongst golfers in the area and giving them a place to enjoy the sport no matter the weather.”

The HD Golf™ simulators are equipped with integrated training aids including diagnostic tools for shot analysis, video swing analysis and motion analysis, as well as feature-rich tools for precision club fitting and equipment comparison to help golfers take their game to the next level. In addition, PGA of Canada professionals are on staff at Pine View to help golfers improve every aspect of their game.

“PGA Tour pros and top ranked golf instructors have been using our simulators for a number of years, which is a testament to their high level of accuracy and realism,” says Todd Richardson, President of Interactive Sports Technologies, the makers of HD Golf™ simulators.

Other new features and programs offered at Pine View Golf Course include private, semi-private and group lessons for both beginners and advanced golfers, junior summer camps, warm up cages, and weekly men’s, ladies’ and seniors’ leagues.

“With the new additions, our club has been busier than ever,” continues Copeland. “Our facility is continuously packed and customers are raving about the simulators. It’s great to see the club re-energized, especially over the winter months, and we’re excited about what’s to come at Pine View.”

Comprehensive and Accurate Measurement

HD measures ALL critical object & club parameters to analyze every shot. At minimum 4 cameras work together during the player action sequence. They analyze club head speed, launch angle, swing path, object contact (heel/toe), club face (open/closed) and smash factor.

These comprehensive measurements are critical, but the accuracy of these measurements is equally important. HD Simulators measure with supreme accuracy. For example, we measure club face angle contact to within 1/10th of 1 degree and ball spin to +/- 100 RPM.

Simulator Quality

HD Golf Simulators™ redefined the Gold Standard in build-quality and integrated technology. Quality in a refined packaged is immediately obvious from first swing and makes your ownership experience a true pleasure. Our steadfast commitment to the ‘exceptional’ combined with minimal operating and maintenance costs ensures unparalleled reliability for years.

HD Golf™ has extensive engineering capabilities extending through our hardware, software and mechanical design. We design & build all critical system components in-house and ensure seamless system integration. Most competitors cobble together third party hardware and software to make their simulators – resulting in compromised reliability & system incompatibilities.

We are committed to ‘only using’ top quality professional-grade components such as: High Performance, ‘Intelligent’ Cameras, Professional Engineering Workstations, Linux Operating Systems, Multi-Element Screens and Spring-Set Nylon Turf. Collectively, our systems deliver unrivalled quality, superior performance and exceptional reliability.

Competitors typically use lower cost, inferior components, such as: Home PC’s to run their simulators, which tend to suffer from instability and frequent required updates. They also use polypropylene turf, single element-screens with high elasticity-rebound and reduced longevity. Both screens & turf last a half-life when compared to our in-house designed screens & turf. Other areas of compromise extend to their third party cameras which capture your swing, but don’t form a complete alliance with the rest of the system.

Player Improvement

HD Golf™ was the first to develop a completely integrated Professional Golf Studio, ensuring Teaching Professionals, Clubfitters and Individuals have the best tools available for game-improvement.

Video Swing Analysis, 3D Motion Analysis, and Weight Transfer / Balance Analysis are all designed with one purpose: make you a better golfer.

In reality, a golf swing happens very quickly, and can be difficult to improve, especially when you don’t have analytics and recording technology to visualize the swing. Subtle adjustments can result in dramatic improvements – it’s critical you understand your individual swing dynamics. You don’t need to be computer savvy to use the Golf Studio. The integrated Golf Studio operates from a single touch screen, and is simple to use.

Jim McLean’s 8 Step Swing, which incorporates the swings of Ernie Els, Ben Hogan and Tiger Woods, is an additional feature many HD Golfers decide to add to their simulators. Step by step, a golfer is able to perfect every element of their swing. The simulator records and analyzes a golfer’s swing in real time. When the system detects that the golfer’s position and swing are out of the “corridor of success” or have committed a “death move”, the simulator will automatically alert the golfer and present virtual coaching from Jim McLean.
