ABSTRACT Apparatus for simulating the playing of golf includes a tee area from which a player may drive a golf ball toward a curved target screen in front of the tee area. Optical sensing devices are positioned to gather data as to the time and horizontal location at which a driven ball passes through each of three planes spaced apart between the tee area and the screen, and the horizontal location at which the ball rebounds from the screen through the plane closest to the screen. With the data from the sensing devices, computer apparatus produces an estimate for display of the distance of travel and ultimate testing position the driven ball would have if allowed free flight. Use of sensing devices for detecting passage of a driven ball through three different planes and for detecting the rebound angle of the ball from the screen enables determination of the amount of hook or slice a driven ball would have. A television camera 18 positioned on one side of the tee area, and a grid pattern is positioned on the other side to provide a background and gauge against which movement of a player photographed for instant replay may be measured. -1-
