Q Motion Golf Simulator

I’ve always kind of enjoyed computer golf. I played my first game on an Apple II, with a green and black screen back in the 1980s. And even though the graphics have improved, the technique has always been the same: line up your little guy on the screen; tap the keyboard or mouse to start the swing, tap it again at the top of the swing and then tap it at the bottom. Tap too soon or too late at either the top or the bottom and you get a bad shot.

The Q Motions Indoor Golf Simulator  takes you out of that paradigm. You just hook this thing up to your computer and use it, instead of the keyboard to control your swing. You can use actual clubs, and—according to the manufacturer—the game will react to your actual swing.

Here’s what they say:

QMotions-Golf™ Active Game Controller replaces the game-pad controller with a swing-arm assembly and electronics that translates your golf swing and ball impact into the ball’s flight, speed, and direction - directly into the golf game on screen so you see how you hit the ball - giving you the feeling of actual play.

I’m putting this on my father’s day list.
