1. A golf swing analysis system, comprising:
- a pressure mat upon which a golfer stands to perform a golf swing;
at least one camera operating to image the golfer during performance of the golf swing;
at least one light source for illuminating the golfer; and
a control circuit which responds to data output from the pressure mat to selectively control actuation/deactuation of the at least one light source.

Abstract
A golf swing simulation and analysis system includes a golf simulator and club/ball monitor system which is integrated with a system that senses information concerning the golfer'"'"'s body position and movement through a high resolution pressure mat placed under the golfer'"'"'s feet. Data obtained from the pressure mat before, during and after the golf swing is analyzed and presented to the golfer in synchronization with both captured video images of the golf swing and data collected from the golf swing simulation and analysis system concerning striking of the golf ball. The system is used not only in a training mode but also in an entertainment mode.

9. A golf swing analysis system, comprising:
-
a pressure mat upon which a golfer stands to perform a golf swing;
a control circuit which responds to data output from the pressure mat to determine relative foot position of the golfer; and
a display coupled to the control circuit and on which the control circuit displays the determined relative foot position of the golfer. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

30. A golf swing analysis system, comprising:
-
a pressure mat upon which a golfer stands to perform a golf swing;
at least one camera operating to image the golfer during performance of the golf swing and generate a first video image;
a golf simulator and club/ball monitor system which senses striking of a golf ball during the golf swing and generates a second video image presenting a simulation of ball flight;
a display means;
a video switch receiving first and second video images; and
a control circuit which responds to data output from the pressure mat during the golf swing to control the video switch and cause the display means to present the first video image before ball impact and then present the second video image after impact. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
