Abstract
A system for playing in a simulated indoor golf tournament comprises a web enabled physical golf simulator configured to transmit indoor golf performance data over a computer network during an indoor golf tournament. Tournaments can be conducted between players in different locations so that the participants in a given tournament need not be in the same city or country in order to compete. Players need not be available at the same time in order to compete against each other. In addition, the tournaments can be conducted live, with all participants competing at the same time, to simulate the pace of an outdoor golf tournament.
