OK, when you're through with giggling at the name, have a look at the Tittle X Trugolf E6. It's a virtual golf simulator that connects to your PC via your phone. It relays the info via Bluetooth, and your phone then sends the swing information to your PC. It does require a little bit more than your average PC, needing 25GB of free hard drive space, 4GB+ of RAM, and a decent graphics card (PC needs an NVIDIA GTX 460 or better with 1GB of video RAM. That being said, if you have a smart TV or a Chromecast or another casting device, you can just cast straight from your phone to a TV.Once you have your system nailed down, you just attach the sensor to the provided swing stick or to your favorite club, and swing away, Merrill. You can play full rounds of golf, analyzing each swing as you go, and there's even a kid's "Safety Stick," so you can get the little ones interested early on. The Trugolf E6 comes with 12 virtual courses, a swing analyzer, and the swing stick (a 7.9-gram club).The best part is that this is only $189 on Amazon.
