Lame thread - I know.

I did it on a hi-tech simulator (only two of them in Michigan of this particular brand). The thing has the ability to track your shot and play it back to you from the reverse side.

Driver - 293 yards over the hotel - got a heck of bounce and roll at the end.

PW to 12 feet

Had a 12 foot putt, slightly uphill breaking to the right.

While it is an exact replica of the course, I'm guessing if I had the opportunity to be there for real, I would find it more unnerving.

Anyone enjoying these simulators?

I just played a round on a simulator a few days ago.  I started the first 3 holes -2, which is absurd for me.  Because of the perfect lies (rough and slope don't really affect your shot) and perfect green reading ability (just look at the moving lines), it's not fair to equate it to a real score.  However, it's a lot of fun and definitely a step up from a driving range in terms of practice.

Did the simulator you used analyze your swing path, club face position, carry, ball spin etc...?

I'm just curious.

What a great memory and a great 3 wood!
