Abstract: A golf simulator includes a screen for displaying a simulated golf hole. Sensors measure one or more parameters of a hit golf ball hit with a golf club by a player. These parameters may include the velocity, trajectory, and spin of a golf ball. A computer determines the distance and location of the hit golf ball from the simulated hole as a function of the measured parameters. The computer enhances a player's shot by a predetermined enhancement factor. In a preferred embodiment the calculated forward velocity of a hit ball is increased with the enhancement factor to obtain an enhanced forward velocity. The enhancement factor can be a predetermined percentage ranging between 0 and 200 percent. The enhancement factor can be automatically phased out, attenuated, or cancelled as the player approaches the simulated hole. The display screen displays the enhancement factor of a player.
