Publication number: 20240033597Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a hybrid golf system and control method for the same that can further improve the realism of golf play by naturally connecting a virtual golf course on an image projected on a screen and an actual field to naturally convert from a virtual golf play through the virtual golf course image to a field play on the actual field. The above object can be accomplished by the provision of a hybrid golf system comprising a screen golf module in which a virtual golf play can be performed, an actual field on which an actual golf play can be performed, and a screen shutter provided on a wall of the screen golf module facing the actual field.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: GOLFZON CO., LTD.Inventors: Young Chan KIM, Jae Yoon OK, Gwang Seok JEON
