Abstract: Systems and methods for improving golf skills and related features are provided. A user may be identified and may hit a golf ball at the kiosk. The distance the golf ball travels may be determined at the kiosk. The kiosk may be a standalone kiosk, or a network-enabled kiosk that may communicate with one or more other kiosks at the same location and/or other locations, one or more local servers (e.g., an administrative server) and/or one or more remote servers (e.g., a web server). The determined distance may be used to simulate various games such as darts, poker, or other games. The determined distance may be also used to assess a skill rating of the user. The assessed skill rating may be stored. The stored skill rating may be retrieved via a website, at the standalone kiosk, or at the one or more other kiosks.
