Abstract

A simulative golf game system provides a game image having a guide image indicating a stance setting, enabling the game player to easily recognize based on which stance is used, how the game is going to play. The guide image represents a power meter whose scale increases and decreases according to a spacing between the feet. The foot spacing determines the power applied to the shot and influences the flying distance of the golfball, thereby making the game more real.
