Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf simulation apparatus and a method for the same, which reproduce the trajectory of a golf ball hit by a golfer to give a sense of reality to the golfer by identifying a current golf club and applying information about the identified golf club in a simulation result, the object can be accomplished by the provision of a golf simulation apparatus for simulating a golf course, including a sensing unit for sensing at least one of a golf ball hit by a golfer and a golf club used by the golfer in a simulated golf course, a club identification unit for identifying the golf club used by the golfer in the simulated golf course, and a simulation unit for simulating.
