Advanced technology now enables golf fans to play the sport in a simulated setting using an indoor golf simulator, a.k.a. virtual golf, either in the convenience of their own homes or in special indoor spaces. With accurate ball tracking, lifelike graphics, and a variety of courses and game modes, these simulators use cutting-edge technology to simulate the sensation of playing on a real golf course.

Even though using an indoor golf simulator has many advantages, things could still go wrong. As with any physical activity, accidents or mishaps can happen while playing virtual golf. That is how a recent incident became public online, and spread like wildfire among the golf community, leaving it truly baffled!

Golf aficionados frequently play indoor golf simulators as a convenient and safe alternative to playing on a real golf course. But that doesn’t guarantee that accidents can’t still happen, even in this carefully regulated setting. One potential accident is dropping a golf club while you’re swinging. One identical occurrence occurred lately and is currently the topic of conversation, after the incident shocked golf fans.

Recently, Golf Digest uploaded a video to their Instagram account from a simulated indoor facility. A man could be seen in the footage taking a shot while playing virtual golf.
