Open Shot Golf Simulator

Introduction

Welcome to Open Shot Golf (formerly JaySimG)!

Open Shot Golf is an open source golf simulator built using the Godot Engine. This golf sim was built to interface with the PiTrac Launch Monitor

Current State

Launch Monitor Support:

• At this point, the golf sim only supports connections to a PiTrac launch monitor.

Sim Features:

Future State

Launch Monitor Support:

• There is no current plan to support any commercial launch monitors but we welcome any ideas or contributions in this area.

Sim Features:

• As for full golf course play, this is the next major milestone in this project's development. Details on implementation are sparse if not non-existent. Initial planning and architecting of this feature will be starting soon. Stay tuned!
