The greatest appeal of golf simulators is that they allow you to play in a realistic atmosphere that is reminiscent of an actual round of golf, without actually going to the golf course.
Of course, because it is indoors, there are certain conditions that cannot be reproduced, such as sunlight, wind, and temperature, but if you can experience the lush greenery and refreshing blue sky of a golf course, you can enjoy a golf course-like atmosphere even indoors.
BenQ's LK936ST laser projector for golf is a 4K UHD short-throw laser projector for simulated golf, featuring 5,100 ANSI lumens and a wide color gamut with Rec. 709 92% coverage.
BenQ's unique Golf Mode reproduces the vivid green of the grass and the clear blue of the sky on a golf course in vivid 4K image quality.
Furthermore, the short-throw design with a projection ratio of 0.8, 1.1x zoom function, and various adjustment functions provide ideal large-screen projection in a variety of spaces.
The lens shift function enables flexible construction of a simulation golf environment even in environments where installation positions are restricted by ceiling beams, lighting, etc.

"LK936ST" introduced at "Minna de Golf" Marugame store
Available only to members in a completely private room, "Minna-no Golf" Marugame, designed based on the concept of "everyone having fun" together, has adopted the LK936ST in combination with the high-performance GC3 golf simulator by Foresight Sports, Inc.
The "Minna de Golf" Marugame branch insisted on installing the GC3 because the accuracy of the GC series used by PGA pros was appealing.
Foresight Sports' products are recognized worldwide as high-performance ballistics measuring machines, and have been introduced to many indoor golf courses in Japan.
In conjunction with the introduction of GC3, the "Minna de Golf" Marugame branch focused on a large impact screen.
The reason why a fairly large screen, measuring approximately 5,500 mm (W) x 3,100 mm (H), is used is because of the desire to make the screen as large as possible even in a small room, and the short-throw design and 4K "LK936ST" was the best match for this commitment.
Large screen in limited private room space
Seeking a projector that could clear the high hurdle of a large screen in a limited space with a projection distance of 5.5 m, we considered a variety of products and arrived at the LK936ST.
BenQ's "free loaner service" was a major factor in helping us to introduce the system, he continued, "It was very important for us to be able to check whether the system could project properly in a real environment before actually installing the system."
"We were very satisfied with BenQ's service as well," said Mr. Kurokawa. "We had some concerns based on catalog specifications alone, but thanks to BenQ's willingness to lend us the actual equipment free of charge and quickly, we were able to install the system with peace of mind."
And for those who are considering installing a projector in the future, "I recommend the LK936ST because it is a short-throw projector and very easy to use, but if you are considering installing one, it is important to first take advantage of the service and rent the product to test it in an on-site environment," he said. "It's important to take advantage of the service, rent the product, and test it out in a field environment." He sent us this advice.
