The business is owned and operated by three brothers, Dane, Karl and Stuart Jorgensen, sons of George and Margaret Jorgensen. Sno-Golf features a computer run golf simulator machine. The computer projects a large view of a golf course hole on a large screen, and players hit to that projected hole. There are various hitting surfaces to hit from for tee shots, fairway, rough - and even sand shots.
Golfers use their full regular swing and actually hit a real golf ball.
But the computer shows the ball on the screen and where it lands. And it tells the golfer how far it went, how fast, and how far it still is to the hole. Up to four golfers can play at once, and the computer tracks each one and players take turns hitting - just like regular golf. The key is the two sensor strips. They judge the ball as it passes through and is able to judge ball speed, trajectory, even hooks and slices.
