Sky Trak Golf Simulator

Posted on 01/02/2019 by Caroline Barry

Stay with us at Mews Hill in Fordingbridge and we can set up the Sky Trak Golf Simulator in the games room for you to use during your stay.

SkyTrak is a camera-based launch monitor that captures high-speed images of the ball immediately after impact. The images captured are used to measure parameters necessary to render shot shape and carry distance.

It goes where you go. Practice and play rain or shine, 365 days a year, in the comfort of your home — even in limited space. Place a ball on a hitting mat or level ground and swing away.

Sky Trak enables you to input a series of desired variables and environmental factors such as weather and course conditions. This helps simulate real world golf and provides more accurate shot analysis.

It accurately captures, displays and contrasts your ball flight data. Key measurement parameters include: ball speed, launch angle, side spin, back spin, side angle and more.

We can have this set up ready for when you arrive at Mews Hill. The cost would be £100 for a week-end or mid week break and £150 for a 7 night break. (£250 deposit is required)

ENTERTAINING

Take on your friends or beat your personal best with fun, skill-building games and challenges.

PORTABLE

With embedded Wi-Fi, use Sky Trak from anywhere. Connect to a mobile device and let it fly.

INNOVATIVE

Sky Trak uses high-speed cameras and sophisticated algorithms to calculate the ball’s flight path and distance.

Wildlife in the Woodland Copse.

Posted on 08/11/2018 by Debra Sweeney

To encourage wildlife in the Mews Hill woodland copse, we have installed some bird boxes, a ladybird hibernation house, a bee nesting box (which is also good for insects) and some winter roosting nests in the trees for birds. We hope this will be of benefit to not only the wildlife but for the guests that use the copse.
