VR Golf anyone?

It's very cool. It was raining yesterday. I played 72 holes on three different courses.

I purchased a golf grip handle for the Oculus Rift Plus controller. It works very well. Makes it feel like you are holding an actual club in your hands.

You can play with friends online.

I've done VR rock-climbing, but not golf. It was fun...

That is awesome, I'd enjoy that.

I played VR miniature golf, which was surprisingly fun.

I spanked Aqua’s sister over VR once. She begged for the repeat IRL.

Now we know what "Aqua's sister" is code for...

@Doctor-Phibes I ordered a Quest2 256GB. It will be here Monday. My brother also ordered one and I am trying to get my buddy to buy one. We will be playing Golf+ and I am also going to get the "Golf 5 eClub" app and compare them side by side. Walkabout Mini Golf looks like fun too. You are welcome to join us on the links.

@Ivorythumper Do you have a Quest headset?

Hey, thanks Mark - I'll need to take a look at this

Would it be wrong for me to insert the Mark Twain comment about golf here?

Yeah, it probably would because his quotation says something about "walking."

Dumb question.

The above kind of sounds like fun. Does it attach to a video game like Playstation or is it by itself?

I think this game works on the Oculus Quest by itself. There are other games that also work with a gaming PC, but there are plenty that work by themselves too.

I may get this version of Oculus headset. Seems like it will make the games more exciting and nervous!!!
