You would need to have a simulator setup that is compatible with GSPro Software. An Indoor simulator is made up of the following:
Basic Net & Mat Setup -
For the most basic setup, you can hit shots into a net and watch the simulated round on a computer screen or tv. Here is what you will need for this -
1. Quality Net and Mat - You need to be able to have a way to hit balls indoors and this starts with a basic mat and net
2. Gaming Computer - To run GSPro Software you need to have a Gaming Computer
3. GSPro Software License - You will need an annual license
4. Compatible Launch Monitor - GSPro works with select launch monitors and can be found on their website
Full Simulator Experience -
1. Everything Above
2. A Projector
3. A Simulator Enclosure
You can visit the GSPro website for compatible Launch Monitors, and each have their own recommendations on getting a full simulator experience setup.

Although simulators give a really realistic experience, it is not the same as playing outdoors at a traditional green grass facility. From our experience a player will be between 1-5 strokes better indoors.
There is a new Round Type in the Op 36 Mobile App for Simulator Rounds coming soon. Each player will have a Simulator Level, and a Traditional Green-Grass Level. This allows students and coaches to log 9 Hole Rounds indoors or outdoors on a students profile to track their development overtime.
So will it count as a formal round to level up? Coaches will have the ability to Validate a Simulator round to Level up a player in the curriculum. This is player and facility dependent and is completely up to the coach.
