Square Golf is an indoor golf launch monitor that allows users to play realistic 3D golf courses from the comfort of their homes. The launch monitor is designed for indoor use only and requires a Bluetooth connection to a simulation device. Proper setup of the Square Golf Launch Monitor is crucial for an optimal virtual golfing experience. This includes ensuring the device is mounted at the same height as the golf ball, avoiding direct sunlight and infrared light sources that could interfere with the sensors, and placing the device on a flat surface.

What You'll Learn
Ensure proper lighting conditions
When setting up Square Golf, it is important to ensure proper lighting conditions for the best experience and accurate measurements. Here are some detailed instructions and tips to achieve optimal lighting:
Firstly, it is crucial to avoid direct sunlight. Daylight and direct sunlight are not suitable for Square Golf due to interference from infrared lighting. If your setup location receives ample sunlight, use curtains or enclosures to block it effectively.
The lighting setup depends on the type of launch monitor you are using. Some launch monitors perform better with more light, while others require a darker environment. Calibrate your launch monitor according to the manufacturer's instructions, considering the lighting conditions you plan to use.
The key principle is to keep the playing area well-lit while ensuring that the impact screen remains dim. This can be achieved by using focused lighting on the hitting area, such as installing pin spotlights or utilising LED bulbs with adjustable lighting angles. Avoid placing lights where they will shine directly on the screen or projector, as this can create glare and wash out the projected image. Overhead lights should be positioned directly above the hitting area at a sufficient height to prevent shadows on the screen.
Additionally, consider installing floor lighting to reduce eye strain and add ambiance to your setup. LED strip lights can be used along the border of your hitting mat or to backlight your enclosure. Side lighting is also recommended to minimise shadows.
By following these instructions and strategically placing your lighting fixtures, you can create an immersive and accurately lit environment for an enjoyable Square Golf experience.

Align the device and ball
To align the device and ball, you must ensure that the Square Golf device is mounted at the same height as the golf ball. The ball should be placed in front of and a little behind the monitor. The front part of the device must be free from dust or other contaminants, and there should be no obstructions affecting the visibility of the ball between the golf ball and the camera.
To ensure accurate measurements, there should be no direct sunlight or interference from other infrared lighting. The colour of the floor mat should be distinct from the golf ball, and the golf ball must be within the ready area.
To complete target alignment, refer to the user manual and place the alignment stick in front of the Square Golf device. Ensure that the colour of the floor mat is distinct from the alignment stick and that there are no bright-coloured objects, like golf balls, around the alignment stick. It may take up to 10 seconds for the alignment stick to appear on the app screen. To complete target alignment, press the OK or CANCEL button in the alignment stick settings window on the app, then remove the stick.
For right-handed golfers, ensure your left hand is not rotated too far to the left or the right. This neutral position also allows your wrists to be set up correctly right from the start.
