Submission declined on 22 December 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

GSPro - Golf Simulator Software

Introduction:

GSPro is a golf simulation software game developed by the community behind the Simulator Golf Tour, aimed at providing an ultra-realistic golfing experience with high-quality graphics and accurate ball physics. It supports various gameplay modes and is tailored for golf enthusiasts looking for a true-to-life simulation.

History and Development:

Origin: GSPro was developed by simulator golfers for simulator golfers, with its initial beta version released in August 2020. The software has since been under continuous development, driven by community feedback and updates. On November 4th, 2024 GSPro V3 was released. The current version as of 12/22/2024 is V3.0.3.3^[1]
Community Involvement: The software benefits from a strong community on platforms like Discord and the Simulator Golf Tour, where courses are user-created and shared freely among players.

Features:

Graphics and Physics: GSPro is known for its stunning 4K graphics built on the Unity engine and its unrivaled game physics, setting it apart from other golf simulation software.
Gameplay Modes: Offers multiple player modes including stroke, scramble, stableford, match play, best ball, and alternate shot. Can support up to 8 players locally or online.
Course Library: Over 1200 high-quality, LiDAR-based courses, all created with community tools like OPCD, are available and included for licensed GSPro users.^[2]
Compatibility: GSPro is Windows PC exclusive, with no support currently for other operating systems.^[1]
Integration with Hardware: Works with various launch monitors including those from Uneekor, Foresight Sports, and Bushnell, Garmin Golf, to name a few but each has specific prerequisites for access.^[1]

Pricing:

GSPro's pricing involves an annual subscription model. The cost for a one-year subscription is $250 USD^[3]. Previously, there was an option for a lifetime add-on, but this is no longer available. All users now subscribe annually to receive updates, new features, and access to the community-created courses. Existing lifetime users are not affected by this change and can continue using their licenses.

System Requirements:

For an optimal experience, GSPro requires:

Operating System: Windows 10 or later.
Graphics: A dedicated GPU capable of running games at 4K resolution (specific models not detailed).
CPU: Multi-core processor (specific models not detailed).
Memory: At least 8GB of RAM, with more recommended for larger course libraries.
Storage: The software and course libraries take significant space; a folder with all courses can reach 67.5GB.

Community and Support:

Support Channels: GSPro offers help through a dedicated support section on their website, a user's group on Facebook, and SGT Server on Discord.
Updates: The software is frequently updated with new features and improvements based on user feedback. On November 4, 2024 Version 3 was released.
Change Log: GSPro software updates are documented on their website GSPro Change Log

Reception and Criticism:

Positive Reception: Users praise GSPro for its realism, particularly in ball physics, and the community-driven course creation.
Criticisms: Some users have reported bugs, especially in early versions, and a clunky interface or gameplay experience. There's also mention of initial setup complexity during its beta phase.
Support: For personalized support, emailing support is recommended^[3], with the team striving to respond quickly. Additionally, there's an active community on the GSPro Users group on Facebook, which is a great place to engage with other simulator golf enthusiasts and help expand the community.
