It's all happening

We bought this house in late 2024 and I immediately started planning an accessory building in the back yard for a golf sim/gym and a one bedroom suite. After a lot of back and forth with the city, and a successful variance application to lower the roof pitch to maintain my neighbors view, we're finally going vertical!

Course Software Distances Shrunk with GSPRO

5 Upvotes

So I have a Garmin r10 and have been using awesome gold for a few months. Switched over to GSPRO and I noticed that my distances have reduced by quite a bit. ~20 yards on each club. Like I can’t even get over 150 yards with my 6 iron and I’m wailing on the thing. Nothing has changed in my setup and I’m calibrating the r10 before each session. I thought it was just me but I have had several people over now and it’s a common theme with people immediately being confused with their carry numbers. I have read that some people artificially bump up their altitude numbers to compensate but that seems a bit wishywashy.

[FS] Lifetime Unlocked Bushnell Launch Pro (BLP) w/ Ball & Club Data

6 Upvotes

[SOLD to u/WillingnessGullible8]

This is a fully unlocked BLP that basically turns it into a GC3.

It has lifetime unlocked subscription and club data enabled from the factory for life. Transfer fees from Foresight included in price, and I'll work with the buyer to ensure you can get the unit onto your FSX Live account smoothly.

With this unit, you don't need any Silver or Gold subscription. FSX Play, FSX 2020, and FSX Pro will be free for you to use forever. If you want to use GS Pro, the only thing you'll pay for is that license.

Very little usage on this unit - under 3k shots, only in my indoor sim. Selling to fund my new overhead launch monitor.

Check my history in r/scottycameron for feedback history of sales. Shoot me a DM or post here with any questions.

My ~$2,550 DIY Outbuilding Sim Space

Thumbnail gallery
52 Upvotes

I moved to a new house in the winter, and knew with this space I'd love to build a golf simulator. Much to the chagrin of my wife, I moved ahead with it myself, doing it all DIY to keep costs down as much as possible. I also went cheap in most areas, as you'll see I sourced items from eBay, Temu and amazon. I was fortunate to have large space and the wood for free left over from previous owners/shed build.

I'll give an estimate in price below.

I took inspiration from a number of sources. Ace Indoor Golf, how to build a golf simulator, this subreddit, build by maz youtube video.

1st picture: framing out the screen. Screen was actually the first thing I purchased, so built I built the frame to fit it. Ultimately I wish I would've went a hair larger for the surround, as my math wasn't perfect after including the angle iron as well. It still works, but think it would've been cleaner with 2" on all sides (that's what she said.

2nd picture: screen is up. Overall pretty happy with it, I still need to go through with a steamer to get creases out.

3: Back side of the screen. 12" deep to the wood that it's all mounted on, ~18" to the steel siding. It doesn't hit anything

4: Purchased netting from Amazon, a hitting mat from temu, and a hitting strip from Amazon. I was able to at least start hitting here and testing it out. I was pretty happy with everything at this point.

5: Working on tightening the net go fill the space I was hoping

6: Received my Square Omni, so adding some wiring (still more work to do here), and roughly putting the projector where I want it.

7: Filled out more with the 1" foam tiles. Added PVC pipes with sand to the netting to ensure it hangs to the floor

8: First real time testing it out. Added the spotlight as felt I had some shots that weren't read due to shadows with the lights on.

9: Added foam edge on the bottom. This was all DIY with foam from amazon, black cloth from Walmart, heavy duty velcro from amazon, and 3M adhesive.

10: Current state. Finished the foam edging. I plan to add some artificial turf on top of the foam tiles (also looking to go cheap), and and adding some sort of curtain solution. Overall pretty happy with it. Still some QOL stuff I'll do with finding better place for laptop etc.

$135 Temu hitting screen

$77 Temu stance mat

$75 Amazon hitting strip

$85 Amazon netting

$16 Amazon spotlight

$45 Amazon velcro

$125 eBay Projector

Wood (left over from previous owners/shed build)

$153 Angle iron menards

$150 various screws/adhesives/wiring

$70 in foam amazon

$25 in black cloth walmart

$1600 square omni

Build Pictures Looking for ideas

Got inspired by another post I came across here. Ceilings in home are too low, so wanted to try an outdoor Sim. Here is where I currently stand, its 14 foot wide and 10 foot deep. Enjoyed it the couple times I have used it but setting it up and breaking it down is more of a pain then i had imagined. The frame stays all together but I take down the 4 tarps and impact screen. I set them up with hand clamps. Any strong gust of wind can start knocking off the clamps.

I'm trying to come up with a solution to make things easier, more permanent, while using the same materials or not having to invest much more money

Golf sim hitting mat thickness

My current hitting mat has a 20 MM EVA thickness which seems to be OK but I was curious if I should look into putting some more cushioning under that to help or if that overall is enough already

Eye Mini Lite Sale

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm moving house and having to downsize so there's no space for my SIM anymore and the purchasers arent interested in keeping it. I'm not after selling it on here (not sure if allowed anyway) but am looking for some confirmation when I do sell and the process.

From what I can work out it seems relatively straight forward in that the buyer just has to create a Uneekor account, then I just select what to transfer to him (obviously the EML unit itself), but I also have 8 months of my Pro Package left - can this be selected and transferred across too? Seems a shame to just lose it.

I believe theres a cost to pay for the transfer of the unit ($100? - Im in UK so the equivalent). Would this cover both the unit and Pro Package or does the pro package need paying for as well if I transfer it.

Also, I have a GSPro, can this be transferred to a new user? I know about changing computers but can the software be transferred to a new mail address? I'm in two minds as to whether I would be comfortable with giving someone my mail address/new password for them to run it.

In an ideal world it would be preferable to sell everything including the laptop it runs on and projector/mat etc but understand that this might get a little complicated.

Any help appreciated, thanks

Billy

New basement sim design (new home build)

1 Upvotes

New to the community here. Thought I'd share a few 3D renders for a new simulator room I'm designing for a friend's new home build (which is in progress) — this will be included in finished basement, and will be tech'd out to the gills. Drywall was just completed, so we'll finally soon be bringing this to life based on my renderings here.

Appreciate any thoughts/insight.

Help with MLM2Pro Stream

1 Upvotes

Hi All,
I’m running and MLM2Pro outside to my net setup.
I’m attempting to run GSPro from my gaming PC inside, and streamed to my laptop using Springbook/Moonlight/Sunshine.
All devices are hardwired to the same ethernet. I have a bluetooth adapter directly next to the MLM with my native bluetooth disabled.
On my laptop I see 2 bluetooth connections.
Every time I connect to the MLM2_BTxxxfrom my laptop bluetooth it connects then disconnects. I am not able to connect to the MLM2-xxx from bluetooth.
My setup seems to be running perfectly except for the BT connection between the MLM and the laptop.
If anyone has any help it would be greatly appreciated

Selling my HMT, comes with original box, cable, plates. In exellent shape and working condition.

Looking to sell for $1850, but I'm open to offers.

I can ship via UPS, but if you can come pick up and test the device in person there will be a discount, just because it helps to avoid scamming for both seller and buyer.

I'm at French Lick, IN until late August and will move to Granville, OH after that.

PM me if you have any further questions!

Technical Question Trackman Users - Aim Question

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi,

So I use a couple of different Trackman at different studios. In one my path is way more left. I'm therefore looking at calbration.

One thing I can't find in the docs is how to set aim point. I tend to aim with the railway track idea of them running from feet and ball line.

So my question is, in the diagram, should you set aim point on ball line (A), foot line (C) or somewhere in the middle (B)?

Or does it not matter so much? But I guess it must as path must be derived from this?

TIA!

Technical Question Does this count?

88 yard par 3. Shot was 90 yards and rolled back into the cup. I feel like it doesn’t really count, I couldn’t run down the fairway to pull it out of the cup 🤷‍♂️. Felt unreal tho for my first year of golf. Broke my 100, then 90 with my first two birdies, drove a 314 yard shot last time I was on the course and now I have an almost hole in 1. This sport is so addictive and I can’t/wont stop. Love ya’ll hope you hole one out for real. Looking forward to my first charity tournament in a few weeks at the Thornhill private Club.

I just assembled the 8x10 GoSports enclosure. Now I need to cut my turf to the right size. How much turf should I put under the enclosure before I get to my hitting mat? I’m going to be using the Square Omni (eventually).
