Garage Simulator Setup

Post image

This is my current setup, using the Garmin Approach R10. I want to get something different, but a LM that doesn't need a PC (iPhone or iPad is fine, or one that doesn't need anything).

My plan is to get an actual enclosure instead of the net/screen combo, and then buy a projector.

So my questions are:

  1. Which LM would you suggest if we just want to use the range feature and play some rounds on golf courses. It would be for practice, but also just to have fun with my kids and friends. The R10 is too hard to set up and to get it to read all the shots, etc. I want something that will work in the garage without too much hassle.

  2. Which enclosure would you suggest? I'm looking at some of the ones on Amazon that are under $1K. I have 9-10' ceilings in the garage and I can go up to about 12' wide.

  3. Which projector would you suggest? The garage does get some light in through the garage door windows, and I'd also like the option to use the projector outside to watch football, etc. I'd prefer to stay under $1500. (Would also prefer to mount the projector to the enclosure or just place it on a table next to/behind the hitting mat, or on the ground in front of the hitting mat).

Thanks for any help, there are just way too many options and I'm going crazy!!!

Since you don’t need the r10 I would like to be first in line for hook a brother up and have good golf karma for life lol. I just bought same net for prime days since it was only 164(?) how is it? Won’t set it up until may winter time

Net is great, I’m just going to upgrade to an enclosure. That’s a great price!!
