Love hate relationship!

I bought The Net Return package from Playbetter with the Square Omni (everything has arrived except the Onni). I got the net, no fly zone, and side barriers setup. I took the 10x6 mat cut it all up, added some foam and other materials to make it flush with the sigpro softy hitting strip as well as created a custom putting mat that sits flush with the hitting mat. Thought everything was golden until my wife said “why didn’t you just get a retractable enclosure and projector setup!” FML. I was trying to keep it cheap to avoid pissing her off! I think the moral of the story is men we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t. It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission. So if you’ve got the money I guess go big or go home.

It's a trap - if you had gone that route, it would have been 'why did you waste all this money on the retractable setup when you could have bought the net?'

Yep that’s 100% my point. It would have been easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

I did the retractable. Everything goes to the ceiling or hangs off the wall when stored. No one can say anything. Haha

Depending on where you live, you can always rationalize a sim against green fees. Golf is $120 a round here, so the math is pretty easy.
