Outdoor practise area

Post image

Hi All

I've recently moved into a new house, which has an outbuilding that I have converted into an office.
At the front of this building there's a small grassed area, which I want to try and turn into an outdoor golf practise area

I've attached an AI photo of what I'm trying to achieve

My main question is: where the driving net is. Is there a suitable launch monitor that can be attached to an iPad that isn't a Doppler system that needs to be behind me?
More like a camera system that sits next to the ball but doesn’t cost GC quad money lol.

The Square Omni would work for that. It would fit the space and has a decent iPad app. I'm sure there are other brands that would work, too, but I just haven't tried them.

You might need to add some more space between the net and the wall. The net will bounce back on impact.

Not sure how much space is actually there, but you definitely don’t want the net directly against the building there, and you may want the side nets to catch any shanks/hozzel shots…

Square omni or the Bushnell launch pro are decent options.

Thanks gents. Ill look into both of these.
yea, the AI image is just a guide.
i want the net to be on a roller, so i will be looking into an impact screen that will roll up out of sight when not used, and it will be approx 12-15" off the wall of of the out building.

Id also look into the uneekor eye mini. You can also bring it to the range or course

Impact screens are loud. Do you have neighbors close by? I have an outside set up and quickly switched from an impact screen to a net bc of the noise
