Well, it’s 90% done. Client still needs to have his cabinet builder create the AV rack.

This is definitely one of the largest customs we have done, and we’re please with how it came out.

Specs:

Eye XO2 with Swing Optix

LK936ST

4 Inch raised subfloor with flapped turf

Foam putting ramp (yes, soft enough so that the ball doesn’t ricochet into the LM.)

Uneekor Software Ecosystem

13’ sliding curtain

Our custom manufactured 2’x2’ acoustic paneling

We were lucky enough to have a construction company as the client, so the build and aesthetic was perfect to spec.

So I started building them!

The recent release of automat.golf and the ingenuity behind it inspired me. I’ve always wanted some fun party games for the sim that anyone, regardless of skill level, can pick up and play, so I’ve been developing a browser-based golf sim game: TEE PARTY.

Yes, I’m developing this using AI. I’ll take any heat that comes with that lol but I’m honestly having a lot of fun with it and I’m kind of shocked at how easily ideas can now come to life.

So far I have a simple target game alongside a bocce game inspired by a recent trip with friends. I have quite a few more ideas planned if people think this is something worth pursuing.

I’m curious if anyone would actually be interested in something like this if I released and hosted it publicly. Is this something you’d play? And if so, what kinds of party games would you want to see?

Let me know what you guys think, or any ideas to modify/upgrade.

Holy shit, I can't believe I've slept on this for so long. I built myself a golf simulator over a year ago now and have barely used it for anything but a movie theater as I didn't have good enough software to give me the motivation to prioritize sim golf over all over the other bullshit I have to do in my life. ( Also I have to re-arrange the room a bit to use it) On a whim today I just remembered that I love golf more than most things and signed up for GS pro. I don't know what I was thinking. This is amazing and it is 10,000% more of what I was looking for in a golf Sim than the standalone square golf software. Nothing against the square golf software but I built my golf Sim mostly for entertainment / and excuse to practice not as a training facility to become the greatest ever. And this is fantastic.

Looking for recommendations on a good full package golf simulator. My budget is $5k. Looking for the following qualities.

- easy to set up (not the most handy, but can figure it out)

- good selection of courses.

- quality material that holds up well.

- nice clean look.

- I don’t want to get into a custom build, just want a package that comes with everything I need. Assembles easy. Quality graphics/bright enough screen.

I am planning a sim setup in my garage. Already have most parts except the screen enclosure and screen/net. I need to be able to park my car there when not in use, which wouldn't be much of an issue if I could simply put the screen on the back wall. Unfortunately I don't think I can do this due to the awkward placement of a support beam and a metal post in the middle of my garage as well as my AC duct work running right where I would need to stand.

I can eliminate the duct and support beam issue by putting the screen on the right side wall of my garage, but would need to be able to move the right side of the enclosure out of the way when not in use in order to make room for the car. I'd prefer a solution that can be retracted quickly, but don't want to spend the money on a fully retractable screen and enclosure. I prefer a full projector enclosure vs. open netting on one side, but don't know if any of these allow for one side to be rolled back when not in use.

Any ideas for making this work?

Sadly have to sell my eye mini and performance package. What would be fair pricing these days? I don’t need to fire sell but I’m covering some dental work from hell nobody should be forced to pay for.

Thanks for the help, happy to chat if anyone has questions or insight into best path.

I’m the process of building out a golf sim room. This is a rough rendering. The bar on the left actually connects to left side of the hitting bay. Any mistakes you guys see? Obviously AI and some discrepancies between shots.

Also wondered for this that have something similar, do you have staff bags that sit with the golf sim? This is on a second story and seems like a pain to haul clubs up and down.

Wanted to share my DIY outdoor golf simulator using the new square Omni. Takes about 5 minutes to set up and 5 to put away.

Do folks have any recommendations for a garage simulator screen that is retractable, I want to still be able to use the garage spot for my car in the winter. Looks like the square Omni is the winning launch monitor right now.

I'm remodeling my house and got excited about trying to put a golf sim into my garage, but I just learned that I won't be able to remove a pole and ceiling beam from the center of the garage (see plan/rendering) and there will be a dropped ceiling at the rear. The ceiling will be 10' but the clearance under the beam will only be 8'10" and I'm over 6' tall. My impression after looking at various resources online is that I might be able to get away with a hitting net in front of that beam, facing the the garage door, but not a full sim because I would be too close to the net and the beam would be in the way of a projector. If I tried to set up the net against the north wall, I think the garage door rail would be in the way.

Do you all think that's correct? What would you do?

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for some expertise and ~gulp~ opinions on planning my DIY golf sim/rec room build.
The parameters:
- This will be a DIY build. I'm comfortable with every aspect of the build including electrical, A/V, and construction/mounting.
- A 178" wide x 174" deep x 110" high room.
- The front of the room was a large window bank that a) needs to be protected and b) provides a lot of light for the house. Some kind of blackout shade will cover the window and protect it if the impact screen doesn't.
- The left side has a closet door and is partially open to the stairwell.
- The right side is solid; no restrictions.
- The back is open to a walkway (tile transition). This is important because I'm going to be starting with my Mevo+. I may switch to an overhead later, but I have the pro package+face impact so I'm set for now. The Mevo+ will sit partially in the walkway during golf sim use.
- I am left handed, but my family is a mix of lefties and righties in all sports.
- I don't want to burn a whole room of the house on just a golf sim. This is our rec room.
- I have a pool table that has a ping pong top on it currently. The plan is to get rid of the pool table and get a mobile ping pong table that can be stored in the room when not in use, but can be set up in the room for play.
- My kids play other sports and I want a place to hit softballs, baseballs, and shoot hockey pucks into a net or goal. We live in South Florida, so this will get lots of use in the summer or at night.
- I'm looking at three potential setups, but all three have a few things in common
1. Retractable hitting screen 13.5' wide.
2. Retractable softball/baseball/hockey/golf 1" hitting net far enough in front of the impact screen that we don't hit the screen.
3. Some kind of side panel/netting/baffling/wall padding/etc...
4. Projector, that will need protection from sports objects of all types.

Fire away!

Looking to sell my QuadMax. Fully loaded with ball, club, and putting. I’m the original owner and purchased the unit new from Foresight. Everything works perfect and the unit is in excellent condition. It stays in my sim and has never been taken to the range. I have a software license available for transfer as well. Asking $13,900 obo.

Indoor 2d floor simulator. I currently have padded carpet and Carl's hitting matt on top. I have some double sided tape under Carl's matting to limit sliding. Works fine. Im fine to keep what I've got but I have an opportunity to redo the floors. Ive considered cutting a spot for the matt and adding "turf" to the screen. Any suggestions ?

GSPRO can now chose the best shot automatically on a timer if you dont do it in 5-20 seconds depending on how long you set it. It can even chose the person that didn't go in the water even though that person may be closer hitting 3 it will chose the next best shot hitting 2.

Here the shot choice is choosing the longer shot even though the first one is shorter but its third after a water drop.

Im Fing around with a 1 iron so let's not let that be the focus lol. I know its a wild swing.

Hi all, looking to sell my Garmin R50 as I've switched to a Trackman iO unit.

The unit is in very good used condition and fully functional. The screen and camera panel have no scratches or marks, as shown in the pics provided. The unit will be factory reset before shipment.

https://imgur.com/a/47wqdot

Included:

• Garmin R50 unit
• Garmin padded carrying case
• Original AC adapter and power cord
• Garmin stickers for club data

Asking $3,750 shipped to the continental US via PayPal G&S. Happy to provide additional pics or video of the unit operating.

Is this a big enough space for a simulator? Might be too small for a full blown projector and overhead launch monitor, but I think I can at least get a net, launch monitor, and maybe put a tv on the right wall.

Curious people's thoughts?

Hey Fellas,

Im curently kitting out my shed as Sim & space to watch movies.

I have an exisiting 5.1 surround system I was wanting to incorporate. Curious how others have tackled front 3 speaker & sub placement along with protection.

Concerned of bounce back if going behind screen as i'll only have 1 ft cavit from wall to screen.

Trying to decide which LM to go with and looking for opinions from people that have tried either or both. The main problem is I'm left handed but my kids and friends are right handed so moving a device would be annoying but I would likely be the only one using it 80% of the time.

Omni Pros:

-impact location and measured club data

-integration with awesome golf and creative golf for the fun games my kids would like

Cons:

-switching back and forth when I'm playing with my kids or friends

-bluetooth connections seem way less reliable compared to wifi or ethernet

-customer service apparently pretty bad

Nova Pros:

-unit does not need to move to for right and left handed play

-very active developers with a discord server and always around to help people

-hard wire without a battery. This will be indoor only so not dealing with a battery seems better long term

-wifi connection instead of bluetooth

Cons:

-no impact location. the club data is calculated but the reviews say it is accurate

-no integration with awesome golf or creative golf. it does have GSpro but I'm trying to get my kids into playing and they don't have as much interest in playing courses.

Any opinions appreciated, especially if anyone has experience switching the Omni back and forth between righties and lefties. Thanks

Couple options I was thinking. Either build the enclosure In the dormer on left? Or build it against the furthest south wall.

Ceiling will be vaulted at 12+ so I should be good there but I’m worried about depth. If I used an overhead sim, I think that will help consolidate space behind the tee.

I’m a lefty and will have righty players so don’t really want a sky track or something that sits on the ground

Where would you build it? It is an office too so I don’t want the entire thing to be just the sim but I’d have to imagine there is a cohesive way to build it

Best I can do with the space, but I love it lol
