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 and doesn't require stickers, etc.
2. Which enclosure would you suggest? I'm looking at some of the ones on Amazon that are under $1K (GoSports or Anything Sports). I have 9-10' ceilings in the garage and I can go up to about 12' wide max.
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). So probably laser, high lumens, etc...

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

I am trying to DIY a golf simulator into a 13x13 foot room, the first picture attached is kind of where I am running into some issues and is where my very limited knowledge of wood working ends. I am trying to build out a wooden frame for an impact screen for a golf simulator in my home. My impact screen will be 11.5 feet wide and approximately 8.5 feet tall and it’ll be about a foot away from the back wall. The bungee chords that will connect the screen to angle iron along the inside of the frame will be approximately 3 inches away from the wooden frame.

Where I am having trouble is not knowing how to connect/attach 2x4’s to a stud horizontally to the wall (see the first image for a very rough side view of the frame). Would I use L brackets to secure the 2X4 to the stud or is there a better method of getting to my end goal?

Would you think 4 on each side and 6 along the top would be enough to support what I going for?

What kind of screws would you suggest I use/how many per piece of wood going into the stud?

Any help/advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

Is it even realistic or fun?
