Sounds like for your setup you may benefit from using a projector screen "paint" on the wall for movies/games, and have a pull away, fold away, roll-up (motorized?) setup for when you play golf.
Your picture quality would be the best for movies, and your screen for golf can be protected, up and out of the way, when the kids are around/playing.
That'd be what I'd do.

Hello Ironstrokes, I have been curious as to why sound matters, but realized how loud this would be in a house late at night. I am lucking that my sim is in a dedicated finished outbuilding. Sound is not an issue. My goal is to have a home theater room for the daughters sleep overs and movie night, a cool video game environment for son and me, and most importantly a golf sim room. I have Ideas for two screens one wall for movies and games, painted, and an impact in front of it. Wondering, is Carl's screen significantly better visually than Supertex. And do you know if the new version is visually the same or better. Strictly about image quality and durability. Sound is unimportant. I have a supertex and it's ok visually but not good enough for movies. Sounds like you have experience with several, any help would be great.Leave a comment:

Impact Screen Comparisons
I know there are already a few out there but figured I'd start a new thread here about impact screen comparison as I just made a little youtube video showing the difference in the impact sound between the HQ2 and Carl's Premium (old version as they are coming out with a new version soon). This was inspired when goatbarn asked the comparison between the noise level given off between these two screens and I honestly could not remember or didnt realize the difference.........but after making this video I shocked myself with how much quieter the Carls screen is!
Ive had 3 screens so far, the raw HQ2, the supertex and now the carl's premium screen. Its more expensive for sure, but feel like the carl's type of screen may be THE one to go with. Only used it for 2 or 3 months now but love the thickness of it. The thickness takes away most, if not all of the little puddling you may get in the sides of the screen after you hit a bunch of times. Its basically too thick to lay much of anywhere but straight down and smooth. Looking forward to seeing the longevity of it as well. Feels like it will last a very long time though. Will update down the line if that changes.
I would have put the supertex in this video as well but didnt realize all of the videos I had with it my mic volume somehow got jacked up to max, so that ruined all comparison between it. If someone else has any different thought/comparisons on the loudest/quality etc. screen out there and want to post it up here to compare, great, Im sure most of us would love to see/hear/read it.
Maybe some videos too of each type of screen and the person hitting a driver and 7 iron into them as I did in this video would be great to post here as well and really consolidate how it sounds and looks hitting into these different screens. Having videos like this would have been huge for me when I was looking up screens and im sure this will help many other down the line as well.
PS: I used the same driver, 7 iron and prov1x balls in each clip here
