Last year I picked up golf because, well COVID. I'm looking to build a sim in my new rental but want to make it as moveable as possible. Obviously, my partner doesn't want to look at a golf simulator every time she parks her car. Anyways, I'm looking to spend as little money as possible but still create a fun experience for my friends and me so that we can sit at home, hit golf balls, and not pay greens fees or wait for the WA state weather to magically be clear. I'm sure many of you are in the same boat.
I have been lurking for a bit now and with my stimmy and tax refund, it's time to splurge a little bit. I will be having righties and lefties over so I am trying to cater to both parties as much as possible.
SO FAR:
Mevo+ $2000
Sportscreen 16' $360
Imperfect SQ screen 7x131$200
3D golf mat $200
Facebook projector $100
Side net $100
Total ~$3000
I have been thinking about other cost savers and I'm wondering if I should just get a used mat from one of the driving ranges near me. I have a friend that works there and says that they replace them constantly. Would that be a good idea or would I start to develop shoulder problems not hitting off a designed concrete mat?
I also want to avoid buying a second gaming computer. Mine will be just above the garage in another room, plugged into an ethernet cord. Would I have any problems connecting/interference with the Mevo? I heard they can be finicky little guys.
I will include a picture of the garage just for fun in case anyone sees problems with my build. Ceilings are 9' high and while there isn't a wall-mounted opener, it is against the ceiling. I don't believe that placing the hitting portion of the mat under it would cause a problem for swinging.
Thank you for the help if you choose to. I truly have been blown away by the kindness on this forum.
