well, I finally got my lazy butt to finish the sim, mostly. haha. about 95% done. just need to do something with the computer and then maybe hang clubs on the wall. but the important stuff is complete now.
thanks to everyone on the forum for sharing their builds and answering questions.
here are some pics.
attached angle iron to the walls and ceiling.
attached a moving blanket, then carl's screen (cheapest one), then finally got the direct from the mill screen and placed in front of that. attached with bungees and tarp clips to the angle iron. built up a subfloor. cut out room for the divot action insert. I can interchange it with a solid piece with turf on top in case the kids want to run around in the area so they don't keep stepping on my divot action, or if we do VR and walk around in the room in the future. carpet taped the turf to the subfloor. turf and divot action are exactly level. rolled out some creases in the turf with a carpet roller. hung black fabric from joann's, it was cheap, around the top and hanging from the sides as a border. carpet tiles on the walls. bounce back" ball stops about 8-12 inches from the screen with driver, about 3-4 feet with irons.
this was my first DIY project ever in my life. helped start my tool collection. but, I don't know if i'm gonna tackle another big project. I'm too lazy for this kind of thing, and being on the floor hurts my knees and back (I sound old), and hiring someone is really more my style. haha.
I finished about everything working between 2-4 hours at a time (after the kids go to bed), in around 14 sessions, I think? I could of probably done it faster, but some nights I was just too tired to work at a pace other than turtle mode.
actually, this thing won't let me post pics. I compressed most of them to under the allowable file limit, then it says it requires 600x600 max. any help on posting pics?
