New Golf Sim Build - Mike80 is BACK!

[jagred64]

Love the turf you used. Went to the web site and tried to find the one you bought, could not seem to find it ( Nylon Turf: 1/2" thick 12' x 15' roll from TurfAvenue.com). Could you please give me the exact one you ordered. Thanks

[Mike80]

jagred64 I looked on TurfAvenuse.com and didn't see the link they used to have on the site titled "Nylon Turf". I Google searched the exact turf I bought and found a backdoor link to their site with the turf I bought. Not sure if they still sell this model or not. I would call them and find out if they still have this turf or something similar.

It is actually made for putting greens, but nice and thin and feels like hitting off a fairway.

This is the turf I bought:
66NGE EZ Pro Putt BentGrass
15' x 12'
$3.74 sq.ft (total 180) = $673.20

Now that it’s been in for a few weeks, how is the turf holding up where your hitting area is?

[Mike80]

The turf is holding up really well! It’s made really good. Only issue I’m seeing is the 1/2 inch interlocking tile foam squares. The far back middle tile is starting to bubble up. I am going to add double sided carpet tape on bottom of the foam tiles in hitting area so it sticks to concrete floor to hold down. It’s very minor now but overtime it might get worse. In future I might need a heavier duty bottom padding to put below hitting area. The foam tiles are thin and with impact and friction they can mold with a bend shape.

Sorry for butting in on the previous posted question, bit 1 question on your iPad touch screen software....is it or do you know of any that exists for android...i have an android tablet and wont go out and buy another pad.

[Mike80]

The one I created only works with Air Keyboard. So if Android doesn’t support that app then it won’t work on Android tablet. I’m not sure if anyone created one for Android using a different app. I’m sure there are similar apps for Android like Air Keyboard. It’s basically a remote touchscreen keyboard app.

brilliant, thanks for the reply.

Great setup mike80 question on side walls and ceiling in your enclosure what did you put on the plywood to absorb mishits

[Mike80]

LeftyLeff52 I used the Anti-Fatigue foam mats from Harbor Freight. I put those mats on ceiling and side walls. I also used these mats as my base floor below my turf for padding.

These are the mats I used.
