I've been thinking about building a golf sim for a few years, but never really had the space or time, The original plan had been to build a basement golf sim under the rear of our house (UK 3 storey front, 2 rear) but having explored the sealed off area we have, there really is no advantage to spending £0000's knocking through and making suitable for a golf sim when the ceiling height was likely only 8', we originally planned to dig down and lower the floor, but considering we've found out there's already a concrete floor laid in there with drainage etc, it really didn't seem worthwhile overall.
So without giving up on the idea completely and having no room for an outdoor build of any kind, i've taken over part of the garage.
It's not a big space and is only suitable for 40" or shorter clubs to be swung with comfort by me (Others may struggle at that length) but as i was looking for something to help me brush up on my medium/short game (160 yards and in) there will be plenty of room.
I've bought most of the equipment and started the build in the last week or 2, hopefully the screen will arrive in the next few days and i will be hitting balls by the weekend.
The spec i've gone for is as follows:
Skytrak Launch Monitor
40mm Artificial Turf (Just instead of carpet) This turned out to be longer than ordered so i decided to return the true up the walls (Higher on side than the other for clearance reasons)
Golfbays 2.5x2.5x1.3 Enclosure in Kit form (The steel required for this cost less than £100 cut to size and delivered)
Fiberbuilt S4 Tee Mat
BenQ W1210ST Projector (I believe this is the same/similar to the BenQ HT2150ST, just an EU version)
Wall to Wall 2600mm
Floor to Ceiling 2550mm
Screen to Tee 2100mm
Screen to Garage Door over 5000mm
I'll try and load some pictures up as and when i have them (or they'll upload without being on their sides!)
If anyone can tell me why they're on their sides it will help, every other way i view then they've fine, its just how they're uploaded to this site!
