Hey all,
Well.. as kids move on to college I have an opportunity to take full control of the 3rd bay in our 3 car garage for a full time hitting bay. I have been using the 2 car side of the garage for several years with a screen, cheap projector, and mat platform I would move out of the way when i need to get cars parked, but really looking forward to a permanent setup that I don’t have to set up and tear down all the time.
The 3rd stall space is 20ft long by 12ft wide. There is no wall separating it at all from the 2 car side of the garage... so I really have 2 options on orientation.. I plan to fully cover the entire 20’x12’ section of the garage with putting turf, and drop my Fiberbuilt 3 foot hitting strip in the hitting area. Screen will be 10 ft wide and go up to the ceiling which is 9ft 8in high.. plan to project in 4:3 aspect ratio. Hitting area about 9ft from the screen. I will be removing the garage opener and overhead door tracks so will have no ceiling obstructions.
I attached a couple pics of my 2 choices of which direction to place my screen. Would love opinions on which orientation to go with.. and why.. You can see in each there is the single car section, and the double car section. I drew a dotted line between the 2 sections, there is no wall there, but I don’t want to extend the putting turf past that line..
Leaning toward the option where I hit with the screen on the shot wall toward the back of the garage. I planned on putting the hitting strip 7ft from the long wall to allow room for lefties, and would then be 5ft from the deviding line for the right handed golfers... since no walls, should allow plenty of freedom to swing even though the stance area is shorter. I have the 10ft screen centered in that layout, but could push it all the way to the dividing line of the 2 garage sections as well to center the screen with the hitting strip better.
Any comments, suggestions, opinions welcome!
