Hey everyone.
This is a build I did for myself 2 years back. Unfortunately I had to shut this space down recently as I change locations and it won't be in use this winter, but I learned a great deal building this, and also got a lot of great information from this forum. Hopefully I can get someone going in the right direction or answer some questions for anyone that wants to build one this winter.
Specs:
Ball Club Monitor: Trackman 4 Indoor/Outdoor Model
Projector: Optoma GT1080 DLP Short Throw Gaming Projector (Short Throws are important for space requirements. I think 4k would be an improvement in the future if your software can play 4k which most cannot yet and do it well.
Impact Screen/Projector Screen: HQ Impact screen from Par2Pro with archery net 146” x 120” 16:9 ratio
Computer: New PC with fast everything (CPU, RAM, Video Card)
Software/Additional Software: TM software plus the FULL E6 Trugolf Connect Software package with 28 additional course pack E6 Golf.
Cameras: (2) Machine Vision Cameras (Manta) + 2 iPod Touches - The Manta cameras are NOT WORTH the money or effort. Ipod touches are wonderful.
Mat: Country Club Elite 38 x 60
Floor: Built a subfloor to hide all cables but also provide a putting green with various slopes. This worked incredibly well. After testing numerous putting green surfaces, I couldn't find one that was fast and smooth enough for my liking. My home course greens are typically running at 11-12 so I found a green carpet at the hardware store that when seamed together rolled as good as that one. Everything else I tried was too slow for my taste.
Feel free to shoot me any questions you have. Hopefully i can provide some answers.
Best of luck everyone!

Nice work with the mirror - I've always thought that would be a good addition, but figured cameras would offer a smaller but similar solution.
