Cheap garage simulator

[Elmeroil]

Hi, brand new to the forum from London Ontario Canada. Looking for advice on an affordable way to have a bit of a simulator in the garage. Will just have a space heater so I won't be leaving equipment in there. I have turf and a good net, won't be doing a projection screen but wanting to hook a launch monitor up to my laptop and just use that.

Not looking for crazy good accuracy just wanting to keep swinging in the winter but make it a bit more like a real game. I have room for a full swing with driver, have been hitting balls the past few days with this current setup and it's working really well. Any advice is appreciated! Picture attached

I have gotten more than my money's worth out of my Optishot2. I also have had better luck than others report with getting it to read well. I have tuned my setup, have clubs it picks up well, have directed lighting and changed out the turf too. I still enjoy it.

With all that said, I am now waiting for my SkyTrak order to ship. So I am considering the OptiShot2 a gateway drug... (Ichi-go ichi-e)

Just a little update, the new pad came in yesterday and it works great so far. I'm shining a lamp on the pad which seems to be working well also. I raised my turf up to compensate for the height difference as well. Everyday I seem to tweak something else to make it a little bit better.

For the past 10 years I've been playing World Golf Tour on the computer, this is Miles and Miles more fun been sitting on the couch doing that!
