So I am in the process of moving house and luckily the house has a garage which I already have earmarked as my Golf Sim/Gym and general man cave area :-)
The dimensions are a bit tight so wondering peoples thoughts on if it can be done.
Length is ok at 5.8m (19') width is just about ok at 2.8m (9.2') but height is tight at 2.6m (8.5').... for once I am maybe lucky to be short at 5' 7" so almost 3 feet of room above. Driver is something I really want to use a lot in this setup but a bit worried at this dimension- is it doable? I have quite a shallow backswing and downswing. Launch angle is 16-18 but occasionally get the odd sky on my bad hits
If it can be done the next thing to consider is building it in stages as the house move is no small cost.
Ideally going to start with just a mat for practice with foam balls,
Then look to install net and impact screen- just wondering if this can be done pretty cheaply myself? I was thinking archery netting then maybe just large heavy duty dust sheets? Or even bed sheets secured and hung over a fixed pole? Are there better (but still inexpensive) ways of doing this
How much space is needed between walls/ceiling and net and screen so it kills the ball before hitting wall or ceiling?
Then would probably look to buy a skytrak system then lastly projector. I have a laptop and android tablet which I know isn't supported yet but would probably just get an ipad for the skytrak.
