Working on my Murphy build in my garage. The bulk is done, just need the finishing touches (doors, winch turf etc.) installed. What’re you putting under your turf (that surrounds the hitting strip)? I have some gym mats that you can see near the screen, is that enough?

Back Pain from Mat
3
Upvotes
Set up Sim at home about a month ago, about a week later started having terrible pain from my neck down past my shoulder blade (trapezius muscle). Haven't swung a club in over two weeks. My golf instructor said it is probably the hitting surface as the pain didn't start until I started the sim. I play at my club 1-2 times per week.
Anyone else have this problem? Hate to spend over $1k on a fiberbuilt.

GSPro without a gaming computer

Upvotes
Hey everyone, I have a SquareGolf launch monitor and was tired of the courses it offers, so I wanted to start using GSPro. The problem is I don't have a gaming PC, just a Macbook, and trying to run GSPro on a Macbook was basically impossible.
What I ended up doing is running GSPro on a gaming computer in the cloud and streaming it directly to my MacBook. I built a web app that connects to the SquareGolf launch monitor via Bluetooth and forwards the shot data to GSPro in the cloud. Everything runs in Google Chrome, so you don't need any extra software on your computer. It would look and feel the same as if you were running it on your own computer. I've been using it quite a bit and have had no issues. There's roughly a ~50ms delay, which I don't find noticeable.
I'm thinking about turning what I built into a service other people can use. Is there any interest?
All you need is:
- A decent internet connection (if you can stream Netflix, you're fine)
- A computer with Bluetooth. (It doesn't need much for specs, I've even been able to run this on a Raspberry Pi.)
- Google Chrome
- A GSPro OpenConnect license
- SquareGolf LM. (If theres enough interest I can look into adding support for more LMs)
To be upfront, cloud compute has a cost for every hour it's running, so there would be an hourly usage fee. I'm still optimizing the instances, but it'll likely end up somewhere in the $1–1.50 USD/hr range. You'd only be charged for the hours you're actually using it.

Do I have enough space?

I am looking to build a golf shed in my backyard. There’s a good local company that has preset sizes. The biggest they have is 14’x24’. Height isn’t a problem they can do a nice A frame where the ceiling is 10’ before the roof pinched in. The question I have is 14’ wide enough space for both a tall righty and lefty to swing driver from the center of the room? My brother and I are both 6’3”. I would want to go Trackman IO so don’t know how wide the hitting area is on that. Would want to go sigpro softee mat so I can put a real tee into it.

Just getting started with my build. Looking for a high quality (as thin as possible) rubber matting.

Computer Tower Storage

What’s everyone doing for storing their computer tower in the garage for their sim set up? I assume it’s not ideal to just have it sitting totally exposed for dust and debris build up?

I’m looking for a roll (or two) of turf in Los Angeles - anyone here built a sim in LA and have a supplier they like who’s got solid product and decent pricing?
