I don't know how I missed this but would love to put something like this in my basement! Do you have the specs or plans?

8' x 8' framed out with 2x4s.  Two sheets of 4' x 8' smooth fiber board on top (3/4" thick).  Got some green patio outdoor carpet from Menards and glued it to the fiber board after installing the cups.  Rolls pretty true as well.  Speed very comparable to a nice green.  I placed the holes accordingly to give putting options up to 8'.  Costed around $150 or so.

I just wish I had a place in the house to take a full swing. The garage ceiling is finished and I can't in there either....

Hello all, first post....

I've been visiting Vitense here in Madison on a regular basis and it looks like they're building new hitting bays.  The new bays look to be an improvement on the "open air with space heater" approach.

Also Door Creek golf course in Cottage Grove has 3 indoor simulators which I've been to a few times.

I picked up a cheap putting green from Golf Galaxy for the basement.  I may need to upgrade soon to something a little more substantial and realistic.

Welcome @3overafter1 ! I am headed to the simulator we have here in Oconomowoc next sat for the first time this winter. Should be fun. I think we will play pebble.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Interesting changes. The idea of relegation and promotion have always been there in a different form (getting and losing your card etc and qualifying for bigger events) but it looks like they want to define it better for top tier events. The Tour has always had A and B level events (and even lower). It will be interesting what they choose as the Challenger Series events and whether some tournaments go to the Challenger Series that used to be prestigious. Not sure how the networks will take to this knowing they have “Challenger” Series events defined that way now. Also, I’m not happy that John Henry and Theo Epstein are involved. Look what Henry has done to the Red Sox.

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.
