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.

Yeah that is pretty much what I did.

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.

It is fun. Not the most accurate but they look very nice.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
