Golf Simulator Build Guide: Best Setups for Every Budget This Winter

PlayBetter: The days are getting shorter, the weather's about to turn, and pretty soon playing outside gets a lot harder. So you've got two choices pack the game away until spring or bring it indoors. This is the episode where we show you how to do the second one. And the good news is it costs a lot less than you'd guess, and it's easier than you think. Winter sim season is coming, so let's get you set up. This is Golf Tech Weekly, presented by Playbed. Alright, let's get into it. Today is all about getting your game indoors before the cold hits and doing it right for how you actually play. We'll sort out what kind of sim golfer you are, how much room you really need, and how to play in real online leagues all winter without leaving your garage. And my co host Daniel has built these setups and plays in the leagues himself, so he's the perfect guy for this. Daniel, you ready? Yeah, totally. You know, it's ⁓ we talk a lot about launch monitors and and golf sim products, but we haven't really talked about what it takes to build one of these setups at your own home or maybe what the the research and requirement process goes into like building your own sim the right way. Not not to say you can just do this without research, but ⁓ I think it'll be a great episode today to kind of walk through the steps that ⁓ you know each person should take ⁓ when they consider building a golf sim, either in their home space or even in a commercial space. Perfect. Perfect. ⁓ well, let's start with ⁓ where every build should start, and that is space. ⁓ Daniel, what does a golfer actually need before they buy a thing? Sure. Certainly the probably the most important part of your research process to begin with is going to be measuring out the space that maybe you're you've identified or maybe considering for a golf simulator space. ⁓ I think the biggest thing that customers in today's world, like you've said on our show before, Mark, like, you know, it's it's not so much that price might be the hurdle that everybody has to clear. It's probably gonna be that you have enough space. And it happens almost every day talking to customers that we kind of open their eyes to understand like how much space a golf simulator actually takes up. And and I'm talking about one with a screen, ⁓ projector, full turf setups. I mean ⁓ th this is probably a full golf simulator setup, not something like with a net or something like that. You could do that, a more basic setup. We'll talk about that a little bit. ⁓ but for a standard golf simulator setup, you really have to you think about three dimensions. You need to consider your width, your depth, and the height of your area. Okay. So starting off with the ceiling height, probably one of the most important because if you don't have enough ceiling height, you can't swing a golf club. Okay, so you probably want to aim to see that you've got at least nine foot of clearance. I personally don't like to swing unless there's at least ten foot of ceiling height, ⁓ because once I get into my driver, my woods, or even my long irons, it just feels claustrophobic. So I would say we'll set the absolute minimum at nine feet of ceiling height. after that, we'll wanna look at the width of the space. And this is an important thing to consider when you're talking about your simulator space. ⁓ the width is gonna determine if you can s you know, set up your teeing area at the center of your hitting screen, if you need to be offset one way or another, if you're gonna be able to accommodate right and left-handed players seamlessly. ideally you can find twelve to fifteen feet of of width in the space. Now, not everybody's gonna have that. So if you don't have that, you probably wanna have at least nine feet of width. to be able to install a golf sim and and with that you're gonna be offset to one side or the other of your hitting enclosure and that means your projector mounting has to be critically positioned. ⁓ it means that you may not be able to aim at the center of your screen. There's a lot that goes into it when we start getting less narrow than probably that twelve foot width where you could sit in the center of your screen and actually hit balls and and even accommodate left and right handed players. So ⁓ Outside of the width, the last piece is the depth. And depth wise, believe it or not, we need at least 14 feet of depth. And that's going to be from any wall to the back of the simulator space where you're going to be basically the farthest point of your golf swing. We also have to account for within that 14 feet, we have to accommodate for one foot of space behind the impact screen and anything that's behind it, whether that's a wall, a tool bench, ⁓ anything that's behind it, you need at least one foot of clearance for that screen to flex and accept a golf shot. Otherwise we're we're gonna be playing a really, really unfun game of of dodgeball with a golf ball coming back at you. ⁓ so yeah height, width and depth ⁓ you basically want to aim for a spot that's nine foot high, at least ten foot wide, and at least fourteen foot deep to be comfortable. Perfect. Perfect summary. ⁓ the one Call out ⁓ regarding ceiling height is of course, don't forget about any obstructions that might be hanging down from the ceiling, whether that's garage door tracks, a ⁓ a garage door opener motor, a drop ceiling, anything like that. Of course, we're talking about a minimum of nine feet of clearance in all of the space that is going to affect your golf swing. ⁓ and then obviously some of those dimensions are non-negotiable in in others of them ⁓ have a little bit of of flex and play to them, just as Daniel mentioned, including, of course, if you're a shorter golfer or you have a shallower swing versus a taller golfer or a steeper swing, ⁓ you you may be able to get away with less or you may may need a little bit more. But ⁓ just as you said at the outset, Daniel, no longer is cost the main hurdle that we have to clear here. It is in fact space. Most often comes down to ceiling height. And If you prioritize your life correctly, maybe move some furniture around, put golf number one where it belongs, you can find the space. You can do it, and you can have a sim set up in your home. ⁓ that's true for most people. Not everybody, but that is true for most people. Now let's talk about what goes in that space. ⁓ obviously, we're going to get into some specifics regarding ⁓ different package options, but ⁓ talking about ⁓ the traditional kind of full shooting match. ⁓ full sim setup. Let's identify the components, Daniel. Yeah, certainly. And and this is something that I think is important just for everybody to know is that there are there are six main components with a standard golf simulator. And and almost all of these are included with with our complete packages. ⁓ so the first and foremost you're going to have your hitting turf, which is going to be the the turf that you're hitting shots from. You're going to have an impact screen and an enclosure. So that's going to be like the studio frame enclosure and the white fabric that's going to accept the shot. It may also have some netting and things like that on it. ⁓ You're going to need a projector. You're going to need a launch monitor, a computer or an iPad to run and manage the software. And then you need the software then to be installed on that device. Now that's for a standard setup. If you want to go more basic, ⁓ you could just get a hitting turf. You could get a hitting net and a launch monitor and a computer. Some people even get a little more extravagant, get a a TV to put on the wall to make the image bigger. ⁓ but just know that like when we talk about these golf sims, like you don't have to build the most extravagant high end golf simulator. Our buddy Danny ⁓ is a great example of that over at golf ⁓ garage golfer. He he built it with a net, a hitting mat and a ⁓ know a Rhapsoto MLM2 Pro. So you can start small and build things as you go too. So please don't take this as a you have to buy the full sim studio package and that's that's the only option we're giving you. There's plenty of ways that you can have a golf simulation experience in your space. Yeah, exactly. and just as you mentioned the complete packages that we sell ⁓ include everything generally speaking but the computer. And in fact, you know, depending on your launch monitor and the software that you want to run You may not even need a computer. You know, you may be able to get away with ⁓ with you doing this with just a mobile device. ⁓ but for some of the more robust, ⁓ more realistic SIM software options that are out there, things like GS Pro, that's very popular. You are going to need a gaming PC. ⁓ Playbetter does sell those. They sell a great brand, ⁓ Surf Thing, that come fully equipped with ⁓ all the specs that you would need. But ⁓ very often that computer is the one add-on component that you need to consider. ⁓ again, not for every build, but for a maybe ⁓ we might call a dream build, right? ⁓ all right, let's get into timing. ⁓ we're we're moving into for a lot of climates, ⁓ cooler part of the year. We're coming up on the end of summer. We are entering fall, still got a good amount of greengrass golf ahead of us, but ⁓ why would now be the time to start planning? your space for when those winter months do hit. Certainly ⁓ kind of a good question to ask yourself and and honestly probably a question most people will say, I don't I don't need a golf simulator right now. That's that's a project for down the road. Well there's actually a few reasons why why that's a great time to actually be looking into your golf simulator space in late August, early September. ⁓ the first part of it is you're gonna beat the rush. ⁓ here in about four to five weeks Every website, and especially playbetter.com, is going to get flooded with inquiries and orders and people getting their simulator spaces set up. They're going to already start looking at holiday gifts. And so lead times start to stretch. And, you know, the most popular products, we carry large quantities of of all the major brands, but we do get influx of orders on certain days, and sometimes we get a couple, two, three, four week lead times on certain things. So Right now we have stock of almost everything and there's very limited lead times, unless it's a square omni, of course. ⁓ but most things are are pretty readily available right now. So the first reason is just ⁓ item availability. ⁓ the fact that if you want it something for the winter, you you probably want to get it now so you can get it set up, get things dialed in, maybe get ⁓ your projector in and everything kind of aimed and and pushed in the way you really want it. So that way when winter comes and you're hosting people over, you're working on your game, you've got all that test and trial stuff kind of out of the way. Right. Secondly, and a reason that I would probably look at it right now is football season, it it technically it started last week, but it really starts this coming weekend here for Labor Day. And it just gives you a dual purpose time in this football season that you can Go outside, maybe in the garage, put the football game on the big screen, sit out there and watch it. Maybe you can hit some golf balls while you watch the games. You don't have to take the TV away from the significant other, which makes everybody happy a little bit in my experience. so yeah, I think that's another dual purpose. You it's just that time of the year where ⁓ you know, maybe you want to watch a big game on on a projector screen. Well, this gives you that dual purpose capability as well. ⁓ What do you think, Mark? I mean, are there any other reasons that that I miss there? I love actually that you brought that up, the dual purpose reason. ⁓ you know, it doesn't just have to be football, of course. This could be movie night with the kids, this could be video games with the family, this could be any number of things that ⁓ you could use that projector and impact screen that can double as a movie screen for just a fun night in the basement, in the garage, wherever you have your setup. And I'm with you. Now's the perfect time. you don't wanna be stuck facing a back order. You certainly don't wanna be stuck still installing the thing and figuring it all out when ⁓ the snow's flying and you wanna be hitting golf shots. So ⁓ a little bit of prior planning ⁓ is gonna put you in the best position to really max out your indoor season, take advantage of getting involved in some of the leagues that will be kicking off as the fall rolls into winter. ⁓ so yeah, I mean, now is the time. Now is exactly the time to start planning and you're gonna be happy that you did. ⁓ All right, so we've identified the space that you need. We've identified the components that go into that space. We've identified why now, very likely, is the time to at least start planning, maybe doing some shopping, ⁓ thinking about your options. ⁓ Let's talk now about what some of those options might be. And let's do it through the prism of what kind of sim golfer are you? Daniel, break it down for us as you see it. Kind of what are the typical types. of sim golfer and not to say that there's you know you can't be all of these things at once and probably most people are but how do you see that? Yeah I I kind of like to break it down into just a few categories, right? So I I think first there's there's the game improvement person or golf simulator guy who who wants to buy this just to basically lock the doors, turn down the lights and just driving range sessions, drills, and it's he's literally He wants this for his his or her own game improvement, right? We also have the entertainer who wants to bring people over to the house, show ⁓ the new tool, you know, try to do some in house competitions, maybe with their own kids, with their families, with their friends. And then lastly, you've got the sim league competitor, right? The person who just thrives on competition and is gonna miss the Saturday skins game during the winter. And maybe they want to just to just keep their competitive edge. So, ⁓ That's my three main categories. Now I think I want to kind of maybe go into it just a little bit more. Let's do that. Let's talk about let's kind of line up who ⁓ what types of products maybe align with those profiles that you just outlined. Yeah, exactly what I was thinking there. So starting with the game improver, ⁓ this is probably someone who's gonna be really data focused. Okay. So this is gonna be someone who wants the most amount of data. ⁓ software that's maybe geared towards golf professionals, teachers, instructors, that sort of thing. ⁓ so right off the bat, I'd probably think of Mevo Gen 2 ⁓ for the data heads out there. It's the most data you can g achieve with a swing of any product under ten thousand dollars. ⁓ so if you're someone who really loves data, I would highly suggest the Mevo Gen 2. If you don't know anything about that product, If you go through our channel, we actually did a full deep dive on the Mevo Gen 2 just a couple of weeks ago. So that would be a good episode to maybe check out. you could also look at the Square Omni again, a a bit of a wait time right now, but they introduce club impact location, they introduce all of the club data that you could want, and it's a photometric system, ⁓ all for under $2,000. So that in itself I find to be an extremely reliable device. And then lastly, I think either of the Sky Track options are actually a good option for that for that game improvement person. And I think you made a good point a few episodes ago too, Mark, that both the Skytrack Plus and Skytrack Max, they do use the same software, but it's so good for that person that wants to do everything with their golf game. Not only play rounds of golf, but also to literally work on different drills or different aspects of their game. I mean they're They're owned by a company called Golf Tech, if those of you that don't know, and and they have just hundreds of PGA professionals that teach out of their facilities nationwide. And they use those PGA professionals to make their software better. So if you think about a a a launch monitor or a software that was built by a golf instructor, the Skytrack is probably the best the best place to look at, in my opinion. ⁓ any thoughts on those three at all, Mark? I think those are all great picks. ⁓ I love that you brought up the Skytrack. Plus the ST Max, I think they fit nicely in our next category that we'll talk about, but certainly fit very well in the game improvement for just the reason you said. The the drills that you have, the library of drills, if you're somebody that wants to kind of gamify your practice and you want to work on specific things, they have options. You want to hit it around a a tree onto a little landing strip ⁓ that's on an island in in the a strip of water. ⁓ you have things like that. You want to hit it over a wall, under a wall, ⁓ all those sorts of things that really make practice more engaging. ⁓ it's excellent, excellent software for that, ⁓ excellent hardware as well. And as we'll get into, I think a little bit later, ⁓ screaming deal available if you're interested in looking at that family of products. ⁓ let's move on to that entertainer, that buddies and beer guy that that wants to have some fun, get some friends over. ⁓ rip rip some shots on the sim and ⁓ and have a good time. What would be a good option for them? Yeah, that, you know, and honestly, this this is probably going to be the one of the larger categories in my experience and customers I talk to, a lot of people want to buy buy simulators for entertainment purposes, but they also want it to be user friendly. ⁓ so in this scenario, like my my most f user friendly device that I know is the Garmin R fifty. And so for me, I think it's a great entertainment device. Number one, you have every golf course you could imagine to play on. So if if you're if you've got buddies that want to play your local course, if you want to play Augusta, Pebble Beach, you have all those options at your disposal. It's also super user friendly. So it makes things very simple from a setup point of view. So even if you're maybe if you're buying this as an entertainment source for a rental house that you own, I've had customers do that. The R fifty's perfect because it's so simple to get everything set up and running. I I'm with you. I would even throw the SkyTrack products into the entertainment portion of things because they have so many cool things built into their software that it it adds some entertainment value there. So I totally see where you're coming with from there. One that I didn't list on here for entertainment, I would even put like ⁓ like the the Falcon or even like a a track man device because even though they are premium purchases and they're they're more expensive than any other launch monitors we sell. They have they have different types of side games and things in their software that you can play. I know the trackman stuff, they're starting to dip into some ⁓ multi-sport capabilities and stuff like that. So I think that'll grow over time too. So that that might be something to consider with with the entertainment aspect of your sim build-out plans. Yeah, that's a really good point. ⁓ I love that you bring out the Garmin R fifty. It is undeniably the easiest to set up. kind of gives you that perfect option if maybe you're just planning to use this space mostly in the winter. Well then you've got your R50 that you can, if you want to, bring out to the range in the summer, bring it back inside in the winter. It's such an easy, easy setup, just as Daniel said. You don't even need a projector. And you could be playing sim golf ⁓ with a with a hitting net and and nothing else, a a a strip of of hitting turf and you can play right on the device itself. It also has the sneaky advantage of the native sim software Home T Hero giving you the option to pay either annually or by month. It's only $9.99 a month. So again, if you just wanted to use it in the winter, you didn't want to pay for it all year long, why not just buy a a couple of months worth of Home T Hero, jam out in the winter, put it away in the summer or bring it out to the driving range, and then fire it up again the the year following. Perfect, perfect for the entertainer. ⁓ what about you, Daniel, the Sim League competitor? what kind of options are available for somebody that really wants to grind, wants to play, ⁓ wants to kind of replace getting the juices flowing that they're not quite scratching that itch that they get throughout the summertime? and as we'll get into, there's a lot of cool, cool options available for that golfer when it comes to leagues. But what about for the hardware? Yeah, it's honestly kind of an open ended thing. ⁓ there's so many launch monitors that are pretty dang accurate and honestly they they pair with this the software with G S Pro already. So there are definitely a lot of options. But for me, when I sit here and look at what I would want out of ⁓ maybe if I want to join a bunch of sim leagues, is the first thing I'm gonna do is probably try to find the most accurate device that I can. And obviously a device that can capture putting. ⁓ because you'll you'll want even if they have some you know, some auto putts or gimme circles or something on some of them, you'll still need to be able to capture at least some form of putting most likely. ⁓ but when I think of devices, I, you know, top tier accuracy, I'm gonna look at probably like the Foresight GC3 or Bushnell Launch Pro, you know, same type of devices. If if you have the funds, obviously Foresight Quad, Falcon, any overhead device is probably the most premium. I I personally am fortunate enough our local facility uses Pro TVX. So we use that for everything. So top tier accuracy there is very important. Unicore, I think if you're looking even on a budget like Unicore i Mini Light, ⁓ is a great option for that. It has all the metrics and the accuracy that you would expect out of a high end Unicor option. So I I really think there's an array of products that would fit into this specific category, but there's a few that we mentioned, I think at least that I mentioned that I think stand out as far as ⁓ you know, the accuracy tier goes. And that's what I would personally look for. If that was my my main focus of build. Quick shout out for my boy D Fitz here. He ⁓ he won his local indoor sim league ⁓ down in down in Key West ⁓ that that just ended here shortly. So ⁓ don't bring your wallet around him if you're if you see him on online, ⁓ you don't want you don't want to get in any games with him. ⁓ another quick one I would just throw in there, and this could apply to any of our categories, ⁓ the Square Home Edition, only because you've got that ⁓ that free connection to GS Pro, not free, you have to pay GS Pro, but you don't pay anything additional to Square. So we talked about the Square Omni, it'd be the exact same case with that, but even less expensive is the Square Home Edition. And among the reasons that it's so great and it's so popular is because it's the only sub-1000 photometric launch monitor. So if you are tight on room depth and you need that that launch monitor that sits to the side of the ball, This is one that that doesn't cost you very much. And then again, you do not have to pay anything additional to Square in order to hook up to GS Pro and play in some of those leagues that Daniel is mentioning. ⁓ So yeah, so so let's talk a little bit about some of those options that are out there, Daniel. ⁓ I'm not sure that all golfers understand that there are options to compete ⁓ in the winter, indoors, ⁓ from the garage. their living room, their spare bedroom, their basement, or wherever they have their sim set up. Can you can you give us a little taste of ⁓ what some of that life includes? Yeah, certainly. ⁓ now I I compete with our local simulator facility. ⁓ so they have everything kind of pre-set up for us. But one thing I can tell you is that as long as you have GS Pro software, again, this is just my experience using GS Pro. There's other options with other softwares, but I think our our focal point will just be with GS Pro and and their SIM league capabilities. ⁓ but they actually sync with a website and a league management called Simulator Golf Tour. Okay. And so if you're with a facility, they can set up a clubhouse and you can just join and play at whatever your facilities fees are. But if you do want to join like worldwide leagues, ⁓ they have actual leagues that go along with the PGA Tour and you play four rounds at the same course as the PGA Tour does. And there's live leaderboards and things like that. So it's actually pretty intuitive. They even have different levels of the leagues based on your ball speed. So instead of just using like score handicap, where everybody I think in the world knows you can fudge a handicap and sandbag and and take people ⁓ for for all they're worth, with this you can't really cheat it because You kind of have to, you know, hit your shots and then it takes launch monitor data and then it it filters you into different flights based on on your data, which I think is cool because there's no way to cheat around that. And it it it it gives you everybody a fair opportunity, right? They have different leagues that are auto putt only. They ha so that way if you have like an MLM two pro or a Garmin R ten, you could compete in those because you don't have to do any putting. ⁓ they have leagues where it's all putt out where you actually have to finish every putt, and believe me, that gets really frustrating. ⁓ so it it's kind of like a little bit of any and all in between. I know our our friend ⁓ Joey Ligowski he has his own league that he runs along his YouTube channel. ⁓ that like right now Unicore, they have an invitational tournament. So if you're a Unicore user or owner or if you're considering it, ⁓ They actually just got done with their qualifying and they're into their championship weeks now. But like these my point is that these launch monitor companies even run contests from time to time all through this. Yeah. You yourself as a user, if you want to build your own clubhouse and run your own leagues, maybe you got some friends that want to come over, you can do that. I think the fee for that is like eighty bucks for the year. And then you can build your own clubhouse and invite people to play and maybe everybody has their own sim set up and they can play at their own or you can bring them over to your house and play. ⁓ it honestly the opportunities are endless. It doesn't matter if it's stroke play, match play, whatever you want to do, it's it's there at your disposal. It's one of the cool things about I mean, it's one of the things of course we all love about golf. One of the reasons we're all so into the game is the social aspect. And this is this is can become just as social in the wintertime. You know, you're playing with buddies from college or that you grew up with that maybe you guys are spread out ⁓ all a all around the country. This is a great way to stay engaged, ⁓ an even better opportunity than you might have on the actual outdoor golf course unless you're taking a destination trip. ⁓ also another one would be ⁓ Pin Seeker, right? ⁓ that's a really fun one, very quick turn games where you're ⁓ you are you're just doing closest to the pin challenges for ⁓ varying amounts of money. ⁓ there's actually a loophole that allows them to do that without it being considered wagering. ⁓ and so ⁓ you play in for real money. ⁓ and trust me that can get very addictive. So be careful with that one. let's talk about some of the ⁓ solutions that are available and I think we've got one big featured solution only because it's just too good of a price not to ⁓ mention and kind of drill down on. Daniel, can you tell us about the SkyTrack Plus and the Play Better Sim Studio package? Certainly. Yeah. I mean, and we've we've even stated it on our on our landing page when you get there. I mean, this is this is potentially like the deal of a lifetime. ⁓ and I I think it is the deal of a lifetime, honestly, coming from someone who's who's used the SkyTrack Plus quite a bit. ⁓ you're talking about everything we talked about at the beginning of the episode. ⁓ you've got projector, you've got enclosure, impact screen. Not only do you get a five by five hitting mat, but you also get A landing turf that goes underneath the screen to help catch the golf balls. you get a 25-foot HDMI cable, everything to mount your projector, and then you can choose your studio size, but if you stay with the standard eight or 10-foot ⁓ width options, you're talking about $3,000 for an entire package. And the only thing that you need to bring to the table is a computer or a phone or tablet just to operate and manage the software. That's the only thing that's not included with that package. Right. But we're talking about, I mean, this this is actually cheaper than if you just go and try to buy the Sim Studio package without a launch monitor. So like this is literally the most insane deal that I've ever seen in in any simulator ⁓ package across the internet. And I think it's important that we do note it is it is a closeout sale and it's while supplies last. So as soon as we sell out, this this package will never be offered again. So this is literally probably the only opportunity you're gonna get to get this type of deal. like ever. Yep. Al also important to note that Skytrack has said they will continue to support the Skytrack Plus. And of course, because it's so similar to the ongoing ST Max, ⁓ of course they're going to support it. And and they've they've sold far too many of them to to leave people hanging. So that's not something you need to be worried about. ⁓ honestly if you're looking for the best deal or kind of the the no-brainer pick here, that is a very easy decision. ⁓ talked earlier about all the great advantages that that device already gives you, that all of the accompanying software already gives you as well. So ⁓ that's one that fits all the profiles we identified. It is a sit to the side of the golf ball option. So it it covers the person that maybe is a little bit tighter on room depth. Just an all-around great option at a screaming deal. So certainly one not to not to wait on. ⁓ Daniel, anything that we haven't covered? ⁓ before we get out of here. Not entirely. Again, I think the the biggest thing is like, you know, like my father always told me, you know, building things growing up. You got to measure twice twice, cut once. Well, it's the same thing when you go into the into the simulator research area. Measure maybe three or four times and and select which one you're gonna buy just one time. ⁓ make sure that you've got those dimensions dialed in. If you're unsure, or if you're thinking, hey, I'm really close and and you aren't sure, hey, I don't know if this is gonna fit, give us a call. Fill out a golf simulator advisor form on our website, do either of the ⁓ either or, and our team of experts will be there to guide you and make sure that you get the package and and the size of enclosure that that works best for you. Well said. All right. So yeah, lock the dimensions, define your goal, ⁓ pick your budget. And I promise you this: it's all easier than what you might think it is, and it's all more affordable. than what you might fear it is. Is that fair to say, Daniel? A hundred percent. Yeah, a hundred percent. I get that question every day. How hard are these things to build? They're honestly they're easier than putting up a tent at a campsite, in my opinion. Honestly, the hardest part is going through some of the settings on the technology versus actually building out the sim studios. So like like we said a few episodes ago, you know, we we built one of these things in like fifteen minutes. So ⁓ I think I think obviously we're experts in the field, but ⁓ I I really think anybody can do it. As long as you don't have any type of physical limitation, anybody can put these together and and get golfing in their own space. Yeah. I do want to tease one product that we're going to feature in an upcoming episode very soon, and that would be the Vanish Light series. ⁓ that is a retractable ⁓ golf simulator or golf enclosure. It's actually the light series, the the screen retracts, the vanish series, the entire enclosure retracts up to the up to the ceiling. ⁓ And so just an incredible option if you are that golfer who plans to put this in the garage, but also needs to park the cars in the garage. That was me. I just put one in my garage.
