MISC/RANDOM/BS Golf Chatter Thread - Page 433 - Golf and Golf Tournament Forum

I looked into it awhile ago but people I talked to said it just wasn't that realistic. Feedback was that it's an awesome video game but not going to help much with your swing.

Thinman, what was the approximate price per sqft for your putting green?

The Sky Trak must have felt like a bargain compared to that.

Thanks. Trying to decide if it's worth it for a small putting green in my yard where grass doesn't grow well.

I'll have both for much less when I'm done. Waterproof marine quality tarp incoming for the cage plus parts to convert the top to a low peak. Projector/screen will follow. PC running GolfClub in the shed and doing HDMI extender for the projector, SkyTrak is wifi.

best money i've ever spent.

For some reason, the indoor solutions do not appeal to me. Maybe that will change after this winter, but I plan to be out there in the sim with a fire going all the time.

Looks like a awesome putting green, my problem is I get bored of putting practice after about 5 minutes so would prob be a waste of 16k.

It is very awesome, and if you have the money well worth it. First thing I am splurging on when I find high enough ceilings is skytrak with the Golf Club Game though.

I screwed up pretty big last year when i built my workshop and for some unknown idiotic reason only did 8' walls. would have been a perfect sim room.

maybe i'll raise it in a couple years

Somewhere there is a video of me showing why 8 foot ceilings don't tend to work well.

I got my Steam Link yesterday and got that working, so I was able to pickup The Golf Club Game today and get that running on the Skytrak in the cage.

It's freaking awesome.

Played Pinehurst #2 and shot 92. Couple false fronts just killed me and putting overall is going to take a bit to get use to. It's really damn good though.

So here is what happened to my M1:

I circled the two cracks. Brought it back to where I bought it and they gave me a new head for it. Now it's time to flip it for something else.

Any current/former Taylormade R9 driver users here? I'm still gaming it, and have been fighting thru some confidence issues with it, at least until my round today, where everything seemed to come together, at least from a ball strike standpoint. Before that, I was considering an update, maybe to something like the SLDR/R1. If you've played the R9 before & found success with something further down the road, tell me your story. I tried my Dad's RBZ on the range and couldn't hit the damn thing for ****.

can't stop. going in for a 3rd round today. started the online q-school, first round 86 @ black brook golf course (probably fake, dunno)

starting to get the chipping down & putting down a little better. you get gimme's inside 6', so that helps a ton. the skytrak has issues picking up really short putts.
