DIY Roll-Up Garage Golf Simulator
Welcome to Chuck Builds! In this video I go into excruciating detail about each component of my budget, DIY garage golf Simulator. For about $1400, I was able to build an extremely budget friendly - yet mostly full featured golf simulator. I do a high-level walk through at the beginning of this video before diving into more detail in chapters. This is my longest video to date and was brutal for me to edit, but I didn't want to split this video into a playlist. I apologize for the rambling detail and loose connection between thought processes. This sim could be reduced further for extreme cost savings but ultimately this is where I ended up and what has been really fun and very playable. Again, this is far from perfect, but I have had a blast using it! Embrace the Wrinkles!
Garmin R10, GS Pro, GoSports Mat and Screen.
