Thanks for playing it my man. The layout of the course is basically perfect except there are no trees visible on hole 6. There is just dead area all the way down from the tee to about 20 yards short of the fairway and it's a super big drop down to the fairway. If Garmin would even step up the software to the skytrak or Square golf graphics they'd have a ridiculous product.
As I've never played on a golf simulator, I have the following questions: How is a course on a golf simulator realistic compared to a natural golf course? I see that when you play from the rough you take a club that allows you to reach 10 yards further. If you're in a sand trap, you reduce the strength of the shot and never play the shot as it should be played. In short, you're simply making a chip. How do you fly over a course to stop on a particular hole? Thank you. Alain Jacob
As far as realism goes, I think a lot of that will depend on that mat you have, and I think my current mat is better than my old mat, but I don't think any simulator will compare to the real thing. However, I lost probably at least 4 months of golfing outside during winter, so I think a sim is a great alternative. For Home Tee Hero, there is a little box that tells me how much the shot will penalized for distance, but for GSPro I don't think it tells you that until after you hit your shot. Bunkers definitely are not realistic. I'm actually pretty good out of bunkers and on a sim it is definitely more of a chip shot (but I need work on those, so that's ok!) For Home Tee Hero it does a flyover of every hole before you play it, and if I want to skip to the next hole I have to select the option to pick up my ball (which also adds 10 strokes to my scorecard).
The screen is from Carl's Place and I use a motorized roller from METechs. I attached the screen to the motor using some ball bungee cords. Here is a link to most, if not all, of my setup. sobojinski-solutions.notion.site/Golf-Simulator-Setup-129899a015a9806a95fcfb5b58ee0739?pvs=4

Welcome, and I agree if they can improve the graphics further this would be hard to beat.
When you are playing GSPro on the r50, how does it connect to a pc?
Connect the pc wifi to the r50, and then the r50 connects to the internet through your home wifi

Where did you get the retractable impact screen from? I’m looking to do a similar set up in my garage
Ya that screen is amazing and how do you roll it up?
