Finished up shoreline at about 130. Finished with a personal best 96.

Tee boxes were a little beat up but overall the course was in fantastic shape. Greens were awesome.

I'm glad to hear that. I play there weekly, and while the greens are not in bad shape, I just find them terribly slow and usually pretty shaggy.

If think if you you could find a way to have real grass to hit off inside it would be amazing in the winter. But that's my own bias since I absolutely refuse to hit off mats

have you hit off these? would love to invest in this for my garage sim, but wife would crap at the price.

This looks better, too (the divot hitting strip one, that is)

How much does a decent not great setup cost for an in home SIM?

How much does a decent not great setup cost for an in home SIM?

I'd classify mine as decent, not great. I have the Garmin R10 and it was around $600 new. You can probably get cheaper now, since there is better tech out now.

I got an impact projector screen for $100 or so.

I got a protective net to act as a baffle and to catch the random shank now and again for about $40.

I went with a hitting strip for about $80 then built my own cheap stance mat (glued to a piece of plywood) for around $90.

probably another $100 or give or take for mounting hardware, pvc to frame the impact screen, etc.

I had an old HD projector from work I wasn't using anymore.

So all in it was probably around $1,000.

Go to Rawhide Golf Mats grab a cheap one then go to Gung Ho Golf or Carls and grab a hitting strip that you can insert into the first mat. It's high quality and the hitting strips won't beat up your wrists or elbows. You can get it done for a little more than $300 and have something that will last a long time.

I mean it’s pretty clear it’s those two. Scheffler and Rahm are the two who could pass them

If talking since 2010ish I’d put it
1. Brooks
2. Rory

Then theirs a big drop off and it’s guys like Spieth, JT, Rahm, Scottie, DJ, then another drop off to the Morikawas, Bubbas, Rose, Day, etc.

Now If we are talking since 2000 it’s tiger, huge gap, Phil, even bigger gap, rest of the field

I will admit I’m a big Rory Fan, but I have a lot of northern Irish heritage so he’s an easy guy to root for, also when he’s 100% on no one is more talented

how was Caprock?

Really, really fantastic. The amenities are world class, the views are spectacular. That said, there's a reason why Sand Hills is a top 10 golf course in the world.

Those bunkers are incredible to look at. Probably not as fun trying to hit out of.

How'd you all get on?

That’s one hell of a two course combo.

It pays to have friends like @#HBD with immeasurable wealth and connections.

I heard Caprock is in better shape than Sand Hills right now. Any truth to that rumor?

Not in my view. Both were perfect.
