Garage Simulator Setup

This is my current setup, using the Garmin Approach R10. I want to get something different, but a LM that doesn't need a PC (iPhone or iPad is fine, or one that doesn't need anything).

My plan is to get an actual enclosure instead of the net/screen combo, and then buy a projector.

So my questions are:

  1. Which LM would you suggest if we just want to use the range feature and play some rounds on golf courses. It would be for practice, but also just to have fun with my kids and friends. The R10 is too hard to set up and to get it to read all the shots, etc. I want something that will work in the garage without too much hassle.

  2. Which enclosure would you suggest? I'm looking at some of the ones on Amazon that are under $1K. I have 9-10' ceilings in the garage and I can go up to about 12' wide.

  3. Which projector would you suggest? The garage does get some light in through the garage door windows, and I'd also like the option to use the projector outside to watch football, etc. I'd prefer to stay under $1500. (Would also prefer to mount the projector to the enclosure or just place it on a table next to/behind the hitting mat, or on the ground in front of the hitting mat).

Thanks for any help, there are just way too many options and I'm going crazy!!!

Which projector should I buy?

It will be mainly used in a garage. I have blinds on the windows, but there's still light that comes in from the garage door windows. So it needs to work ok with some light, but will also be used at night. It will either be ceiling mounted, or I have to figure something else out.

What’s next after the Approach R10

We have the r10 and have trouble getting it to work correctly and read the ball most of the time. We have a net/screen and hitting mat already, but I’m open to a full kit if that’s easier. What launch monitor should I look at. Not as concerned about data, mainly for range practice and to play courses with my son or friends. This is the current setup in the garage, but u do still park in here!

iMessage activation unsuccessful

All of a sudden my son’s phone won’t use iMessage. It keeps saying activation unsuccessful. Everything worked fine until last night. Any suggestions?
