I had bought a mirror on Prime Days and when it arrived it was in a huge box that I won’t be able to fit it in my car to take it to my shop. So I had to return it. It was like 72”x40” so I think even too big than I really needed.
I am putting it on the back wall which should be able 6-7 feet from the golfer. What size mirror should I get so that golfer can see their entire swing and club? Thanks.
What’s up guys? Looking to start an indoor golf business in my town. Nothing like it in the area.
Majority of funds will come from cash reserves. We are a small local company so cost is important.
I know trackmans are the epitome. Did anyone go with a more budget friendly option?
We don’t want to lack technology where customers don’t want to come back but at the same time can we still get a good set up without costing an arm and a leg
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi everyone. Sorry if this should already be clear to me- I'm bad at reddit search.
If anyone has experience with using inflatable enclosures for golf sim rental use, I'm curious. If the ball goes wide of the impact curtain and hits the inflated support beam, I'm sure the ball comes rocketing back toward the player or onlookers. Does this happen? If yes, how do you keep the ball from ricocheting back?
I was hoping to have a green behind the bays for people to putt while they wait, or while their buddies hit. Barstools or high benches in the backs of each bay. I'm worried that with the unit I'm looking at, the depth of the bays isn't enough and I'd either have to reduce the green size or take it away altogether since at that point it'd be like a putting strip rather than a green.
Is 16' 4" enough?
Edit: Sounds like that depth isn't quite enough. So removing the green, does that mean I'm losing a lot of value for customers?
This is for the golf sim business owners who started their own. Not the franchises. I see so many people on here starting with 6+ bays right off the bat. I’ve run the numbers on ALL of the expenses to start….. and…. Unless you were sitting on $40K for a cash equity injection for a business loan…. How did you do it?
I’m looking at starting small with two bays. Trackman IO (I’m not cheaping out on the sims, thats one of the top complaints from customers is cheap sims)…. Two bays, small lounge area behind the bays and a small bar. Nothing crazy. 24/7 access for members. Walk in hours for non members.
I’ve run down all the rabbit holes for funding the startup. Grants are next to impossible. Banks won’t lend to non-revenue producing businesses. And even if they do they want a pretty penny for equity to start.
I’m very passionate about sim golf and starting this business. What is the secret that I can’t seem to crack?
Hey all
Just opened a 24/7 sim with 4 bays. I knew I hadn’t solved for cleaning and am trying to now.
General question is: what’s a good system for cleaning?
I think that includes details like: who do you use, how often, what are their duties and costs, but I’d love to hear how other owners are approaching this.
