7 common golf simulator installation mistakes

Most simulator problems are avoidable with planning.

1. Buying before measuring

See the room dimensions guide.

2. Ignoring handedness

A side-placed camera unit or offset hitting spot may not work for a left-handed family member.

3. Screen too close to the wall

Impact screens need a gap behind them.

4. Underestimating subscriptions

Check what is included without a paid plan.

5. Poor projector placement

Shadows and swing-path conflicts are hard to fix after mounting.

6. A thin mat on concrete

Uncomfortable and hard on joints.

7. Skipping professional help when it's marginal

If height or depth is borderline, a site assessment is worth it.
