Picking up a Foresight GC2 and I want to set it up in my 3rd Bay of my garage.

Anyone do this? Was planning on using a short throw projector and hitting toward garage door. Bay is 10H x 16W x 23L.

Post a pic of your setup.

Not real high tech, but you can't beat the price.

Good thing you did not post this in OT or you would get, nice subtle brag

I've seen something similar, really not that hard to setup, screen, hardware and sensor.

Take the cars out before playing, hah.

Not sure if this is allowed, but you'll get better info from those at golfwrx where hundreds if not thousands of people have gone through this themselves.

I figured the only people who knew what it was would respond. If I was getting the hmt... they would be right. Lol

Reason I'm asking, the guy at foresight acted like I didn't have enough room to get a full screen projection. He acted like the most I'd get is a 6 ft image. I know someone has done this and worked out the links.

I went on a few other forums. I hadn't heard of that one. I'll check it out. Thank you.

I've got a buddy that has a flightscope set up in a garage bay


I've got another neighbor that has a gc2. It's badass. He has it set up in a bonus room over the garage with a full bar. I'll take a picture next time I'm over there

I had one in my office before in a previous business that I owned. Short throw projector. Optishot simulator. High impact screen. Could play Tiger woods golf on it. It was awesome. I ended up selling it....because....well.....I live on the golf course now, so it was kinda pointless.

I live on a course too.. but I don't like hitting on the range. I want to practice everyday and I need a setup to accommodate my work schedule. Plus it will be fun to have friends over to play courses around the world.

Well, mine was more out of necessity. I sold my business and the only place I could have put it would have been at home. The spare bedroom only has 9' ceiling which is too small to swing the driver (I'm 6'5").

My driver and iron game is pretty good and there's a green about 50 yards from my back door. I just typically work short game.
