Any numbers from before ? after (swing speed, ball speed, carry, spin)?

That's plenty for a sim but it might feel a little tight if you want a bunch of seating or something extra. You can generally put a sofa to the side, but behind is cutting it close. (Screen 1ft from wall + 8-9 ft to hitting area + 7 ft swing arc with driver means you're not far from the back.)

Generally, ~14ft in width is enough for a centered hitting strip. You can offset if only hitting from one side.

10ft ceilings is good enough for all but the tallest and steepest swings.

They're independent contractors so they should be able to leave and come back if they want, if they still have status. Brooks and Rahm both have it for years to come due to "recent" major wins.

All PGA tour players have benefitted from LIV with the increased purses. They should move on and accept anyone that wants to return.

I think Rahm only left because he thought a merger was imminent and was capitalizing on a big payday. It seems that he otherwise regrets moving due to the lack of competitiveness and legacy.

Many people can get away with 8.5-9', but all it takes is that one friend coming over with a steep backswing or high follow through and there's a new divot in your ceiling. Lower ceilings can also subconsciously alter a swing. So the general recommendation is at least 10', but less can be fine.

Counter point to your 6'2" is I'm limited to ~9 iron in an 8' ceiling at 5'6".

If he wants to consider an overhead launch monitor, they typically need 9.5' or more.

You’ll have to define plenty of space and a rough idea on budget to get realistic recommendations. You can range from $250-$40k pretty easily depending on how wild you want to get. Ideally you have 10’ ceilings and at least a 14’ wide x 20’ long area if you’re looking to have others in the room for a social sized sim. You can get by with less, just depends on what the goals.

Do you want lower launch, lower spin, and feel like you're swinging a 2x4 then black profiles might be for you.

Blue is generally mid launch and spin. You can feel some kick in it depending on your transition.

At 110-115 swing speed you're probably firmly into x stiffness unless you trim a stiff shaft.

I played the North course about this time last year and the rough was already being grown up. It was easy to lose a ball two feet off the fairway. It’s a beautiful course though.

Mind saying what city you're in? I wouldn't be shocked if someone here is a member at the club(s) you're looking at and can give real insight.

Otherwise, you've got the basics in the thread:

1) Equity vs Corporate Owned - Assessments and annual increases are the biggest differences
2) F&B minimums
3) Are they closed on a day that doesn't work with your schedule
4) How likely are you to use any of the other amenities
5) How long are the rounds - I've gotten used to 3-3.5 hr foursomes even with a lot of guys on the course
6) Are the practice facilities nice enough to justify driving vs using your net
7) Cart fee, walking fee, etc. adds up quickly
8) How early does tee sheet open and is it immediately filled with regulars, are there cancellation charges if you miss?

Hard to blame Bradley for the lack of putts by the USA team and Europe seemingly making anything in the zip code.

They don't get to choose who the pairings play against. He picks his four pairings and says who's going out 1,2,3,4 blindly against Donald doing the same.

That said, Collin and Harris had nothing going today and I'm surprised they're playing over JJ or Burns. JJ had the dead weight of Scottie most of the afternoon.

$4/month is about lowest I’ve consistently seen it go when trying to do the whole cancel routine.
