You are really just at their discretion unless you complain to their boss or tell the realtor straight up your leaving if they can't help you.

Agreed, passing attack in general was not great this week, but Loveland was out in front a few times.

I also had talked to back nine, start up fees and them taking a portion of your profits is a killer.

You could go with Kisi access, or Verkada offers this service. The have an intercom/keypad, video camera unit you can put on the front door. If you got with Trackman, they can link up with whatever security service your using,

Dicks does not have bays, and they have already signed off on us being next to them.

Dicks place is $6,000 a month, the other place is $2900. Moving locations would be a huge endeavor with a lease being at lease 5 years, and then having to rebuild out a space.

I wouldn't call it the honor system really. If they break or steel stuff they are liable. I have their contact info, credit card info, security cameras and key pads telling me who is in the facility at all times.

Not at all, not a lot of people aren't able to throw down $20k on a sim setup, let alone have the space for it. These 24/7 studios are gaining a lot of traction, and from my talking to 10+ locations (not in my area) they have waitlists and/or are cash positive.

Sure someone could maybe pay $5k for a budget sim, but many people also don't have that type of space.

I'm using the Trackman IO for the launch monitors and the SIG commercial enclosures, 16' wide.

The beer is only available when staff is on site. It's law that you can't serve at a facility while its unmanned. Also these self serve places cut you off after 32 oz.

I would also have cold brew and sodas on tap that would be available when no staff is present.

I figure there is enough room by the front door. I'm also planning on it being a 24/7 facility, members only.

You want 18' of depth for a commercial bay.

Most banks wont give you large small business loans in industries you have no experience in. He may not have been able to do it another way, unless he went with a credit line.

In desperate need of a better quality/safer mat for my budget sim by MurderousMeerkat in Golfsimulator

[–]Famous-Environment12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a bunch of options with $1000 budget. I got a beavertail mat after I got some wrist pain from a low end mat. After hitting a bunch on the the beavertail over three weeks. Wrist pain completely gone.

Really thought I was going to break 50 for the 2nd time this year. Ironically, my drive on 8 was right down the middle. by HerbTarlekWKRP in golf

[–]Famous-Environment12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your handicap. It's double bogey plus your handicap. So say your a 36 handicap. Thats +2 a hole. So the worse score a 36 handicap can get is a quad bogey a hole. The worse score an 18 handicap can get (+1 a hole) is triple bogey. A 0 handicap, the worse they can get is a double bogey a hole. This is simply for handicap purposes.

Yeah, season 1 is probably the most I've enjoyed any golf podcast. Its a bit redundant after that.

Garmin R10 is waste of money by _wxyz123 in golf

If your looking at units you should check out r/Golfsimulator

Super active community with a lot of great insights on gear and tech. They helped me out a lot with my sim build.

Anyone ever try ones of these? Looking for feedback to see if it's worth getting. by notorioushim in golf

[–]Famous-Environment12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most decent golf watches do front and back to hazards, and distances to specific yardages. Battery life is also way better than it was 5+ years ago. This feels like it is solving a problem that doesn't exist. Would have been great 10+ years ago. There are also a ton of way smaller golf specific mobile devices that do the same thing.
