How Tim Reilly Built His Dream Golf Simulator in the Garage
Tim Reilly turned his garage into a golf simulator using the Full Swing KIT Studio set. The project includes running electricity, installing French doors, and artificial turf. The simulator allows playing on famous courses like Pebble Beach. It's not just a trend but an opportunity to train year-round.
In golf, creating home simulators is gaining popularity. Tim Reilly, an avid golfer, shared his experience of creating the perfect training corner in his garage. He used the Full Swing KIT Studio set to transform the space into a professional center.
The process began with running electricity: Tim, along with his father, dug a 12-meter trench to lay the cable, emphasizing the importance of working with a professional electrician. Then, the Full Swing simulator was chosen, which caught attention at the PGA Show in Orlando for its simplicity and quality.
Challenges arose when updating the garage facade and selecting equipment. To preserve space, French doors were installed to increase natural light. The ceiling was also raised for a full swing.
T1-11 panels were used for wall finishes, being more economical and durable than drywall. The floor was insulated with rubber mats and covered with GrassTex artificial turf, which also serves as a putting area.
The Full Swing simulator helps personalize training, allowing play on famous courses such as Pebble Beach and TPC Sawgrass, maintaining compactness and mobility.
Creating a golf simulator has become not only a trend but also a place to play any time of the year. Tim advises planning each step and not being afraid to experiment.
