How does SkyTrak do putting? Is the question we get asked on a regular basis. So we have put a little video together showing exactly how this works.
We have used the Golf Club Game Software for this demonstration in our demo facility in Cranleigh, Surrey.
Our client had purchased a Foresight Sports GCQuad and was looking for golf simulator enclosure in his double garage in Crewe.
We came up and showed some of our previous installations and made a suggestion of the Home Golf Simulator enclosure and screen.
We manufacture these to the size required. Together with artificial putting turf and our renowned Tee Turf mat we installed the enclosure, turf and mat in a few hours.
Because this has a low ceiling we specified a projector with 4000 lumins for brightness and a side horizontal keystone.
If you notice the projector is offset to the screen. This means there is no shadow for the right handed golf on the screen.
Size of the enclosure was 2.5M High x 2.8M Wide x 1M Deep.
Kristian came to Golf Swing Systems after seeing our work at Callaway Golf’s fitting center at Chessington.
Wanting to setup his own fitting and coaching studio at Sunnindale Heath Golf Club we helped Kristian setup his studio with the right measurements, lighting and power requirements.
Wanting this to be a pristine academy Kristian opted for leather cushions for the side wall and ceiling protection.
For the launch monitor Trackman was used. This also enables video to be used with Trackman and putting.

Our Client contacted us after seeing our work via the website. Living out of the UK for long periods of time, our client gave instructions to look at his house in Surrey and the look at the possibility of installing a golf simulator in the basement of the house.
Seeing the room I suggested the Trackman simulator for our client as outdoor usage was also important. The house itself suggested that quality was essential so a timber framed, carpeted enclosure was offered.
The room was over 7M deep and that was more than enough for the Trackman 4. We installed TruGolf E6 for the simulation package as well.
Mike Ovett, PGA Professional at Pyecombe Golf Club and Hassocks Golf Club asked Golf Swing Systems to come in and look at a possible space for a new coaching studio at Pyecombe Golf Club.
Having previously worked for Mike before installing his studio at Hassocks Golf Club we were the the first point of call. After meeting with the committee and Mike and getting a feel for what budget was available we offered a cabin construction 6M Deep x 5M Wide x 3.5M High at the front dropping to 3M at the back. This sit on a concrete base 150mm thick which the green keepers put down.
We then worked with the golf clubs electrician to advise on where power and lighting should be installed. When the Cabin was ready we then installed our enclosure and screen system, with artificial putting turf, Tee Turf Mat and the SkyTrak Golf Simulator.

You can download a copy of the plans of the cabin here https://www.golfswingsystems.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/SkyTrak-Cabin-Full-Sytem-with-TGC.ppt.pdf
Our customer had seen our work on various projects online and just needed to know the ideal dimensions for a cabin.
We provided a quote and then very quickly installed for him.
This particular cabin was 6M Deep, 3.3M high dropping to 3M at the back and 5M wide giving more than enough space for a great SkyTrak simulator.
The Enclosure size was 4M Wide x 3M High x 2M deep and we then installed the artificial turf floor and Tee Turf Mat
We were hired by Scolmore Group for the CEF Live event at the NEC Birmingham for 3 days. Our brief was to run a nearest the pin competition and data grab for Scolmore.
We had over 500 people use the system over the 3 days at the event and this gave Scolmores team a great chance to meet new customers from the college trainees attending to architects and of course branches managers and account managers from CEF.
There was even a celebrity at the event, being Billy Byrne from BBC’s DYSOS who was introducing manufactures and products on stage.
Aston Barclay asked Golf Swing Systems if they could hire our SkyTrak Golf Simulator out for the day for the CDX17 event. Aston Barclay are one of the sponsors of Carly Booth who was there to set the nearest the pin challenge. Challenge was nearest the pin over 127 Yards and Carly stuck it to 7″. The nearest challenger was 7ft.
Over the course of the day, nearly 200 entrants participated to try and win the prize of a Golf Day with Carly Booth on her charity day in August.
The Golf Simulator hire drew the crowd into the booth enabling Aston Barclay to meet new clients and shake hands with their existing ones.
The world famous Walton Heath Golf Club, being the Ryder Cup venue in 1981 and having such famous members such as Edward Prince of Wales in 1935, Winston Churchill and the British Open Champion James Braid, needed to have a bit of an upgrade in their Swing Studio.
Current professional Simon Peaford contacted us after seeing the work we had installed at the Calllaway Custom fitting centre.
Wanting something pretty similar to Callaway we came up with a plan for a projection screen and side curtains for Simon.
This would make the space bigger for him and allow him to use a projector with his TrackMan system.
This is what the Studio looked like before we got there.
Installation of Screen and Curtaining.
The finished Studio
Martin Balfour Head Professional at Donnington Valley Golf Club had the Foresight Sports GC2 Launch Monitor. Wanting to make the most of his purchase Martin wanted to use it with a projector and screen.
Having a huge space in the shop, Martin invited us in to take a look and come up with a plan of what we could do and how it would look.
We suggested our Golf Simulator enclosure with Artificial Turf and a Pro Mat. We also put 2 Putting Cup Holes in as well.
Here is a before and after picture.
Also here is a little video of how we did it courtesy of MB Golf Shop.
