    Someone rename this as a generic golf thread, cos even though it was only bumped for BG content I'm bout to get all up in it.

    Where the BG golfers at? Built a simulator room in my garage during quarantine. SkyTrak and TGC2019. Anyone else out there from this crowd?

    That's pretty sick. I play but if I break into the 80s I lose my mind, but I never play without beer.

    Never thought of a simulator, what's the total cost? We have a few places here to do that but I'd rather actually go to the course. They just opened last weekend but between work and the toddler I haven't played yet.

    Total cost was maybe $3,000-4,000 when I originally built it, but that was with a SkyTrak ($1,695 new) and I have since recently traded up to a GC2 ($4,600 used). Happened very quickly and wasn't planned.. but was hard to resist as SkyTraks are sold out from the retailer and a hot quarantine item on the third party market. Resold it for twice what I paid for it brand new and got the better GC2 for basically a straight trade. DIY'd the enclosure/screen/mats, which I recommend as the bundles are a total ripoff if you're at all handy. My frame is 1 inch EMT from home depot and a bunch of tarp fittings/etc modeled after this: https://www.carlofet.com/wp-content/...eet-9x12x5.pdf

    I'm an 11.7 IRL so not great, but being able to practice whenever I want is paying dividends. Only in my third year playing, hoping to end this year in single digits. And there's a lot of fun stuff within the simulator community, all kinds of tour events mirroring the actual tours/etc.

    Dennis McCarthy tested positive this morning after awaking with symptoms and withdrew from the Traveler's Championship.

    Bud Cauley withdrew as well. He was paired with McCarthy.

    Given his age and his back problems already, have to think it'll take some kinda medical science miracle for him to come back to a pro level golfing career after this

    My Mom just called me and was talking about it. She said she heard on the news he has injuries to both legs, a compound fracture to one leg, a shattered ankle and multiple lacerations. His career is over.

    Yeah, ESPN reporting the same re: compound fracture + shattered ankle. It's a bummer; definitely have to imagine his career is over when compounded with the back issues. Masters W was a decent way to go out at least.
