OT: Where do you hit balls in the winter? (Golf)

Oh- so many bad replies jumped out at me…
On a serious note- the last couple years of 40-50 degree weather allowed so many options. Not sure where to go in the bad weather

My buddy and I play at pebble creek in colts neck. Our threshold is mid thirties, no wind, sun out.
Same here!!!
If conditions are met, 37, no wind and sun. “you guys are crazy”
Is ALWAYS met with “It was beautiful out there”😊
We do Rock Spring in West Orange
I have a half finished basement. I currently hit plastic and real golf balls into a golf net, but I am thinking about taking the plunge and purchasing a golf simulator. I have an eight foot drop ceiling in my basement but the actual ceiling is 10 foot high. I meeting with my contractor tomorrow to see the best way to raise the height of the drop ceilling in a cost effective manner. I then have to figure out the best forms of launch monitors, video cameras and screen enclosure within my budget.
The simulators today are insane.
As tech illiterate as I am, I could never do it justice by buying it.
A net with a good mat and ceiling height is all I need. (And don’t have)

Indoor simulator. BYOB a plus. Must be a great business based on crowds, but you definitely need serious cash to buy the latest and greatest tech.

I can't tell you how many times I hit the ceiling on a swing follow through despite my best efforts not to.
Sweet! I don't think I can sell my wife on the price tag, though.SIM IN A BOX® Play

If you start putting cost together component by component, you'll end up around the same price, if not significantly more.
I recently searched amazon for a small spotlight to highlight top of a Christmas tree. Results mostly came in the form of "disco ball spotlight".. but so many of the reviews were for golf simulator use. And, knowing tech a bit, I can suggest there has never been a better time to go DIY it... but the right space, of course, is the main issue.
Me also.
My living room ceiling bares the marks of my errant club head.
I tell my inquisitive wife the marks must be from the Christmas tree

It’s great for a public golf course.Been meaning to try Rock Spring for quite awhile. How is it these days?
The 3rd hole is one of the great par 3s in the entire state.
That’s 200 carry from the tips

Zap, my buddy wants you to know that 90% of outdoor winter golf is 50% mental
It was part of your club and a stand alone private before that. The views of the city skyline on that hole is spectacular too. I just joined an indoor golf place. Very good deal and the technology is crazy. It even gives you uneven lies.
You and me both. Every time I look at that thread title.
Well, being that I am 103 years old, I am trying to spend all my money before I drop. The more I drive into the ocean, the less money there is for my family to fight over. Doing them a favor.
I'm shocked he hasn't chimed in already. This is a soft ball (pun intended) for him.
Oh, now we know what the real cause of ocean levels rising is!
For avid golfers the terms “hitting balls” is the norm.
“Are you playing today?
Nope, I’m just gonna hit balls😊
I feel 20 degrees warmer the second i have a club and a cigar in my hands
it was more about the entirety of the question...there are other forums on the internet that would not equate the question to golf. lol
Just an absolute classic episode. You never know when you're going to need a marine biologist in a pinch.
Played PC for the 1st time in October. Liked it.
Pretty pedestrian round till I sank a 30' Birdie putt on the Par 3 18th.
Yeah, it was only my 5th time out last season. Ball striking and accuracy and were not the words of the day.
Did get a good amount of practice hitting out of the rough and greenside bunkers.😀
When I was a kid I signed up to caddie there because it was closest to home but ended up at to ECCC when I found out they paid $1 more per round.
Hard to imagine a better area Par 3 than #11 at Essex County.
Skytrak and Net in my basement.
On a side note, a bunch of years ago I played golf with a boss of mine. His locker was next to yours….his name was Dave W and he lived in West Orange.

This is all you need. They regularly go on sale refurbished for $700 on Amazon. Ignore those $10k all in one bundles. Then spend another $150-200 on a mat and net, pick out what software you want. GSpro is the best.
You can just buy the Skytrak unit and not their software? It works with any software? I am not familiar with the setup and all the intricacies. Any info you can add would be great, a few buddies and I have been talking about setting something up in one of our garages. Thanks!
I have a good net that reruns the ball to my feet…and a range quality mat. Good mat is better on the hands and wrists if you hit a lot of balls. I hit hundreds of balls every day…so it is worth it.
I don’t even use it for playing rounds of golf. Just use it as a driving range and the monitor gives me feedback since I’m hitting into a net that’s 8 feet away from me.
