Today, Carl’s Place, a custom indoor golf simulator company, has launched the world’s first curved-screen golf simulator designed for DIY installation. The exciting new launch of the Curved Golf Enclosure Kit with Impact Screen makes installation of custom-built, professional-grade curved simulators more attainable for golfers, homeowners, and business owners. This all-new indoor golf system provides an immersive, luxury simulator experience explicitly designed for do-it-yourself installation.

Inspired by customer feedback, Carl’s Place built the kit to place golfers right in the action for a true “on-course” feel without needing professional installation. The golf simulator expands the visual range of the impact screen into a panoramic view, enhancing depth and realism to provide an improved experience compared to flat-screen simulators. Most importantly, the kit has step-by-step instructions in a written manual and an easy-to-follow video for a straightforward installation process. The DIY nature of the Curved Golf Enclosure Kit installation allows golfers to use the simulator as soon as possible.

What are the 4 Majors in golf and where are they played?

A crowd watching a golf tournament.

The Super Bowl, the World Series, and the NBA Finals are all top games to determine the best of the best. When it comes to golf, there is more than one chance for players to show off their swing. From prizes to prestige, professionals battle it out across four tournaments for a chance to cement their name in golf history. What are the 4 Majors in golf? If you can't get enough of the sport and want to watch the pros battle each other throughout the season, these are the tournaments to tune into.
The Masters

The Masters is the first big tournament for golfers of the year. Known as the U.S. Masters, the Masters Tournament, or simply, the Masters, this tournament started in 1934, and is played the first week of April every year. Unlike other tournaments that rotate where they are played, you will always watch the pros battle for the prize in Augusta, Georgia, at the Augusta National Golf Club, which had just opened one year before in 1933.
Going for the green
The iconic green jacket has been the coveted prize since 1949, though winners do have to give it back one year from their win. To get hyped about the event, the Championship Dinner was introduced in 1952, and is held exclusively for past winners and board members.
Prizes and past winners
Winning this tournament is a life-changing event. With $2o million in total prizes for the players for the 2024 event, the $3.6 million that goes to the winner would set anyone up for a life of good times. That's just for winning once. Jack Nicklaus won six Masters between 1963 and 1986, giving him top honors. Tiger Woods sits in a close second with five wins from 1997 and his comeback in 2019. Nicklaus was the oldest Masters winner in 1986 at 46, and Woods was the youngest in 1997, at 21 years old.

Whispering Pines Golf Club

Texas has some of the best golf in the world. With over 900 courses spread across the state, Texas provides a wide variety of playing environments to suit your skill level. The state's vast size and diverse landscapes contribute to unique course designs, allowing players to experience everything from rolling hills in the Hill Country to the flat plains of West Texas and the coastal regions along the Gulf of Mexico.

One of the significant advantages of golfing in Texas is the ability to play year-round, thanks to its generally mild climate. While summers can be hot, the fall, winter, and spring seasons offer pleasant conditions for outdoor activities. Texas is home to several highly ranked golf courses, including Dallas National Golf Club, Whispering Pines Golf Club, and Austin Country Club, which are frequently listed among the best in the nation.
