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.

Bushnell’s Tour Hybrid Rangefinder brings GPS and laser power to your golf game

Looking for a new rangefinder? Check out this hybrid

Bushnell Golf Tour Rangefinder

One thing about rangefinders is that GPS lacks the precision of a laser, but laser-only devices don't give you the insight of GPS-based course mapping. While many rangefinders either use laser or GPS, the Tour Hybrid actually combines both to enhance precision. This device will simultaneously display lasered pin distance and GPS-provided front, center, and back yardages.
