A few breathable layers, a couple of pairs of stretch pants or shorts, and spikeless shoes cover most indoor golf needs. You do not need a full course wardrobe to feel dressed for the bay. Keeping a dedicated indoor golf outfit ready makes it easier to get a…
Short-throw projectors can be mounted close to the screen, which suits smaller rooms where a standard projector would need more distance to fill the image. Standard-throw units are often brighter for the price if space allows. Room depth is usually the deciding factor between the two.
Ambient light from windows or overhead fixtures can wash out a projected image if brightness is not matched to the room. Blackout curtains or dimmable lighting make a noticeable difference in image quality. A brighter projector is not always necessary if the room can be darkened instead.
