Spanish Point Golf Club

Spanish Point Golf Club situated next to Lahinch Co. Clare, Ireland gave us the opportunity to convert their new club house extension into a state-of-the-art Trackman Simulator Room and teaching facility. 

Read more about how we transformed a new build extension into one of the most spacious and premium finished rooms in the country.

PUTTING GREEN

We used 6m x 4.2m of space for this area. 4 putting cups (cored into the concrete floor), covered with SouthWest premium putting grass. We created a fringe around the edges (putting grass generally comes on a roll 4m wide) to avoid a join in the grass. This looks slick and the rounded edges give a nice natural look.

MAT

The driving mat is from SouthWest too. It stands 30mm deep. When the room was getting created, we advised the contractor the position for the mat to sit. Contractor knew to keep the mat area 24mm lower than finished floor level. Once the carpet was laid alongside the mat, they both sit at the same level which makes the job look complete. The mat is 2.3m wide x 1.3m front to back, this allows a left hander and a right hander to be able to stand on the mat and hit from the same spot. With the mat being 30mm tall is allows for a tee to stand anywhere. No vibrations, no miss reads on Trackman from the club bouncing on the mat, no elbow pains... this is simply the best hitting mat on the market.

BREAKFAST BAR 

This acts as a perfect solution to keep your computer and touch screen safe and built to allow your Trackman to sit underneath out of the way. Helps split up the room and lets golfers know to stay back out of the way when not hitting shots. 

TRACKMAN LETTERING

Made from a glossed acrylic plastic these signs make the room pop. They are sold with a stencil and complete with screws and plastic mounts for ease during fitting. 

 HD HITTING SCREEN

We only use Par2Pro HD 4K screens for our installs. Par2Pro rated as one of the most premium and technical screens in the world. We are lucky to be one of very few UK based distributors and carry several rolls at any time. This allows us to custom make your screen within days no matter what the size is. We feed a 12mm elastic rope through a specially made pocket at the bottom of the screen to stretch the screen into shape. No other screen sits better when it is fitted correctly. 

 PROJECTOR

We only fit with Panasonic grade projectors (unless it’s a short throw project). Panasonic no longer offer lamp lit projectors. They only use laser bulbs now which last so much longer and give a much crisper picture. The two main models are the PT-VMZ51 LCD (what’s used in this project), and the PT-VMZ61 LCD laser. Both very premium, the 51 model (5000 lumens, and the 61 model 6000 lumens). 

LEATHER PADS

Leather pads are the game changed. These finish out the room and add such a class exclusive feel to the place. We divide out the wall space evenly, so every pad is the exact same dimension. Most installers will use a standard 500x 500 pad and stick a small piece in to fill the last space, we customise every tile the same size to fit perfectly. Whilst these are expensive, they look great, help to reduce sound and help redirect a mis hit shot back towards the screen. 

Andrew and his team did a fantastic job from the initial conversation about the project right through to the finished room. The work was top class, quick and clean. Being able to now practise at home is a game changer especially with our weather!
