    Golf Simulator Cost: Three Real Builds, Itemized

    The Practice Bay receipt was missing a required component. Carl's Place DIY enclosure kit ships the impact screen, the nylon enclosure, ball bungees, zip ties and steel fittings, but not the pipes those fittings join — the product page states 'Pipes sold separately' and lists the pipe framing kit as optional. Our receipt carried only the $1,385.94 kit line, so the build was understated by the cost of framing it. A $467.95 line for Carl's pre-cut 1-inch EMT has been added, moving the Practice Bay all-in from $5,410 to $5,578, its cost per round by year three from $12.41 to $12.77, and its break-even from 19 months to 20. The same omission affected the Bushnell Launch Pro analysis ($6,415 to $6,883) and the Launch Pro vs GC3 comparison ($10,214 to $10,682), both corrected in the same pass. The Dedicated Room build was never affected — it specs Carl's complete Pro enclosure, which arrives framed.
