How Should You Store Golf Clubs and Accessories in a Simulator Room?
Published · Updated
Keep clubs and accessories close enough to reach, but outside the swing, the ball's path, and the walkways. Clubs need a protected rack, small items need one place they always go, and drinks stay away from the electronics. Good storage makes the room less cluttered without taking space from golf.
The rack and the driver
A slim wall rack looks efficient right up until it takes the few inches of side clearance a driver needs. Put the clubs past the swing arc or behind a protected boundary. The closest empty wall isn't automatically the right one.
Think about mishits too. A set of irons makes expensive side protection. Storage doesn't replace the enclosure or netting, and guests need to stay outside swing range. Carl's Place safety manual
The next club, without crossing the bay
Between shots, the next club should be easy to grab, and nobody should have to walk through the stance or straight behind someone who's hitting to get it.
A rack near the entrance to the bay keeps people out of the front of the room. Storage beside the screen pulls them in.
Tees, gloves, chargers
Tees, gloves, alignment sticks, spare balls, remotes, launch-monitor accessories, chargers, and adapters vanish fast in a dark simulator room. A shallow drawer, a small cabinet, or a few labeled bins will do. What you're after is a mat and a floor that stop collecting things.
A shelf for drinks
Once friends start coming over, drinks show up. Give them their own surface away from the PC, the launch monitor, the projector controls, the power strips, and the charging station.
Cleaning products need their own spot as well. A bottle that leaks in the cabinet with the cables and adapters is a mess nobody had to have.
Cabinets you can still open
Cabinets make a room look finished, but computers and network gear need airflow, and launch-monitor or projector connections sometimes need resetting or replacing.
Keep power, ports, filters, and cable routes reachable, and follow each device's ventilation requirements rather than enclosing it in a sealed cabinet. A tidy install is only pleasant to own if you can still get at the equipment.
Built-ins go in last
Before anything is fixed to a wall, check the hitting position with slow practice swings, sit in the seats, and walk the route to the door. A cabinet has done its job only if the room is easier to use once it's in.
