Golf Simulator Projectors
Important:
If you don't have sufficient ceiling height for a medium to long throw projector,
then your head and/or body will block or interfere with the projected image.
In this case, use a short throw projector that can be mounted ahead of the player,
i.e. around 7 to 8ft from the screen
instead of 14ft plus from the screen
Recommended bright short throw golf simulator projectors
Short throw projectors are mounted 6 to 7.5 ft from the screen
Available on Amazon for around $900
Hi-end Laser short throw projector

Don't forget to order the projector ceiling mount too

How to calculate the distance your projector should be mounted from the screen
Projectors have a so called "Throw Distance ratio" rating
and you can use this to calculate the distance the projector is to be mounted from the screen in order to fill the screen with the projected image.
The basic formula is:
Throw distance ratio X width of screen in inches = distance from screen to projector lens
Examples:
The Optoma EH200ST short throw projector has a "Throw Distance ratio" of 0.5:1
If your screen is 12ft wide (=144 inches) then the distance the projector should be mounted is:
0.5 X 144 = 72 inches or 6ft
If your screen is 15ft wide (=180 inches) then the distance the projector should be mounted is:
0.5 X 180 = 90 inches or 7.5 ft
The ViewSonic medium throw projector has a "Throw Distance ratio" of 1.15:1 to 1.5:1
If your screen is 12ft wide (=144 inches) then the distance the projector should be mounted is:
1.15 X 144 = 165 inches or 13.8ft / or 1.5 X 144 = 216 inches or 18ft
If your screen is 15ft wide (=180 inches) then the distance the projector should be mounted is:
1.15 X 180 = 207 inches or 17.25ft / or 1.5 X 180 = 270 inches or 22 ft
Aspect ratios
Most projectors can do at least 16:9 aspect ratios these days
Screen size chart
Use this screen size calculator to calculate your desired screen size
Using 3 projectors a super curved wide screen can be obtained
Multiple screens
HD Resolution
HD 1920 x 1080 resolution meets most peoples demands for golf simulators
Ultra HD Resolution
If higher resolution is desired then a 4K projector would be required
4K Ultra HD projectors have a resolution of 3840 pixels × 2160 lines (8.3 megapixels, aspect ratio 16:9)
Purchase on Amazon
There are two types of 4K projectors available : Native 4K and 4K Enhanced
4K Enhanced projectors like the above Epson 5050UB are quite a bit more expensive than the standard HD projectors but still relatively affordable
True native 4K projectors
True native 4K projectors are very expensive
The above is the budget model from Sony with just 1500 Lumens
3000 Lumens Native 4K projectors cost serious money
"I particularly like the free shipping deal on the above projector from Amazon. I'm almost sold"

Both E6 and TGC software run at 4K levels
HDMI cables and splitter boxes
Most PC graphics cards will only have 1 HDMI output connector so you'll have to add an HDMI 1 in : 2 out splitter box in order to run both the PC monitor and the projector
Available on Amazon for around $20
You'll also need two HDMI cables. 1 short one to feed to PC monitor and 1 long one to feed the projector
Also available on Amazon for around $20
Connecting the projector to the PC

Note that the video shows a VGA cable connection but you will be using an HDMI cable.
