From Garage to Home Golf Simulator
Discover how Chris found a way to balance family and golf by installing a customized Trackman iO simulator in his garage and transforming his UK home into a year-round golf haven.
FOLLOW THE JOURNEY
Not long ago, Chris Djuric found himself in a bit of a pickle. The UK-based man was keen to develop a recently found passion for golf, but with a young family requiring his attention, he struggled to make time for it. So he got a Trackman home golf simulator in his garage and is playing better golf than ever before.
A drive to get better
Chris didn’t start playing golf until his mid-20s. Previously dedicated to football, rugby and other high-impact sports, he turned to golf to bond with his father and quickly fell in love with the game. It didn’t take long for his focus to shift toward trying to get better. That’s when he encountered Trackman.
“Within a year, I was kind of getting semi-decent about lessons to try and improve and I've gone from there. That's when I first came across Trackman and when I was introduced to those numbers it was like: ‘Oh, wow. This is a whole new world!”

Indoor Golf: Time was a factor
Soon after, Chris met his future wife and their shared love of golf became a core part of their relationship. They even golfed together on dates. Later, they had two small kids and playing golf became much more of a hassle. It was simply just too time-consuming.
FROM GARAGE TO
HOME GOLF HAVEN
Following a few years in London, where Chris didn’t get to play much golf, he decided to relocate north to the Midlands. When house hunting with the missus, a key thing for Chris was that their new home had a double garage. Chris had a plan to convert it into a home golf setup by installing a Trackman iO simulator. With this indoor golf setup at home, it was suddenly game on again!
“A round of golf is 4-5 hours, plus the journey time, getting there 30 minutes before and having a drink afterwards. The convenience of jumping in anytime for 30 minutes to hit balls was a huge thing for me. Luckily for me, the Trackman iO had just been released and we went for that model. It's enabled me to play golf again.”

World-class golf year-round
Before his garage was fitted with the Trackman iO simulator, Chris found practicing golf to be quite dull. But now he has loads of fun training and spending time playing world-class virtual golf courses on the stunning new Virtual Golf 3 graphics (pictured). He plays anytime he wants and because it’s indoor golf, he can play through the winter.
“I've seen a massive improvement in my short game. And that's just not something I would have practiced before. I used to hate practicing short game, whereas now Trackman’s gamification of practicing makes it fun.”

INDOOR GOLF = FAMILY FUN
Chris isn’t the only family member enjoying the new garage golf setup. His eldest child loves playing Trackman’s selection of exciting games — from Magic Pond to Scrapyard. Chris never imagined that his kids would also enjoy playing in the home golf simulator. Indoor golf has turned into fun for the whole family.
ONCE YOU GO TRACKMAN ...
Chris chose Trackman because of its leading reputation in the market and because it’s the golf simulator of choice for the world’s top golfers. He applauds his Trackman iO for providing accurate data that he instinctively knows he can trust, while being specifically designed for indoor golf.
"It’s changed my golf game"
"It's completely changed my golf game and it’s brought my handicap tumbling down. I’ve had the indoor golf simulator for six months and my handicap has come down by seven. Would I recommend someone get their own Trackman simulator for indoor golf? Yes, definitely!"
