Golf and growth in the greenhouse
Searching for a way to keep playing golf and charge his batteries, Chad added a customized simulator setup with a Trackman iO to his garage.
It transformed his game and became a magnet for family and friends.
THE GREAT ESCAPE
For Chad in Tennessee, the game of golf has always been his escape, a space for him to find a sense of peace and rejuvenate. But with getting older and starting a family, that has been increasingly difficult to do. That was until he decided to get a home golf setup installed in his detached garage, known as ‘The Greenhouse’ ... and everything changed.
A FAMILY LEGACY
The property where the Adcocks live has been in his wife’s family for around 60 years, so they named the renovated detached garage ‘The Greenhouse’ as a homage to her family’s legacy — they had greenhouses on the property and owned a plant store.
“This is a place where her mom and her uncle grew up. This is where they had birthdays, holidays ... all the family events were here on this property. We enjoy it and hope to build those memories and remember them as well.”

Teeing up the right golf simulator
Chad wanted an elevated golf launch monitor that was optimized for the indoor setting, so following an extensive research process, he ended up going for the Trackman iO. He knew Trackman as a respected brand and that it provided a multitude of data points and golf courses.
“It was a no-brainer for me to go with Trackman. Trackman for me has always been synonymous with golf simulator. So that's where my research started. From there, I started looking at other brands and how I could possibly piece it together myself, but I kept going back to Trackman.”

A family foursome
Following installation, the Adcocks were delighted that their kids quickly embraced the entertainment games on Trackman — Scrapyard and the putting games are particularly popular. The kids are improving at golf and Chad reckons they can soon go experience a golf course as a family.
“They go out there any chance that they get and play the games. I love getting to see them swing the golf club and have fun. It's just so much more enjoyable doing an activity together rather than just gathering around the TV. As well as my kids able to learn new skills and learn about competition and what that brings to them.”

Good shots, better company
The Adcock’s new home golf setup has been a huge hit with their friends as well. Whether playing scrambles, tournaments or just hanging out hitting balls while watching sports on TV, the space is often a hive of activity. Even some friends who have never swung a club before are getting into it.
“Our friends have received it so well. They love coming over here. Having a golf simulator and my own space has been phenomenal. I get to step outside and play, in the morning or in the afternoon. Whenever I have time to go out there, I get to play. I'm probably playing more now than I ever have in my life.”

BIG GAINS IN SHORT GAME
Chad’s indoor golf setup has improved his golf game too. A fan of banging long drives, Chad found that his Trackman particularly helped him improve an aspect of his game he rarely focuses on. His short game!
“So valuable for us”
“However, the most rewarding aspect of it is what it brings to other people. Your friends, your family — the community it brings has just been so valuable for us.”
