Page Title: Disclaimers & Safety Warnings
The “No BS” Summary (Read This First)
We are enthusiasts, not structural engineers or PGA professionals.
- Golf is dangerous. If you shank a ball into a metal pole, it can bounce back and hit you. If you swing a driver in a low room, you can break your wrist on the ceiling. You are responsible for your own safety.
- We get paid. SimGolfLab is supported by readers. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. This keeps the “Lab” running.
- Check your work. When following our DIY guides, measure everything yourself. We are not responsible if you drill into a water pipe or if your enclosure falls down.
