The components arrived last Thursday. Installation scheduled next Monday.

The following pictures are for the aboutGolf folks to check the condition and quantity of the components.

The shipment arrived in two big boxes, plus a flat package, plus two metal pieces. This picture is after unpacking the two big boxes. The flat package is apparently a calibration board.

First close up are the "structural" components.

The two metal pieces are some kind of mounting frame?
3 ball joint like mounts.
2 piece of clamp like thingy to join/hold the ball-like structure on the metal piece?
The sand/rough mat.
Marked balls.
Tees.
The long wire looks like to connect the power supply and the lamp.

Sensors related

1 transformer like in metal housing (left back)
2 camera for ball tracking (middle back)
2 housing cases for the cameras? (right back)
The lamp housing, with bulb?
2 regular GE spot light bulb (MR16)?
2 cameras for the Video Trac (Downgraded already?)
Firewire card for PC
Simulator software CD

I installed the CD in a test computer. It's the game and driving range, with the included golf courses. I am not sure the Video Trac software is also inside. The version is 1.701.
