I am beginner golfer, only playing 3 months. I got this to save on going to the driving range constantly. I have only used it twice. I can say it is not only is it fun to be able to go out an hit anytime I want, i have probably saved over $60 in driving fees. 2 more times and the net will have paid for itself. The net and mat combo is great for beginners like me. I can hit until I drop.They are both well made, and heavier constructed that I thought.
It is well worth the cost to get something that is life time warrantied. Don't' save money on the cheaper ones. You won't regret it.
Welcome to the Brickyard Golf Club located in Macon, Georgia. Come experience the breathtaking beauty of our private, 18-hole championship course appealing to golf enthusiasts. Nature lovers and golf enthusiasts will find relaxation and refreshment at an affordable price.
As a beginning golfer, I got tired of driving to the range and paying every time I wanted to practice my swing. Plus, it was getting expensive - I've already spent over $200 on buckets of balls. I decided that it was time to get something that would allow me to practice when.I. wanted to.After researching a variety of options from DIY to products costing 2x-4x what the Rukket net cost, I purchased the Rukket Haak. Reviews were great and the price was right.I still had to buy a practice mat and some rubber tees but the entire setup cost me about what 15 trips to the driving range would and it's a lot more convenient.Since getting the net, I go out any time to practice new techniques or just get a workout. It's amazingly convenient.As for the product itself, it's an excellent value. It took about 15 minutes.
I have tried all the different mats but none of the really feel like hitting on grass. On top of that there are no good mats for hitting from the rough. I have a Rukknet and love it so i decided to try this mat as well.PROS:1. The Fairway mat allows your clubhead to divot without bouncing off the mat. It allows a shallow divot swing.
I have 3 different kinds of the high end mats that say that the divot like real grass. They are as stiff as range mats.
I stand on a range mat and have this in front of me so that i am level with this mat.2. The tight lie mat is realistic enough and really absorbs a lot of the force because of the rubber backing.3. The Rough mat is a good simulation of normal rough, not. Read reviews of product before purchase, and some people said they can hit driver through net.I bought it thinking about using those limited flight practice balls. When I got it I 'put it thru its paces' with real golf balls and was pleasantly surprised. Those people need to get a swing coach and go on tour or enter long drive competitions.
Perhaps they got a Monday morning or Friday afternoon model. All I know is I'm 6'1' 230lb can drive it 300yds and tried to hit it thru net with all I had and didn't get thru once. Maybe when the net ages, but for now no problems. I like the concept of an easily-stowed indoor practice putting green, especially as the Seattle weather is starting to get wet. My expectation was that I'd be able to roll it out in the long hallway in my house, get some practice putts in, then roll it back up, all the while keeping my wife unaffected.
(That's one key to a peaceful co-existence!)Bottom Line Up Front: It works as advertised.Once the mat has been smoothed out, it provides a reasonably true roll; the smaller-than-regulation cups add a challenge.The mat is lightweight and easy to deploy, and is likewise simple to roll back up and place in its shipping carton. Only glitch; it's a bit too wide in places to fit in the hallway! The mat does fit in other areas of our home, though that creates a traffic hazard if my wife and dog are home. One other minor downside.
This is a great product that is fun and useful to the avid golfer or to the person that just likes to spend an occasional afternoon on the golf course. The mat itself is very soft and feels like a quality piece. It measures 10 feet long and 2 feet wide and has the ability to make custom putting breaks and wedges.

It has visible ball traces so that every putt can be evaluated. This can be fun for the whole family with all of the games ideas included in the instructions. This is a durable, functional tool that is easy to set up and easy to roll up and put away when finished. For a hundred bucks, it is quite expensive.
I’m not totally sure where it was made, but I suspect China.
Greetings!I'm planning to build a 'backyard' golf course. My family has a holiday centre in southern Estonia, which has a plot of 50 000m2. As I'm an active golf player, I thought it would be a great practicing area for me.I have already bought 30kg seed from my acquintance, who is a greenkeeper.
Next step is designing 4 greens(each 200m2) + green on the island(50m2) and removing the sod(15cm). New soil will consist of 80% of sand and 20% of peat, I have already ordered 50 tons of sand. All this digging and soil replacement will be done by the hands of me and my 6 friends.A few questions occured when planning all this big work: How to mix sand and peat effectively?
How to shape the greens? Which green designs do you recommend? Where to buy golf mower cheaply?Any tips, thoughts are welcome!Edited March 7, 2016 by Zxc. Wow dude that's awesome but honestly none of that is needed from what I can see in the photo. Get a greens mower and Simply mow some grass as low as it can go say fringe height and make the green as big as you want. Get some cups and hole cutter and your good to go. Maintaining and building a real green cost about 2,500 dollars each or more depending on size and takes rocks crushed gravel layers of sand and drainage it's really not easy.
Artificial turf is also expensive and isn't weather resistant it also doesn't play like the real thing so it's not worth the cost. If you decide to make a sand base of 4 inches mixed with peat or whatever and plant the bentgrass,zoya or bermuda then it will take a 6 months to come in right and will be difficult to maintain your talking fungus,aeration and drainage with the only benefit of a putting surface that's slow vs fringe surface that will work as a great target green.Edited March 8, 2016 by Mike Boatright.

It is almost impossible to put on lawn like that. I already have the cups and hole cutter - i installed them last year in the same spots, where the greens will be built. My expenses at the moment:sand with transportation - 300€; peat - 70€(will use my own transport); 30kg of golf seed(different fescue types mixed) - free; starting fertilizer from the greenkeeper - free. We have many springs on our territory + former soviet union fish farming ponds - so the water is free:)To add, I hope that we can make some of the money back offering playing golf to our tourists.I consulted with my friend, who has studied gardening and is at the moment head greenkeeper in one of the best golf clubs of Estonia.
Her country house is next to our holiday centre complex, and in her opinion, I should replace only 15cm of soil - the ground contains mainly of sand.Excuse me for my bad English!:). You also need a sprayer and machine for top dressing, a roller maybe you can get a triplex for cutting the greens as well as everything else. Just lower the mowers.Already got them;).
I have tried it with different mowers. As our family has a holiday complex, that needs to look perfect all the spring-autumn. We have one cub cadet rider type mower, which minimum height is 30mm, one husqvarna mower(tractor) and several walk behind mowers. I tried to modify the height, but result wasn't good. All these have rotary mower, but golf green needs reel mower. I managed to find one old reel mower in our garage, but the minimum height was 12mm.
Read this The real question here is how do you plan to maintain these green. Being it's a vacation home I don't see how you could possibly be around often enough to give them proper care.I hope that maintaining won't be a problem, because it is not my vacation home.
Our family is currently living here. To be accurate, at the moment, I am studing in other city, but the distance is 70km and I am staying there every weekend + all the summer. It is a holiday centre complex, that people can use for birthday parties, wedding etc.
What is more, it has been awarded as one of the nicest homes in Estonia. Are artificial greens a possibility? I think they would need less maintenance but it might depend on how much traffic they are going to receive and what the winter conditions are like. It probably depends on what you see yourself getting out of the course - are you more interested in playing tee shots and wedges etc into the green, or is putting the major attraction?
Maybe having four holes with artificial / low maintenance target greens and then a separate dedicated grass putting surface might be an option. I looked at putting a putting green into my backyard but the maintenance for real grass just seemed like too much hassle, especially when an attack of rabbits or moles or other wildlife or disease can wreck it all overnight. I was going to go with an artificial surface until my wife explained that 'you might think that the backyard is some kind of outside space where you can go to spend time and enjoy yourself, but it isn't.'
Yes, I have thought about that version also. It seemed to be a good option, but the prices are pretty high. What is more, our entire plot has to be mowed no matter what, so taking care of golf greens adds a little bit variety to the work:). (To mow all the area, you have to sit on the tractor for approx.
8 hours).Winter temperatures vary a lot, this winter the coldest temperature was -26C(lasted only a day or to, and then average -15C). However, last winter the average temperature was between -5C and -10C.I'd like to use the course to train all elements of the game, so putting is also essential.
