Since I promised you all a picture here is the first one.  The net is the only thing that is fully setup.  The side barriers are hanging but haven't attached them all the way yet.  The TrueStrike mat is absent in the picture because the UPS dude apparently can't count.  He dropped off only 1 of the 2 packages which happened to be the net, and left the mat on his truck.  So it will hopefully be delivered tomorrow.  So I guess the project is only 1/3 of the way completed.  I will send the rest tomorrow when the whole thing is completely setup.

You have to "embed" the picture. Click on the picture icon in the toolbar at the top of the window and paste the link in there. Looks nice, but can't wait to see it all set up (and try it out on Easter!!)

Here is the complete setup.  So far everything works perfectly.  The NetReturn net brings the ball right back to you, assuming you make a good shot.  No need for extra balls unless I shank one into the side barrier, which my son did on his first shot. I'm glad I bought it because it probably would have put a hole in the dry wall.  Haven't used the tees yet, you can see the tee holder on the right side of the mat.  The TrueStrike definitely feels better than a traditional mat.  When my back is feeling better I will put it through its paces and report back more about it.  The only thing I didn't account for is how far I would need to stand back from the net when hitting all of my clubs.  Wife is going to lose more driveway space than I told her.  Oh well, I guess it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

I'm looking at the same thing, the Net Return because of its high ratings. How much did this whole setup cost?

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

I have had the Callaway 8ft Quad Net for about 5 years now... Very happy with it. Best bang for your buck IMO.

This does look like a possible less expensive alternative to the Net Return. When you use it how many balls do you set up with? The Net Return is very expensive but I like the feature that you can play just one ball.

I use a dozen or so at a time, but one could use as many as they want. Just toss the balls next to the hitting mat and hit them until your out (just like at the range). Then retrieve them if you want to hit more, I really don't find it inconvenient in any way

I don't know… How much does two acres of land cost where you live?

That's a sweet setup! How are you liking the TrueStrike now that your back has hopefully healed? Do you wear spikes when using it? I'm a big fan of practicing true to actual game conditions, and sometimes I find my spikes get a little too caught up in AstroTurf. Grass has that little bit of give or slide when hitting, so I was just wondering.

Does it have a rough option? Another question I could probably look up online, but figured I'd get an opinion from an actual user than the website.

Not that you were asking me, but I wear golf shoes whenever I practice... I've found it's important to keep things consistent

I have a net similar to this, where the poles travel diagonally and intercept each other in the centre of the top area  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GGVCXW/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza but it's difficult to put up, does anyone know of any videos or a guide on how to put it up easily ? I didn't find any for a similar net to this

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
