I made my own net out of some scaffolding, its definitely not the prettiest net on here but it gets me making some swings.

 

Pretty or not, that thing is a product of love (for the game) and hard work.  Nice work

I started "building" my green.  It's not going to be fancy, but I am trying to get it as smooth as possible with soil and sand mixture.  Probably going to get some more sand over the weekend to get it smoother.  I'm not sure who is more excited... me or the kids.

I wouldn't want to dissuade you. By all means, give it a shot but I tried something similar years ago. Dug up a section of my backyard similar in size to what you have pictured. I screened the soil that was there, brought in additional top soil, mixed in sand to get better drainage, smoothed it and groomed it and even planted bentgrass seed. I also converted an old reel mower to cut what grew real low. I have an underground sprinkler system so it got plenty of water. Result? For awhile, maybe 2 months, it looked as good as a teeing area but could never really putt on it. Then the weeds quickly took over and that was that. It was a waste of time, money and a lot of effort.

Thanks for crushing my dreams!

It's Bermuda in Georgia, so it should fill in pretty well.  In all seriousness though, I'm hoping to convince the wife that I need to go ahead and put in a turf putting green... but don't tell her!

Kind of had to get creative these past couple months. But I've been still able to enjoy the game throughout, just differently. That's all that matters.

The local driving range sold some old Fiberbuilt mats for $50 each so I bought a couple. I am right handed and my son is left handed so we won't have to move the very heavy mats around. One of the hitting strips is pretty worn, but the other is in decent shape. I might just use the worn one for driver and the other for irons or maybe swap it out with my CGE strip.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
