I have a 9 x 7 net that works well, but the nylon netting looks to me like it will eventually break and I will hit a ball through it. I have neighbors directly behind the net and dont want to put a ball through a window. I want to put some material in front of the actual netting, to take the brunt of the hit and to slow the wear and tear on the actual net. It needs to be about 7-8 feet long and about 4 feet wide. Any suggestions? Should I just get some more heavier duty netting and double it up?

thanks

Anything you hang in front of the netting will slow the ball sufficiently to prevent rapid wear of the net. You could double the netting, or hang any kind of material directly in front of it. Even a sheet/blanket would do the job.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Exactly what type of material would be best? You really think just a sheet would work? I could hang a piece of material about 4 x 4' where I hit 99% of the balls. I doesn't have to be as large as I initially stated.

A cloth tarp would be perfect. You may get a bit of a "pop" when the balls hit it, but it will take wear on the net out of the equation.

No good. I want to hit at night and my neighbors won't appreciate loud pops!

get a block of foam or use an old crappy pillow. they'd both be pretty quiet on impact.

i have a driving range set up behind my barn. a combination of a rug and moving blankets. its about 10 ft high and wide which allows me to stand back aways to hit shots. no neighbors near by if i miss

You could use a canvas tarp? I am not sure how it would sound but they are very durable.

Whats in the bag?

I've seen somebody use an old rug to stop/ slow down the ball. It worked very well as it didn't wear down and ites very effective

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
