I can't find the "Ball on a string"

[Don223]

I have this practice setup which consists of a golf ball attached to a string/chord that is maybe 5 feet long and then this is attached to a bungee type stretchable chord that is another 4 or 5 feet long and then this is stuck in the ground with a foot long stake.

This works great for practice with your driver in the back yard but mine is looking worn after all these years.

I can't find this anymore. Farm & Fleet had a cheap ball on a cheap string but no bungee chord.

Does anyone still sell this? Where?

I don't know if its exactly the same thing, but I swear we have them where I work (MC Sports...not a shameless plug). If you possibly check the golf section of one near to you (since I see you are from Wisconsin as well), you might find one. I'm not certain that its part rope and part bungee though, I think its just a decent length of rope attached to a plastic ball and a stake on the other end. Your other option is possibly amazon or just googling for one (which might be more likely to find the exact type you are looking for.

I'll check tomorrow morning though, I have the lovely task of opening at 8:30 lol, I'll take a look and post another reply.

I think I found it. It's called 'Rope It Golf'. Their website says they started back in 1990 so I think I actually have one of their earlier versions.

I've been working with my boys (7 and 13) to get them into golf and this thing is great in my small backyard. Now I just need to get a mat so that I don't destroy my lawn with divots.

I just ordered one of their new ones, so if anyone is interested I can give a short review of it after I try it.
