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.

      Congrats! Day 551, May 6, 2024 Played 18 holes with @DrizZzY hitting irons only and playing the white tees. No really "bad" shots, and a few really, really good ones. Finished on nine (they send us off 10 in May) with… a 197-yard 5I uphill and an 84-yard sand wedge to three feet.

      Ahh the old classic "nobody agrees with me so I don't want to talk about it anymore"

      @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.

      What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. You guys are so serious it kind of proves my point. Other sports make adjustments for  field conditions etc during lower level play. This isn’t life and death here, it’s sport. No need to keep arguing. I have my opinion and you have yours.

      Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
