How do you get your golf fix with a 4-5 month winter?

[Travis Robinson]

Well, I've been posting a few threads here so if you've read any of those then this is how I get my golf fix:

I built an indoor driving range(details at the bottom) and also purchased a golf launch monitor.

I've got an indoor putting green as well which well help my touch from the short game.  I lose a lot of touch during the winter so we'll see how this goes.

I'll be hitting balls, putting, and chipping every day!

So a lot of golf nets can cost 50 bucks at the cheapest.  I made one that costed 35 bucks, is very very durable, and very easy to set up and take down.

I have a nice big walkway, maybe 8 feet wide and 10 feet high.  I installed some screw hooks above the walkway and bought a heavy duty unrippable tarp that I think is used for covering cars or something as well as other things I'm assuming.

That's it.  It's great, although my ceiling is just tall enough so I have to make sure I don't overswing my clubs cuz otherwise I pop up and I'll take a nice chunk out of my ceiling.  I can't really use my driver or 4 wood either because the clubs are too long.

Everything else is great!

Here's a video of my net in action:

No need to comment on my swing lol, I've changed it quite a bit since then.

I went the easier route. I moved to Orlando.

$35 bucks, and it works great. Impressive. Even more impressive, you didn't take a divot out of your rug!

If you have a Dave & Busters near you, they have a golf simulator that you and your friends can play a round while eating, drinking, betting, fellowshipping, and have a great time. If not, hopefully there is something simular in the area. You will have the advantage of course and it should help your need for golf (I totally feel you Bro). Good luck!

I found a part time gig at an indoor golf simulator.  I am getting paid to hit balls.
