Looking for a good net and good full size hitting mat to use in the garage or back yard. Just want to know what y'all think would be the best to use and where to get them? Thanks

Don't buy a 4x4 mat. Buy a 4x5 or 4x6. I have a really nice 4x4 range quality mat and it is excellent quality but you hang off the edge with the driver. I will post where I got it later when I get to my other laptop. I was reasonably priced too.

Here you go: http://www.allturfmats.com/MonsterTee-Golf-Mats-s/36.htm

This place has very affordable mats in decent sizes.  I've got the 60x60" mat, and I love it.  It really reacts like grass when you take a 'divot'.  And, their shipping turnaround is awesome.  I ordered it one afternoon and it shipped the next day.

For nets, check out: http://gourock.com/golfnettingpanels.html

This is where I ordered my 10x10' net from.  Affordable and fast turnaround as well.

Those things really hold up?!  Their 13"x20" is only $7.50.  I've bought other mats that size at their "list price" price or so, and I've torn them all up within a week or two.  Right now I just have a huge roll of some crappy turf carpet from Home Depot that I chop off little 1'x2' rectangles of every week or two and use until I chop through them.  At least that way my $20 lasts longer than 1 week!  I'd be super into a mat that reacted nicer than the turn carpet but actually lasted a long time too!

It's held up so far.  I don't know for sure, but I think this company makes the spring crimped nylon mats that other companies sell online for $500.  They are located in Ringgold, Georgia, which is very close to Dalton, where virtually all carpet is made, so I'm pretty sure that I'm right.    I've only had it for a month or so, but I don't see it just falling apart all of a sudden.

I know this is pricey but the one I just threw out after a year didn't exactly make sense.

I got the net and mat, big $ but I bet I never need to buy another.

It is high quality you will not shoot holes in the net, the mat is very good and so large you can move around and not wear a spot.

The best part is the return feature, the ball comes back, no bending and searching.  One ball is all you need.

Okay I am pretty sure I have the 4x4 Durapro mat. I am going to see if the tee works in it. Here is the web site. Very good quality at this place and not a bad price for a 8 year warranty. http://www.dwquailgolf.com/mats_nets_mirrors.html

Damn that thing looks nice. Have you missed the net yet? If so what kind of damage did you do? I am going to save this for future possibilities.

The range I go to sells their used mats for $35.  They aren't in bad shape either.  They replace theirs every season.  If anyone is looking for a cheap mat they may want to inquire if their driving range has any for sale.

3W:  Callaway GBB II 12.5*, 5W:  Callaway Diablo 18* Neutral
3H:  Callaway Razr X, 4H:  Callaway Razr X

Nope I have not missed it.  In my shop the potential damage is limited.  In a house......

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      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?
