There are some obvious places you find a hitting area and some not so obvious ones. Post them here! 

This looks like a restaurant:

New backyard?

When you get bitten by the bug and want to practice, you find a way. How do you not admire the passion?

Not so much a net, probably rubber balls.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I have a mat in my office. We rent and the carpet is ghetto x100, old commercial carpet that was ready to be replaced when we moved in 14 years ago. It looks like hell but it's carpet over concrete with many defects and it's better than just about any artificial green I've used. So between that and the mat, I hit floppy balls against the partition, I have a pretty good practice space. I use the office to get my steps in too, I've paced 5 miles in here when it's too snowy to be outside.

This is a few years old so may have been discussed back then but given the thread topic, seems fitting to mention it:

Some guy documented his effort to build an in-home golf simulator:  https://mediocre.com/forum/topics/home-golf-simulator-buildout

I do this too. Once in a condo, the room was huge, like 25 foot ceilings and wasn't using a net, so ball hunting a lot, the security guy saw me on camera, thought I was using a real ball, showed him it was a foam job, let me play on, then the workout folks started filing in, game over. Need to buy one of those.

nothing new here, just a few extra touches after piecing remnants from storm damage to 10x10x10 cage.

I should also note, that I removed a section of the cross piece in front as if you hit it, it will shatter! (it still could, but it has a little bit of play in it to minimize that happening).golf_net_3_001.thumb.JPG.50d15eeb24f23c03db0292fa6645c452.JPG

I thought this was a basement, but is an indoor range.

Screen Shot 2017-03-21 at 1.57.22 PM.png

This is definitely not an indoor range, biggest mat, evah.

    • I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)

    • Day 103. Technique work on grip and flow. 
    • Day 54 (25 Jun 24) - played in the church men’s group 9-hole Superball scramble.  Our group finished 3 under could have easily been 6 under (had several birdie putts that lipped out).  Fun round with the crew.
