How to Make Your Own Driving Range

posted in do it yourself, driving range, how to |

Recently I decided that I wanted to create a place in my house that I could hit golf balls in. The first thing that I needed was to find a place where I could swing a club freely. After searching for a little bit I settled on my attic. Now if I had a garage this would have probably been my first choice but the attic was sufficient for me.

Now that I had found the place to make the driving cage I now needed to find some netting that would work for what I need. After going to every store I could think of that would carry netting I came up empty handed. After this I decided to do a little searching on the Internet to see if I could find anything that would suit my needs. After doing a few searches with Google I came across a site called, www.gourock.com, and they had exactly what I was looking for. They sell netting panels which come in different sizes. I ended up ordering a 10 by 10 panel from them.

Now that I had the netting all I needed was a mat to hit off of. So I went to the local Wal-Mart to see what they had, and sure enough they had something that was cheap and would do the job. Once the panel came I hung it up in my attic and started hit balls. This is something that everyone could do it just requires the space and getting the materials. I like this idea better than buying one of those pop up nets because it allows you to form the netting how you want it.
