Practice Golf In Your Own Backyard
Posted in Uncategorized by Jay McGrath
My Friends and I stopped playing Thanksgiving day football and started playing backyard golf each year. It’s a lot easier on your body and typically no one gets hurt – other than pride.
My home course look like this:
- 3 Country Club Elite Real Feel Golf Mats are used as the tee-boxes
- We shoot to an artificial turf putting green (with four holes)
- Birdieball limited flight practice golf balls for our tee shots
Having three tee boxes and four holes we never play the same hole twice – in a nine hole match.
My Putting and chipping have improved tremendouslly the last few years. And it’s fun to see the kids out playing golf too.
You can imagine the pressure when the competition gets heated and there’s a knee knocking three foot putt to make.
You can start small with a golf mat and golf flag (or flags) to shoot to – we always make a competetive of it.
Below is some video of our first nigh golf tournament:
