What Golf Stuff Did You Do Today?
Beautiful morning for golf in SW Ontario. 47F at tee-off and only going to warm up.

It keeps me active. I really do just enjoy hitting golf balls. I do other physical things through out the week, but this being a golf forum, that's all I post about on here.
Got my home-brew net set up...
...and hit some balls into it.
Works well, but I probably need to be a bit closer to it. A couple got over the top and I managed to slice one past its right side

Played the slowest round of golf that I can remember.. Just shy of 6 hours.. Will never play there again..
Did some extensions on my new wedges. Picked up some new grips for said wedges. I prefer all my wedges be the same length.

Hang a thick towel or two to protect the netting from getting damaged from continuous ball impacts.Got my home-brew net set up...

The towel(s) also sct as target.
Just a thought from own past diy netting expirience.
What about a painter's drop sheet?
Some THPing and checked some tracking #'s

Anything will work that will protect the netting from repeated ball impacts.
I didn't use anything on my first net. About the third week, i hit a driver, and ball went through a broken spot in the net. Luckily it didn't do any damage...i don't think. Never found the ball.
Always a good idea to check the impact area on a regular basis.
Learned to stamp ball markers out of copper blanks 
. Followed along with the guys in Florida!

Booked a tee time for tomorrow! Haven’t gotten out in a few weeks or even swung a club. Maybe all my bad habits have disappeared 
If I ever get consistent enough to hit one area repeatedly enough for that to become an issue: I'll do so
Thanks for the hint.Ah. See: I wouldn't be hitting into the net with a driver. I'll keep it to irons, and possibly woods.
That being said: Perhaps I will pick up a large, light-weight painter's drop cloth.
The other thing is: If you look, you'll notice I've left the bottom free. This allows the entire net to move when a ball strikes.

I am so not looking forward to that white stuff. And not just because of my new pastime.

Played 18
Played 18, cleaned the clubs.
Played with three of my regular group in our annual cross-country tournament. Couldn't have asked for nicer weather (peaked in the low 70s) and had a lot of fun hitting shots you would never try to hit during a regular round of golf. A lot of hitting at trees intentionally and hoping the ball gets through
