Are Backyard Golf Nets Safe?

Setting Up a Golf Net

When setting up your golf net, consider available space and hazards. Nets should be at least 10 feet wide, in case shots go wide. The farther the net is set up, the taller it should be. Typically, a seven-foot net suffices. Golf nets provide a safe place to practice without going to the range. They allow focus on technique without distraction of ball direction. Beginners and experienced golfers benefit from golf nets to improve skills, swing, and accuracy.

Practice with a Golf Net

With included baskets, the Spornia net allows practice of the short game from any angle. Its ball return system automatically feeds balls back to the player. Golf nets are a cost-effective way to practice without breaking the bank. A basic net allows practice of irons and woods without risking property damage. For most golfers, 50-60 balls a session at the range should be maximum.

Securing a Golf Cage

Dig holes no more than 2 feet to bury aluminum or PVC pipes. Attach baffle nets or tarps to posts with polyethylene rope. Secure with ties every 1 to 2 feet. Leave slack so balls don’t come back at you. Spectrum Golf carries various golf cages, enclosures, and frames. A basic 3/4-1" Golf Cage is low cost and easy to set up but has a smaller screen and limited customization with exposed piping. Beginners may not invest much in their first disc golf cage. Durability is crucial to consider. To secure clubs as checked baggage, lock them up. Also, use a combination of methods. Take your time and check them when arriving. Remove and pack the club head separately to ensure it doesn’t break.
