Garage
Golf Mat

Had a little project yesterday.
Last week I was able to pickup a Fiberbuilt Manufacturing golf hitting strip and stance mat. I needed to make a frame that I could move around so I could still park the Duramax truck inside.
Measured the height difference between the mat and the hitting strip and picked up a sheet of 3/8 and 5/8 pressure treated plywood.
I had the supplier do the initial cuts to size as my little table saw struggles (read that I struggle) to cut full sheets.
Dragged my little table saw out of the shed and finished the framing for the hitting strip and the stance mat.
The pressure treated plywood always seems to be incredibly wet so I will let it dry out for a while before I try to paint the framing.
It will do some time outside in the more golf friendly weather.
The net is a relatively inexpensive one I thought I would try out and so far it seems to keep me from denting the garage door.

I started back to golf 3 years ago after not playing for over 25 years. Took some lessons in the off season last winter and felt like I needed something like this to get the time to make the lessons stick. Will see how it works out this off season.
