543.0. "Backyard Driving Net?" by CURIE::TATE (ESG Product Marketing - IESE) Thu Mar 09 1989 07:34

    Has anyone built their own backyard driving net?  I'm thinking about
    buying some electical conduit with all the right fittings, and netting,
    and putting together a net like the golf shops have for, I think,
    much less than I could buy one.  I've seen the small nets in the
    stores, the ones that are really only a 7x7 ft square piece of net,
    and think something could be built for less than they cost, and
    a better quality.  
    
    I'd appreciate any tips on how to build one, what materials you
    used, etc...
    
                                thanks,
                                Scott

543.2Try the K-MartDNEAST::STEVENS_JIMFri Mar 10 1989 11:5315
    At K-Mart last night, I saw a practice net for $39.95 !!
    
    
    Not big and fancy but it was ok..5 x 7 feet I think...
    
    
    
    I'm going back to get one today...
    
    And yes, although I am in Augusta, Maine, K-Mart is K-Mart..
