Homemade course

[sgamerp]

So, I have made a basket(it's defiantly not regulation) But I had a PVC Pipe and my girlfriends uncle works in Heating and Cooling so he has these big Baskets to cover the fans. Buying some Chains and some S hooks was a little under 25 bucks, and my roommate may throw in for some more. I will be able to have about 2 to 3 good holes with the one basket is it something I should put on here? I am not sure if a lot of people would want to play seeing as it's a homemade basket and i won't really have tee pads, but just really wondering what the general thought is.


P.S. Pictures will be posted after this weekend.

you should post pictures and we should talk about it, and perhaps you could list it as a private course with a contact email if anybody wishes to play with you.

I would love to see pics of your homemade basket and welcome to the site

I don't recommend adding it as a private course unless you have 9 baskets.
I have 3 practice baskets in my yard, but don't call it a course.

the picture isn't the best but i took it with my camera phone.

it's two baskets at top and bottom, I'm actually going to add a little rail over the top and get some more chains and cut the ones i got down a little once i get some more time/ money to spend. But this works for now.

Also I have been part of the site for two years now just haven't used the forums much until now

that looks pretty cool for being homemade and under 50.00. Looks like Im driving to MI for some yard golf.

Anyone will be welcome to play, but it's not going to be the best thing on earth, it's mainly so my Roommate and I can get our putts a little better. I almost kicked my self the other day when I had two birdie chances at Fallasburg on 9 and 10 and missed two 30 ft putts to hitting the bottom of the pole.

I live right off the east beltline. It's going to take a bit of time to get everything where I want it before people start coming over (maybe a week or two) but save this thread and I'll let you know when it comes along.

 

[mabraddock]

how many holes are you going to put it sound like you re getting pretty adventurous..

 

[EduCatOR]

Any pics of the basket yet??? I'd like to check it out if you have any available.

 

[sgamerp]

The pic is on the first page of the tread. I am actually only going to have about enough space for two holes with one basket right now. I have some more area in which i can maybe make 1 or 2 more holes but right now it's just got a lot of rough I need to clean up. And my weed whip is getting tired about every 20 minutes. lol

Hey, I live near GR as well, and built my own basket last spring for about $35. I used a bike rim for the top, with 12 24" outer chains and 6 18" inner chains, with a pvc pipe as a center pole, a plastic tub i got for $1 at goodwill, and an office chair base.



It's flimsy though, I need to get a better center pole, and secure the chains in place (S-hooks slide around, duct tape doesn't hold them well enough)

I'd love to play your home course when it's done
