I would add some gravel at the bottom so water can be released from the pipe. great video very jealous!

[@SurprizedDaily]

very little if any water will get into the pipes....with the coupler on top where the rope's tied through to stretch the net, it'd have to be a sideways driving rain, which I doubt much water would ever find it's way in, if any at all....I need to build me a range like that here!

[@frankd1682]

Love the Vids! Your info is sometimes instructional, sometimes educational, but always entertaining! Thanks Matt!

[@ronharris1698]

Great! Mr. Short Game is now my neighbor. I had all of the tools you needed and the cement. Call me next time. Love ya neighbor and a big ole Georgia welcome, ya.

[@billbyrnes9505]

Y'all?

[@dewey24]

You crack me up! The boys looked thrilled to be helping dad!

[@jamescarter8421]

Children.. Good Ol' free labor.✌️⛳

[@redonsundays]

Just one idea. To help prevent some of that flexing you said you don't love, tie off the top of the pipes individually with tension to a nearby tree or ground stakes that are screwed in further away. Use tie wire to hold more tension. It will pull the pipes apart and prevent that flex, and also give you more stability if you get hit with a windstorm.

[@MrJohnnyb74]

The smile of satisfaction after your first ball hit the net made it worth watching. Love it!

[@shannonhiers3474]

Kid is literally taking out a spoon full of dirt digging that hole . Great design though, may start mine this weekend.

[@lindsayboakes8255]

Just made my own 10 x 10 net yesterday, (or 3metres square as we have to say in the UK). Now I’ve got net envy too. Great job.

[@pursuitofpar]

Good to have you in GA! Nice to have a fellow youtuber here in the Southeast. It seemed no one was doing KZbin in this area so I started a youtube channel! Glad to have you down here helping promote the great golf we have to offer!!! Love your content and keep up the great work!

[@chrisjeffers7300]

the reluctant teens are hilarious

[@garydavis8213]

The kids are still mad about moving to Ga. 😂

[@billbyrnes9505]

Millennials?

[@09Youba]

Nice family project Matt. Kids grow so fast. I hope you have them on the course again. Net is terrific.

[@craigvn1]

That is a great space in your backyard, could construct a green out there as well.

[@bobjoswick6075]

Just getting the kids to help in a major job. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Good luck at the new home.

[@colinkania283]

just started watching this dude and he’s actually a beauty

[@truecrimejungle]

hahaha same!

[@jeremycolston8383]

Great idea! Since I've freed up some more space in the yard recently, I think I'm gonna have make me one. Would be way better than my little portable net. Great video Matt.

[@cudagarage9549]

Great video. Great idea going higher so you can practice full wedges from a decent distance away. Can you post a link on what type of net you purchased an where? Keep it up!

[@GregMooreGooglePlus]

Great instruction and subscriber comments on how to install a practice net. Moving to GA. undoubtedly is a good business and family quality of life decision. Good for you Matt! We all enjoy your down to earth style of excellent golf instruction. Oh...and thanks for the bug and heat advisory!

[@Waka69520]

Kids putting in work for their goals! Great to see

[@Rich--J]

"...goes where ever it goes" LOL...great project and video Matt.

[@MrKeithaddis]

Thanks for the details on the net build. I just used you specs to build myself one in my back yard for practice. 15' wide x 20' tall. Love the content. Thanks again.

[@timbeaumont4292]

Inside? I can’t wait! Great stuff Matt

[@doug2993]

Great job on that net. Have more stuff with family, it’s encouraging to see teenagers working! Love ya too brother!

[@EvanFromJersey]

Yes GA Short Game has a great ring to it. It was cool to see your family for the first time.

[@mikematson7205]

Nice work! Put in a green next! Always love it when your helpers make it into the videos

[@GP-yc2it]

Secret to driving those pipes down... duct tape a hose to the top end, get on top of the ladder next to the pipe and turn the water on. Use the pipe as a water drill. I watched my neighbor dig a 50' deep well using pvc. Amazing!

[@redeagle9312]

Good point, Sir!!

[@shannonhiers3474]

Smart .

[@titan14baseball]

metal drill bit. hit a few holes in the base, no worry about the water. Cement in the pipe would give slightly more weight on it. interesting to see over time how the weight of the net effects the top of the posts.

[@PeterDulay]

Glad to see you landed safely. Nice backyard!!

[@after2am150]

Best Kids Ever! Great job raising them to be responsible adults.

[@ZaxDrumsandGolf]

That is an awesome practice space Matt!! Cool to see you got your kids involved!! I know your daughter plays but do your sons play golf too? Hope to be seeing some more course vlogs soon!!

[@kreature2277]

Whoa! Congrats on the move!! Love Georgia!!

[@BlueCollarBachelor]

Drill a weep hole at ground level. It’ll rust out eventually. Glad to have you in Georgia!

[@justinryan2064]

Ha ha great Vid mate, had to be your kids cos they reminded me of my kids when I ask them to help Dad 😂 Love the tips keep them coming

[@andrewnatt1448]

Brilliant, but so simple! Many thanks, great vid

[@williamherringshaw457]

Great job. Love it

[@glennwiebe5128]

Matt, you may need to add a second anchor to each pole to prevent them from collapsing inward. Loop a second rope through the t fitting at the top and down to the anchor top keep the weight of the net and the repetitive impacts from pulling the poles together. Having the second anchors further away from the pole base would provide greater resistance against said collapse.

[@craiglepine2826]

It’s about time u made this video. Thanks thou rllyy helped

[@johnwhitesides4033]

Welcome to the Southeast, Matt. Having made the trek from NoCal to NC many moons ago, I feel your pain. The heat and humidity are pretty brutal. On the plus side, plenty of rain to keep the golf courses lush. Wishing you many happy rounds.

[@markfriedrich954]

I like the thought process of putting the pole in first to let the water drain...clever!

[@markfriedrich954]

Welcome to the Right Coast...from VA!

[@Caddiesense]

Mr. Short Game is a SoCal guy. Who is this guy in Georgia? Love the clear instructions on this video!

[@jtp824]

Awesome net! Drill holes through the top of the poles and put eye bolts through them with the nuts on the inside. Then you have spots on the outside at the top for anchor lines to fight the net line that is squeezing the pole together.

[@jimmack6744]

Matt, a couple of suggestions 1. you need to put something on the threads of the tee so it doesn't cut the rope with wind, it could be a piece off hose. 2. if the rope is nylon it will grow and shrink greatly due to humidity, polyester or poly propylene not is affected as much. Great job!

[@redeagle9312]

Good point!

[@jealousy8520]

How deep are the threads? Feel like you’re stretching?

[@jimmack6744]

@@jealousy8520 It's the sharpness the thread can cut you.

[@999montyman]

Great home set up there Matt, I would need to add side nets for my game, just in case !

[@danbender8245]

Love it can't wait to do my own

[@bryanl8761]

Awesome story! so happy for you!

[@goofygolfer56]

Well, I was going to leave a comment on some construction tips and ideas, but I see you have plenty already! If it ever loosens-up, take advantage of those trees you have at each side - they look pretty strong and they grew there for a reason! Great vid bud!

[@medfloat5001]

You may want to add an eyelet at the top or 3/4 up the poles to attach multiple support lines for the wind. Great back yard ! Oh, citronella lamps or tiki torches in the corners may help with the bugs such as sand fleas, skeeters and horse flies.

[@rickt8798]

Mr Shortgame, Awesome net and easy build. Great area in your back yard, I’m building or setting mine up in my rear patio. It’s concrete and brick. Still in the stage of what is going to work best. It will be under my cabana.

[@lookylooish]

Cool new setup. You can also measure the distance between the bottom of the poles and tie a rope that length to the top of your nets Then use the ground anchors to pull the poles apart from the tops. That will eliminate the flexing inward of the poles. But awesome net brother

[@smuutheness]

I set this up except I used cables instead of ropes and I anchored the poles as well. Thanks for the idea.

[@dbgolf577]

I was sitting in my back yard grilling and thought 💭 I need a driving range lol this is perfect and nice set up 👍 Turned out great for yah !

[@arijoseph2282]

lol'd at the outtakes. keep it up Matt!

[@erikbacher7609]

That turned out good! Love the vids

[@markmatthews6839]

Matt, you are one likeable guy. Good stuff.

[@sarniasurfer]

Glad you put the net up Matt. It wouldn't be the same without the backyard videos. You might want to install some portable fans out there too. lol

[@glennwisse6271]

Great video. I would suggest a pole across the top to prevent bending. Many ways you could do it without interfering with your rope across the top. I’m inspired to build one now. 👍

[@vnhill1981]

Welcome to GA sir, I see you've already tried our new cologne called "Eau de Humidity"!!! Don't figure I have to tell you but if I had any advice for you it's carry at least three gloves to play with during a round.

[@spfpsu85]

vnhill1981 definitely 3 glove rotation or rain gloves work well too

[@jeffproehl295]

Nice. I laughed out loud 3 times. That looks great ! Mine was a soccer goal with a blue tarp and a moldy comforter. But I had to be close. Lol. Can’t wait for more videos

[@ginge5168]

Great net set up 👍🏻 we don’t have gardens that big where I live in the Uk I’ll scale mine down 👍🏻 looking forward to future vids, ⛳️🏌🏻‍♂️no need to worry about drainage just put some silicone in the hole at the top under neath where the rope runs 😉👍🏻

[@jbeezy126]

You must be proud to have such good kids that are willing to help you

[@Rohan-ne4pp]

Great set up Matt. Next job for that area can be you putting and chipping area. Love you puppies too, I have a black lab like yours

[@chrishurst1061]

Welcome to GA. Love your videos have helped me very much in my short game. Still shooting 90+ but not hiting behind ball as much

[@gregoryjames7976]

The large net it is great. Being able to practice in the shade is huge in the mid-atlantic heat. If you got severe thunderstorms coming through, they can have some very stiff winds. Keep an eye on your project. You may want to drop the net.

[@aaronconsaul6645]

Same 1 inch pipe at top, and possibly tie off to t he left and right to help support the two poles... Great set up

[@alexfeinstein585]

Great video! Video idea: how to getting the speeds of the putting green locked in. I am currently struggling with the speed of the putts I am hitting and it is getting very annoying. Great vid, might just have to make one at home!

[@andrewkozusko3063]

Concrete is porous so you dont need to worry about water building up in the pole. Great video and enjoy the content!

[@neilkorsgaard]

Hey Matt, I feel like I"m on a Georgia adventure with you. Haha. I appreciate the personal touches.

[@Mycustomhotwheels]

You should have way more subs man... always quality and a joy to watch/listen to. I tell all my golf buddies to get on the channel, and they listen after a chip in a few times hahahaha

[@NaySeld]

You can add wire or rope to the top of the polls and bring that wire/rope to a tree to straighten out the polls for more security

[@ilovepizza2731]

You’re the man!

[@keithhowes5692]

That is a sick back yard!

[@AMMcKellar]

Glad that you and your family safely made it to your new home. I hope that net works for you. Years ago(15) I made my own net set up in my back yard. Started out buying retail products and after the netting on the second one broke and golf balls were flying through the cedar pickets of my fence I investigated a better solution. I ended up locating a net maker for a commercial fishing company in I believe Washington State who made me a custom net to my specifications. I figured the marine nets were more durable in the Texas heat and humidity. I beat 200 balls a day in that net for 10 years without a tear. Tuck this info away for later. Also, quit practicing so much. Your swing is looking too good.

[@Stavtok]

Great job bruh. Very jealous of the net. You should tape out "Tigers Noughts and Crosses" layout on the net to practice your ball flights etc. Love it.

[@jakeacree511]

Looks good! I would like to do that sometime. I live south of ATL and itd be a good thing here!

[@Murf1802]

Your the best brother you did an excellent job look great!!!

[@afisguru26]

I would put a couple of long bolts though the bottom portion of the poles that are in the cement to give added stability. And several inches of pea grave in the bottom of the hole for drainage.l As for water gettin in the pole you could put a couple of weep hole for an water to drain out. Also use a wood block on threaded pipe when hammering to protect the threads. You have a very nice set up Sir.

[@tblazak0667]

Love this!!!

[@MrGibratan]

Great idea thanks for the tips

[@ericanderson8890]

Nice job. Great location. Try using a block of 2x4 to protect the end of the pipe, or anything else for that matter, when using a hammer

[@jameskent4453]

Solid as a pole in cement, liked that.

[@johndumontelle1304]

try moving your screw in tie down points further away and loop/knot at the top of the poles to help straighten them out. Living in Northern California I wish had the space for a large net like that. ALSO, you should check out another Georgian, How To with Doc, if you are thinking about doing your lawn.

[@Biglou1478]

Great job!

[@phildanley7285]

Glad to see you didn’t take out your wrist like you did on your SoCal net! Your instructions were much easier to follow this time too 😂. I did take a photo of your SoCal net and built a 9x10x10 enclosed net next to my garage. Being a 23 handicap I’ve needed the sides and top many times!

[@MrShortGame]

Forgot about the wrist thing. Yeah glad it's holding up.

[@polaroidwhite9037]

Nice work Matt....best of luck in GA

[@peterarmstrong3298]

Would love one of these nets however in England we only have fairly small gardens ( or yards as I think you guys over the pond call them). I'm very envious Matt.

[@bradfordcotta5925]

Ha, that's right Pete. Over here, "gardens" are where we grow vegetables or plants.

[@tsc6454]

Your videos are great. I don't have your kind of space. I bought a small net to hit into in my back yard ... First shot over the net over the house into the car window parked in front of my house!!! Epic fail!!! Thank God my neighbor has a great sense of humor

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

I built a hitting net and bought a nice golf mat and installed it in my garage many years ago and wore the thing out , it was great to hit balls all winter long , you know instead of a rope at the top how about two 90 degree elbows one on each one of your upright pipes and then a pipe horizontally to connect , no need for the rope , just a thought , thanks .

[@Solitonyc]

You should counter the weight of the nets and cross forces by tethering cables on opposing sides of the net from the pole to the ground. You can also tether additional cables via triangulation to keep the poles perfectly straight up. The pole on the left appear to be leaning, eventually that pole will give way.

[@flexman9775]

Awesome video!

[@micohjohnson2890]

You could drill holes in your pipe so that it drains water. Then you can put the concrete in first, and then set the pole in.

[@alexshmalex4962]

Great vid champ.

[@aramavakian]

Add support to your posts so you don’t have that bending. Get two more auger things that you bought and run a tight rope from top of posts to the ground like 4 or 5 feet to the right and left of each post and taught the rope. Just an idea for the bending not to get worse. Thanks for the great videos!!!

[@bruceritter4004]

I really enjoyed the video and would never be able to do that myself. Would also like to hear the story behind the move.

[@billbyrnes9505]

I believe there is a video on the move subject. Cheaper, friendlier, and a better environment, maybe?

[@codydunaway4716]

I’m from Kentucky..I visited Georgia last year and I loved it. It was middle of the summer. I have tried to convince my wife to move there, but she ain’t having it

[@renej.morales5609]

Welcome to the club bro!.. California to Georgia transplant here as well!..

[@prospetiva3d]

i miss the chickens! but wow that's a nice property you got there! perfect for a golf setup! great project o have the kids involved too.. to fix the bend in the pole, you can option 1, thread another pipe to the top ends of your pole (from tee to tee, which would stiffen the connection) option 2, just use another one of those auger, tie another rope to pull the posts back or option 3, just pull the top of the posts from the tree.

[@Scrunchychingo]

Where did you get your mat sir? I’m having trouble finding one of that size.

[@TheDitch45]

Dude your awesome..... great job hey....🤙😎

[@pcmoose]

Welcome to the East Coast. You need to come to NC and play Pinehurst with me. Would be awesome to have you here.

[@mr.walker8700]

When I go to range in the summer down here, it is early or late. The heat is too much for me to handle. The tree cover is going to be clutch. You'll definitely need to find a way to suppress mosquitoes. Well done young man...well done.

[@alangreaves8475]

All the best people come back to GA..
