My name is Mitch and I am new to the golf game! I began as a 25 handicap golfer and have managed to work my way down to 11 over the past 2 years. My goal is to make it to at least a single-figure handicap as soon as possible and possibly even lower!
My latest investment has been a SkyTrak golf simulator and launch monitor, so that i can improve my golf game at home and especially indoors during the winter months. On my channel you will find some helpful tips and tricks related to SkyTrak, as well as monitoring my progress out on the golf course. I will upload how to videos, comparison videos and also some all important course vlogs!
I hope you enjoy the content on my golf channel and I especially hope that you find some helpful information from my experiences along the way!

Great video..really helpful as about to build my own for the garden!

[@hcpgolf]

Great, I’m glad it helped 👍🏼

[@pmcg2592]

Cheers pal, gets the basics down nicely. Looking at building a closeable room for this in the garden.

[@hcpgolf]

Glad it’s helped. Sounds like a good plan, hope it works out for you! 🏌️‍♂️

[@RohanSGeorge]

Gonna try and use the same sort of cage to build a cricket batting cage ready for the season!

[@busterhoodstar4447]

I already like the video, because you're doing it yourself

[@paulmurphy7028]

Hi ..Great job thanks.. Been golfing for years and now going to purchase a simulator for a spare room . This looks good but I do want some sort of better impact screen which will do a better job of showing the projected image...Any ideas ? Again thank you ... Also any thought on the best simulator to purchase ? .Been doing research but would appreciate your opinion

[@hcpgolf]

Hi pal. Thanks for the comments. A simulator is an amazing purchase so go for it and enjoy. You can buy more expensive impact than screens that give a better projected image - check out Hybrid Me (another KZbin channel) and the guy there Phil sells some great screens Type 1 and Type 2 I think he calls them. He will sort you out with a good screen 👍🏼 in terms of a simulator, I can only really comment on the SkyTrak. SkyTrak is quality, accurate and relatively affordable. I haven’t tried many of the others. I believe Mevo+ is similar quality to SkyTrak maybe a little more expensive. Optishot is cheaper but not as good I don’t think. GC2 has a great reputation but a couple of grand more expensive. I have tried Trackman and GCQuad too but there are ridiculously priced 💰😂 I hope that helps in some way. Any other questions please ask 👍🏼

[@zoomer271]

Great build. If you were building in a garage, how much distance behind the archery baffle would you leave to allow for the 'billowing'? And do you attach the bottom of the baffle or leave it to soak up the impact?

[@hcpgolf]

Thanks Matt. I have actually now built a simulator room in my garage if you’d like to check out the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHqko3mLZ8qWl8U I can’t remember if I answer your question in the video or not. But I read to leave a minimum of 12inches (I think I actually left 16 inches in mine) and no I don’t attach the bottom to anything, I leave it to soak up the impact 👍🏼

[@IntrepidGolfers]

Great video and kudos on the scaffold netting I wouldn't have thought of that. What did you use for padding, I've sent a few balls into the neighbours and I'm a nervous wreak now 😳😳😳

[@hcpgolf]

I just doubled the scaffold netting over so it was a bit thicker and fortunately no balls made it into the neighbours garden!

[@tonywindle9929]

Hi great video, just in the process of getting the archery net, would you go for the standard or the extra strong for £18 more. Thanks keep safe

[@hcpgolf]

I just bought the standard one and it does a great job. Completely up to you for your piece if mind - for an extra £18 its not bad i guess 👍🏻

[@ESSBANJO]

very informative, cheers

[@hcpgolf]

Thanks, I’m glad it has helped 👍🏼

[@scottca9780]

Damn, I wish I'd thought of scaffold netting before I spent much more money on golf betting. That was a top tip.

[@adrianmcdonnell9085]

Great video !! Really useful . I have just finished my outdoor cage and pretty muck all the items you mentioned. Have you tried projecting on the archery screen? My mevo plus arrive tomorrow and I’m wondering if I could use that and buy a projector or would I need a proper screen ? Also my cage is 10ft x 10ft x 10ft , any ideas what projector ratio I should use? Thanks for any help you can

[@hcpgolf]

yes projecting onto the archery works well as long as you don’t have too much light. you can get a good enough image on an archery screen without buying a real impact screen. the quality is slightly less of course but you will still get a solid playing experience. with a 10x10x10 cage and screen, you will get a more ‘full’ screen with a 4:3 ratio. if you get a projector that has 1:1 ratio that will fill the whole impact screen. 16x9 ratio will leave you with a slim band of an image across the screen with gaps at the top and bottom. hope this helps 👍🏼

[@adrianmcdonnell9085]

Thanks again for the useful info!!!

[@alanconway540]

Great video. I've a similar area to work with in my garden. Any chance you could send me on the exact dimensions of meyal length, parts you ordered ect for your hitting cage from that metal store so i can order something similar?

[@hcpgolf]

Hi Alan. My metal frame is 2.2m high, 2.2m wide and 1.6m deep. Hope that helps 👍🏻

[@jockmongan]

Hi brilliant video. What thickness of poles did you order? Thanks

[@hcpgolf]

Thanks pal. I ordered the 26.9mm poles 👍🏼

[@Jack-nl7hz]

Thanks as always! Just started to build my own cage. Do you ever miss the cage or does it tend to catch the bad shots? Cheers!

[@hcpgolf]

😂 Thankfully i never missed the cage! As long as you aren't too far back you should be ok 🤞🏼👍🏻

[@Jack-nl7hz]

@@hcpgolf thanks again bud!

[@rachael1187]

Thinking of building this for my son. If it’s just a practice net (no plans for it to be simulator) could you use scaffolding net all the way round? And how go you secure the metal frame to the ground? (Probably grass)?

[@hcpgolf]

I wouldn’t use the scaffolding net to hit the ball directly into, it wouldn’t be strong enough. I used some large pegs to secure the frame to the ground 👍🏻

[@h.l.4723]

Could I display a projector screen with that archery net? Also, how is it holding up so far?

[@hcpgolf]

Yes you can! Just make sure you have quite a dark room and put a dark sheet just behind the archery net. You will get a pretty good image projected! The whole golf net is holding up great it is very durable. A couple of eyelets have come loose at the top of the archery net where I have repeatedly hit wedges, but I just use tarp clips there now and they work just as good 👍🏼

[@stevenufc1975]

This is a great video and I have followed your instruction and ordered all the parts. One question, I notice you dont have scaffold netting behind the archery baffle net, does that work OK or do you need scaffold net there too ? I need to get access through the back of mine so not having the scaffold net would be ideal. Thanks for a great video, have saved me a fortune !

[@hcpgolf]

I don't have scaffold netting at the back, not all the way down anyway. ome of it overlaps from the top and goes about half a meter down the back which works great to catch any wedge shots that sneak through the archery net at the top

[@stevenufc1975]

@@hcpgolf THank you

[@olilock-ward6376]

In the middle of building pretty much the exact same but would you recommend putting something round the tubes just incase you hit them and the ball flys back?

[@hcpgolf]

Yes definitely - foam padding is a popular option 👍🏼⛳️

[@JaesonHanNotJasonHan]

Did you get an impact screen? Can you use the archery netting as a screen?

[@hcpgolf]

Yes you can use the archery net as a screen 👍🏼 I did eventually buy an impact screen, you can see it in this video if you’re interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppbdeqxnas1jldE

[@pging8328]

thanks mate

[@hcpgolf]

Hope it helped 👍🏼⛳️

[@andrewferguson1013]

Hi, do you find the archery baffle netting quite noisey at impact? My standard golf netting developed holes after only 3 months, so took the (safety) plunge and recently purchased some 3mx3m archery baffle netting! Sure, no ball is getting through that bad boy, but heck, certainly produces a loud thud at impact!! BR Andrew

[@hcpgolf]

Hi Andrew. No, my archery baffle is super quiet, almost silent. I’m surprised yours is so loud!

[@andypragnell8099]

Just come across your vid, really helpful. However, struggling with dimensions. The piping you're using seems pretty small so was wondering how you secure the frame to the ground as it seems quite light?

[@hcpgolf]

Great, I am glad it has been helpful. The piping is only 3/4 inch diameter however they are pretty heavy duty and the frame isn’t light! However, I would recommend pegs to secure the frame into grass or maybe sandbags if it’s on concrete. When it is windy, the impact screen can act like a sail 😂⛵️ sandbags aren’t the prettiest so I’m sure there are some actual fixings that you could pick up to attach the poles securely and neatly to a hard floor.

[@andypragnell8099]

@@hcpgolf cool, thanks for the update, maybe u shaped metal tent pegs would do the trick. The 2 most expensive items are the frame which comes in at £92 & the baffle netting at £115, but a heck of a lot cheaper than buying one! Thanks

[@andrewmorphitis3089]

@@hcpgolf Hi. You mention the tube diameter as 3/4", do you mean 1" diameter (26.9mm). Is there any bowing on the two top horizontal sections? Thanks.

[@hcpgolf]

No it was the 3/4” poles. They are extremely sturdy so no bowing 👍🏼

[@jimf4754]

Doing something similar now

[@NEDwards63]

Can I ask where you sourced the frame corner clamps?

[@hcpgolf]

Also from The Metal Store 👍🏼⛳️

[@iam2musical]

Have you got the shopping list from the frame ? Would be handy to see exactly what you go to build that.

[@hcpgolf]

Do you have Instagram? I can send you a screenshot of my order from the Metal Store. It won’t let me post an image on here and it’s long complicated to type out!

[@iam2musical]

joshuakhutchinson - mate thanks

[@chewchewie1976]

Could you send it to me too please Mitch? Mine is cchewie1976. 👍

[@ryanbradley5712]

What length were you bungee cordes pal? I have bought the same 26.9mm tubing are they the 4” cordes? Cheers!

[@hcpgolf]

Yes mate just the 4” cords 👍🏼

[@ryanbradley5712]

Handicap Golf Cheers mate! Really good content on here pal especially for people like me not wanting to spend almost as much for an enclosure as the actual monitor! But probably be better quality then one you’d pay £1900 for! Keep up the good work pal!

[@rlevene]

Hey just curious, did you leave this outside and if so how well has it withstood the weather? Also do you have it held down to the ground at all?

[@hcpgolf]

Hi, yes i left it outside (through the summer months) and it withstood wind and a few rainy days. The rain discolours the screen as you can imagine. I held it down with some large arch-style pegs as strong wind can sometimes catch it and tip it over.

[@rlevene]

Thanks, looks really good and something I may try myself but also to leave out and use in winter

[@theincrediblebulk7040]

What metal tubing and connectors did u choose ?

[@hcpgolf]

I think I used the 1 inch tubing. Check this website out, it’s what I used to create mine gunghogolf.com/articles/diy-impact-screen-enclosure

[@markbedford6822]

Where was the scaffold netting from? Can't find it anywhere as cheap as that!

[@hcpgolf]

I bought it off eBay for £8.99 last year - I’ve just had a quick look on eBay and you’re right I can’t find any for the same price. It was called debris scaffold netting/windbreak shade crop protection. I bought 2m x 10m. Hope you manage to find some for a similar price!

[@hcpgolf]

This is 2m x 20m for £18.59? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2M-X-20M-BLACK-DEBRIS-NETTING-SCAFFOLD-SHEETING-GARDEN-SCREEN-CROP-WINDBREAK-/253001676911?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

[@Cappa-Gaming]

So anyone got advice on how to minimize noise with the practice net? Does this come down to the ball being used and how much "give" in the tension of the net there is?

[@hcpgolf]

If you use archery baffle netting like I do in this video, there is hardly any noise - it’s very quiet!

[@Cappa-Gaming]

@@hcpgolf Thank you for this!

[@tomsmith7943]

Hi mate. Great Vid. I’ve noticed that the metal store do a ‘ready to go golf frame’. It uses the same diameter poles you did and it is 3m x 3m x 3m. However the price is £180. This is a lot more than you paid. Any ideas why this may be? Cheers

[@hcpgolf]

Oh do they, that’s pretty cool. Mine wasn’t 3m deep like the one you’ve described there. Mine was only 3ft deep. That probably up’s the price a bit. Apart from that, I’m not too sure why it’s more expensive.

[@tomsmith7943]

@@hcpgolf no worries. Will look into it. What diameter is yours? Is it comfortably wide enough for you?

[@hcpgolf]

Mine is 2.4m wide and yes it’s plenty wide enough to hit into. If you have the space to go 3m wide though then do it 👍🏼

[@joeynaranjo5147]

How has this held up 2 years later?

[@hcpgolf]

I stopped using this net when I moved inside and created a simulator room about 1 year ago. However, I still have the net and it works absolutely fine 👍🏼

[@shmirginhymer1867]

I paid $150 for a 10' net. One summer of hitting balls into it, it's tearing from the seams. Unusable at this point.

[@hcpgolf]

Cheap nets never last which is one reason why I built this enclosure. It works fine to this day - archery baffle netting is super durable 👍🏼

[@igolf906]

@@hcpgolf I figured $150 for a net was a reasonably good price. Considering Amazon or Walmart has some for $50-$60. I just want something that's durable.
