By the time you're done spending money on PVC, sand, and the appropriate netting (double up on the impact area!), you might as well spend the $80 CAD to buy a hitting net.

For the nets, I know Canadian Tire carries them (6x8, I think).

And for mats, check eBay. I'm pretty sure I've seen 'em for ~40 USD.

Re: Building your own golf...

You should be able to get a decent net around for around $80 U.S. That isnt too bad and a mat should only run around 20.......
