Golf hitting nets are probably the best way for a newbie to start training for golf. Taking into consideration the huge percentage of mistaken swings, not using a hitting net may result in early exhaustion and boredom. You won’t even stand a chance to taste the beauty of this elegant game. Besides, becoming member of a golf club costs quite a lot and you may not be able to get the most out of your membership if you can’t play and only want to learn. That’s why golf training aids such as driving and chipping nets or hitting cages are welcome and a must, if you want one day to become a good golf player. Of course you’ll still need to buy your irons, drivers and putters, but at least you’ll be able to train yourself each time you can find a spare half hour.
Where to Find Good Golf Hitting Nets
Golf hitting nets are just like those ordinary, modern tents, but adjusted a bit to fit this purpose. They usually have larger measures, such as seven by nine feet, in order to allow the beginner golf player some room for hitting the ball. These nets are made of water-resistant nylon, so you can be sure that they’d resist for a long time. Many of them feature a safety backstop for topped shots, which now you may think you don’t need, but which will help you a lot, trust me. If you are short on storage space, you can buy a collapsible golf hitting net model, like those Wilson practice nets which are durable and not expensive at all.
Another interesting choice is the Izzo Golf Giant Net, which has the following features (for further details, please click on the picture):
• Huge 12′ x 10′ hitting area
• Premium mesh netting engineered to be the STRONGEST in Golf
• Unique shape allows for use from Driver through Wedge
• Stores and travels well with nylon storage case
• Easy set up and take down
The IZZO Golf: Big Mouth Instant Range Net can also make a great choice for golf practicing everywhere:

Big Mouth Instant Range Net Large, portable and simple to use, the Big Mouth Instant Range Net is great for quick practice anywhere. Use at home, the weekend house, or at the practice range. The large hitting area folds to a 36″ circle for simple storage. The adjustable chipping target helps a golfer improve short-range accuracy.

- Quick set-up and tear down allows you to spend more time practicing
- Folds flat to 36 – Easy to store in compact areas

For a few extra dollars, the beginner golf player can acquire a high-quality practice golf set, including the driving net, chipping net and a driving mat. The driving net is so easy to setup that you won’t need more than a few minutes to have your training kit in place. I’ve read somewhere that American soldiers are using these nets in their leisure time, while serving in the army. Thanks to the very flexible fiberglass assembly poles, such golf hitting nets resist very well even in case of high winds.
If you only want to practice your chipping, you can buy only a chipping net. For more precision shots training, get one like the the Izzo Mini Mouth and have fun with your friends, even if you decide to train for golf in your own backyard.
