pkersj Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I've seen some versions of tailgate chipping games similar to cornhole, or bags, or other names depending on where you're from but I was wondering if anyone has had tried to build one themselves? I've seen some nice handmade versions on sites like etsy, but if its easy enough and cheaper I was thinking of taking a crack at making my own. Any tips on materials or plans? What works, what doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPattGolf Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I have thought about doing this as well. I might suggest using these for the balls so u can play in a variety of areas and not be as worried. https://www.golfgalaxy.com/p/up-down-the-floppy-thefloppy/thefloppy * Staff Professional* Driver: Stealth Plus+ (7.25*) - Fujikura Ventus Black 6X Tipped 1" 3 Wood: Stealth Plus+ (14.25*) - Fujikura Ventus Blue 7x Tipped 1" Driving Iron: P790 UDI 2 iron - HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 100 6.5 4 Iron: P790 - KBS C-Taper 130 X Irons (5-7) P7MC - KBS C-Taper 130 X Irons (8-P) P7MB - KBS C-Taper 130 X Wedges: MG3 Black 50.09 / 55.11 - KBS TOUR FLT 130 X 60* Wedge: High Toe Raw - KBS Tour 130 X Putter: Custom Black ER2 or Custom Black Del Monte Bag: FlexTech Stand Bag Glove: Tour Preferred Glove Ball: TP5X #11 RangeFinder: R1 Smart Rangefinder Instagram: @dpattgolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckymeyer Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Seems like this would be a fun and fairly easy project. Need some 2x4's for the frame and legs, maybe 1/2" MDF or plywood for the surface. Some netting for the holes and some sort of carpet or fake grass for the surface to kill the bounce. Keep us updated if you decide to make it!

excourse Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 We use empty plastic buckets set up in a group, each bucket has a point value from 1-5. First one to 25 wins. Usually set up outdoors at about 15 yds, I guess you could also use wiffle or foam balls if the surroundings dictate.

pkersj Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 https://img.etsystatic.com/il/09f3ce/1337448556/il_570xN.1337448556_3gap.jpg?version=0 Hopefully this link works, if it does this is one of set ups I've seen. I imagine just about any hole layout could be made. Hopefully it will make it on my list of summer projects that actually get done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Close2thepin Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I agree you would need the fake grass, especially if you go with the whiffle balls and not foam. Easiest would be created a box out of 2x4 with bolts through the legs to set up. Plywood screwed onto it with the fake grass glued on top. Should be able to build a set for about $50 max I would think. I debated making this as well, as something different to mess around with. 1)Taylormade Speedblade regular flex irons 2) Cobra Amp Cell 11.5 regular flex Driver 3)Right Handed 4) PA 5) 18 Handicap (but aiming for 15 by end of summer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhammer Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I looked into building something myself and ended up just buying 2 cheap fold up chipping nets. The place I bought them from threw in 6 of those indoor balls free when I bought the nets.

STUDque Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Something like this would be pretty cool for chipping. Just lessen the slope severity, widen the holes (so they touch), raise the sides, and voila! You could use a putting mat as a runway for bump and runs or just use a square piece of turf as an island to chip from. All of those changes would make it easier to travel with as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAwHzWJWkVc&feature=youtu.be Sent from carrier pigeon using MyGolfSpy In my Pisa, riding on a 3.5+ G410+ EXS 5W King F7 Hy i500 5-GW Equalizer 56/60 Heppler Ketsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkersj Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Update: It is in progress! I found a basic guide for design on reddit and am part way done. Board size is 24x40 inches with 9 in. diameter for the large hole and 6 in for the smaller ones. Hoping to complete it this weekend and will update again when I finish!

ThatKyle Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Looking forward to seeing the final product. Make sure to post up your build specs when you're done! I'm hoping to build one this summer too.
