Hitting off grass in backyard?


Recommended Posts

So I’ve got a net and small mat in my backyard, which is great, but I really want to work on wedges/high irons and getting them off grass. 
 

I have plenty of room for it and it’s mediocre grass anyway, but has anyone else done this? I guess my main question is how long does it take to repair/replace the divots?

I think Google would be your friend. You could ask the question based on your location and the type of grass.

Best to go to your local golf course and ask what type of grass they are using and the heal time.

@Ty Webb1  I do. Sand/dirt/seed mix to patch divots. Seed isnt a must if you have a rhyzomatous (spelling) lawn. And feed it and water it so it grows well. I use a turf type tall fescue that is rhyzomatous, sort of. Im in MN. Specific Type of grass depends on where live. Be careful though. Some grass, bermuda/zoysia can take over your lawn.

I hit in my backyard, but have used a mat just in the strike area. So tore up my lawn (St. Augustine grass) with my stance and rotation. Just dropped on a new mat to try. My post is here.

Thanks. And it's actually a big zoysia lawn, so it's not exactly a White House caliber lawn to begin with. But big and great for the kids, so I didn't have any big plans other than cutting it. anyway. Which made me consider hitting right off the grass. I'll probably do it.

I basically have my own driving range in the back yard.  I have to hit over my neighbors fence (well, more mine) into the woods.  🙂  Then my other neighbor likes to take his son over in the woods with his backpack to see how many he can find.  He brings back a bag full each time.  So I have my own Ball Picker!  HA! 

My grass comes back in about 2 weeks.  No real issues.
