Should I get my husband a practice net for xmas? If so, which one. If not, any other great ideas for an beginner/intermediate golfer?

If you were my wife, I would much rather have some paid in advance lessons instead of a practice net. The reason being, a PRO can get your hubby started in the right direction, to build a better swing. A practice net on the other hand will not help correct his swing flaws. It will only make them worse as he will not be able to see the ball flight. Plus if he has any swing flaws he will never get them figured out by hitting balls into a practice net.

See if you can find a local Teaching Pro and sign him up for some lessons. I bet he would love you for that!

Check this site out here. PGA OF AMERICA. You can locate a teaching Pro near your city.

If your husband hasn't got the opportunity or time to visit the range or play a round, then a golf net would be a great gift. But as Golfbum stated above, lessons would probably help him more. I'm in the middle of taking golf lessons and without a doubt it's the best money i've spent on golf so far. The fancy clubs and balls ain't worth much if your body doesn't know how to use them.

If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.

I think you are right. I know of a golf pro in our area. Thanks so much.

I am glad I could help you make that smart decision. If he takes some lessons and learns what he needs to do then he can get the net to practice into. Bad habits are hard to break!
