A11N SPORTS Finchley Backyard Golf Chipping Game | Portable 9 or 6 Holes Yard Golf Course for Outdoor, Lawn, Beach, Park | Golf Gifts for Men Women

All due respect to the inventor of this game - looks like fun, product is well-thought out, good number of balls, scoreboard with marker (nice touch) ... but I'll be using these buckets to work on my short game.The set includes 9 baskets, 9 pole assemblies, 9 numbered flags, 9 wiffle balls, 9 line markers, and a scorecard. Everything for the game. And to work on your short game.When all four pieces of the pole are slid one onto the other, the bottom has a point - goes through the hole in the bottom center of the bucket - the pole is 47". Figure losing 3 to 4" into the ground.The buckets have those memory wires. Collapse flat, pop up when the wooden toggles are released - easy on the hands. A kid could do it no problem. Opened up, buckets are about 10-1/2" tall, 12" diameter.Flags are about 11" wide. There's a sleeve sewn into the end - slips onto the top of a pole. Not concerned about wind taking it off the pole. If things like that concern you, just use a clip on the bottom.The line markers are all ready for use ... two plastic domes joined by a rope, set two feet apart.So, again, probably a fun game ... but the short game calls. Here's how I'm going to redeploy this set.Step 1. Put a loop into the end of heavy twine or lightweight rope, secure it to your lay spot using a tent stake. March the remaining length of twine (long, long, long) out ten yards - knot in the twine - rinse and repeat every additional ten yards until you run out of yard (I got a lot fortunately).Step 2. With included scoreboard and marker in hand, and the buckets with rods in the bag, place the buckets at varying distances and angles (I've got obstructions like a garden, pine tree, burn barrel, etc. Take full advantage of your yard's diversity. Note the distances in yards by flag number using the first line of the scoreboard with the marker.Change your lay spot for topographical differences.There's snow on the ground right now. When I set it up in the yard, I'll assess whether to put some sand in the bottom to ensure the bucket doesn't move. Lower risk with the rod placement, but if left overnight, for example, might be a good idea. A 5-gallon bucket of sand on the placement walk is easy enough.After your session is done, use the scoreboard to note your accuracy when you go collecting balls.Take a pic, erase, move some buckets, note distances, launch ...I love this product.

The media could not be loaded. This game is set up for outside use only. Since it is winter we took it to a local church gym and set it up. We found that the flags are only made to go in the ground and there is no way of making them stand in the buckets on their own. I wish they would have included a small stand or sewn a little pocket inside each bucket to thread the flag into so they would stand indoors. I am pretty sure they could still stand with a bit of flag weight. This game can be set up on hills and uneven yards since the flags are meant to stick into the ground. The buckets do have numbers on them so we used them without flags and made a fun point system game out of it. The buckets are also a lot smaller than I thought they would be, which I guess adds to the challenge. It does NOT come with a chipping surface so keep that in mind when buying. The most surprising thing to me was that the 9 balls are the size of pickleballs, not golf balls. For kids learning how to aim or learning the feel and speed it is probably a good thing but for adults it felt silly. We ditched our wedges and ended up tossing them to see who could bounce them in. Lastly, the tee boxes are not as wide as they appear in the picture but work exactly how they appear in the picture. It also came with a black bag to put the game in to store but it is really hard to get everything in it but does all fit. It was fun though, and with imagination you can get several different games out of it, and we were able to get out of the snow and play a fun golf game.

The cups pop up and can be placed anywhere. The flags can only be placed in grass or dirt - if playing on cement or asphalt, the numbered flags will be fairly useless. You can use the supplied balls or any ball like them. Even really good golfers may not be great at this game, evening the playing field! Fun to setup and to play. Even easy to tear down.

The "A11N SPORTS Finchley Backyard Golf Chipping Game" is a fun addition to our lawn game collection. The parts feel cheaply made, but they have held up well over the last few months of use. We use our own clubs and its been a blast to play with the kids. The buckets collapse down for easy storage and the whole set doesn't take up much space in the garage. Overall I'd recommend if you're in the market for something other than cornhole and horseshoes to play in the yard.

I originally ordered this set thinking it was something else, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that our whole family can enjoy this together. It's super easy to assemble, durable (so far), and I LOVE that it has a case to hold it all. It's easy to take to the park, or wherever, and has been a hit with our kids friends, as well. Fun outdoor game that gets everyone involved!

Its ok until it gets windy.

Bucketgolf is the new go-to backyard game to play. The rules are simple, and its for anyone who has swung a golf club. The creative aspect of making your own course is one of the best parts of the game. I've played this like 10 times with a close group of friends, and we all can't get enough of this, and keep coming back. A very good golfer only has a minimal advantage when it comes to the game.

Great game for adults and kids, my family and I had a lot of fun playing. Perfect for the back yard or to take to the park, comes with a carrying case so it’s easy to transport and set up, it seems to be pretty durable. Great value for the money.
