Links Tradition Hole 'n One Backyard Flag
This is a pretty simple product. There is nothing revolutionary or innovative here, but it is still a good product because it is simple. With an average price of $25.00, this product is well within the budget of most golfers. The flag can be easily assembled in under a minute and installation of the cup takes about 5 – 10 minutes depending on the anal-ness of the installer. 2 minutes to dig and 3 – 8 minutes for actually installation and grooming. The most time is actually spent on lowering the mower deck and mowing around the hole to get the desired feel of actually hitting to a green on a golf course. That’s probably less total time than it will take to finish reading this review. On your mark… get set….. Go!

The Good
Realistic backyard practice hole
3-section design locks together to make an authentic 6.5-ft flagstick
Heavy-duty nylon flag
High-impact, regulation-sized cup
Flagstick may be used with or without cup
Can be installed in minutes

The Bad
The Flag does not lock together (i.e. be careful where you grab it.)
Be wary of stray dogs, may cause rusting.
No quick and easy installation. Requires shovels and other digging tools. A template would be nice, or where to buy one of those professional golf hole digging tools.
If your yard is like most yards across mid-Michigan, you can’t realistically putt at this hole.


The God’s Honest Truth
The truth depends greatly on your own point of view.
Is this product a regulation size hole and flagstick? Yes
Do you now have an actual Golf Hole at your house? Hell, No!
Unless your backyard is 150 yards of beautifully laid sod, and your "Hole’n One" backyard Flag is planted in a lush section of bent grass, you don’t have a Golf Hole in your backyard. You’ve just got one more item you’ve got to move every time you mow.
You might as well be hitting at tree. At least there’s a chance your ball could smack the tree and bounce back so you don’t have to walk so far.

Ratings

Fun Factor
4 out of 4
You’re hitting at an actual regulation sized flag in your own back yard. How sweet is that!

Value Factor
4 out of 4
$25 is a small price to pay for the hours of amusement and closest to the pin contests you will hopefully win at home.

Golf Benefit
3 out of 4
You are still not actually getting the effect that you get from hitting on an actual green, but it will help motivate you to practice your chipping more often.
