How to make a Golf Hole for $20 / Sam Zurzolo's Golf Hole Maker
So I was in Adelaide ordering my golf flagpole and cup and cup from Drummond Golf at Enfield and we talked about some of the golf hole makers on the market which were about $350 which do an excellent job.
However my golf hole in my back yard is just for a bit of fun and a $350+ item to make 1 hole was a step to much for the finance minister considering we are doing it just for a bit of fun.
I was chatting to Sam Zurzolo and my other sponsored guys on our messenger chat (as we always are - greatest chat group in the history of messenger chats IMO) and Sam posted us his golf hole maker which cost him a shade under $20. I was at Bunnings at the time so the basic parts I purchased were..
1. PVC Pipe 100mm Slab Adaptor
www.bunnings.com.au/holman-10...
2. 25mm Replacement Rake Handle
www.bunnings.com.au/1500-x-25...
I cut 2 x 25mm holes at the top of the lip for the handle to go through. These holes were filed a bit and I also filed the end, to make it a bit sharper and cut into the ground a bit easier.
With a bit of downwards pressure and twisting at the same time the cut was rather easy. The plug of lawn come out really easily and although I don't show it in the video - you can return the plug into the ground if you just want to have a temporary hole.
Anyway thanks to Sam Zurzolo for the idea. You can see him on instagram as lawnstagram.
www.drummondgolf.com.au supplied the great quality David Golf cup and FlagPole. I paid $130 for the set up and $20 for delivery. Thanks Glenn!!
Nice work. Lawn is looking better all the time 👍
Good one Sam, next step for my DIY green, I have a plastic cup/flag on way, I like the use of everyday materials instead of expensive new tools.
In my 3" thick walled pvc pipe i have cut 3mm 5mm 7mm 3mm 5mm 7mm etc depth saw cuts around the bottom like a saw to grab/cut the soil as you spin the pipe.
great idea. I think if you roughed up the bottom part of that 100mm joiner, let's say with the wire cutters to make like a teeth, it would cut into the soil easiet. but great great idea. Btw, do you still have that lawn as tiftuf or another sort? how low you mow. I have tif but nowhere near as dense. 9mm. Cheers
I’d have pulled a hole in the gaza strip part of your lawn first and then replaced it with your healthy plug. Just to encourage it.
Great idea!!!! Nice cut. Could consider making an even larger hole and adding the 6 " conduit as a collar in case you ever needed to adjust the real cup. Nice work!
Cheers mate. A great cheap idea and I like your idea as well.
i like your golf hole maker i want to buy one

Thank you.
I need one for makeing donut holes 🕳
That is a great idea for cutting a hole. I did mine freehand and it did not turn out as well. I love the flag, is this something we could get in the US?
I got it from www.bannerbuzz.com.au You can order the same design I don’t mind at all.
@@lawnporn Hey Matt, I’m setting up a little mini golf strip at home for the Christmas break and followed this set up. Would you mind sending me the BannerBuzz template you used so I can get a proper LawnPorn flag for the hole? LP golf flags would make a great option for the official merch too!
@@sean75powell if you ask banner buzz to do a Lawnporn flag they’ll do the design as they have the template. One day I’ll get around to doing merch properly for sure this would be a nice edition.
@@lawnporn awesome, thanks so much!
Apparently they need the order ID to look it up on their system... sorry to be a pain. Are you able to look it for me when you get a chance?
What type of grass is that?
TifTuf couch
how can I get the 100mm PVC piece in the US?
Being in Australia I am not sure I am sorry.
100 mm is about 3 inches. Home improvement store should have one
4" is 102mm. Maybe you can get a 4" joiner. That outside diameter ideally should be 108 mm or 4.25". But an 1/8th of an inch either side of that should work.
John perry would be made... No roots lol
What the fuck 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😝
But it's fake sissy grass turf
Don't think so.
