How to Build a Hillbilly Golf Game

Hillbilly Golf is a great way to relax on a summer day.

Hillbilly Golf is a great way to relax with friends and family during summer events. You will simply need a variety of PVC pipes, some golf balls, nylon string, a saw, a drill, and plenty of friends and food, and you'll be well on your way to hours of fun and excitement playing Hillbilly Golf.

Things You'll Need

• 12 PVC T-pipes
• 12 3/4-inch PVC elbows
• 4 10-foot-long, 3/4-inch PVC pipes
• 6 20-inch-long pieces of nylon string
• 6 golf balls
• Drill with a 1/4-inch drill bit
• Circular saw

Instructions

Top of Ladder

1. Cut off three 2-foot pieces of the 3/4-inch PVC pipe using the circular saw, and then cut off six 1-foot pieces of the 3/4-inch PVC pipe.

2. Press PVC elbows onto each end of one of the 2-foot sections of 3/4-inch PVC pipe.

3. Press a 1-foot piece of PVC pipe into the remaining connector on each elbow.

4. Press a PVC T-pipe onto the bottom of each of the foot-long 3/4-inch pieces of PVC pipe you just connected.

5. Press the ends of a 2-foot piece of PVC pipe into the middle section of the PVC T-pipes you just connected.

6. Press two more 1-foot pieces of 3/4-inch PVC pipe into the bottom of PVC T-pipes you installed in Step 4.

7. Press the ends of a 2-foot piece of PVC pipe into the middle section of the PVC T-pipes you just connected.

8. Press a 1-foot piece of PVC pipe into each of the PVC T-pipes you just connected.

Base of Ladder

1. Cut off five 2-foot pieces of 3/4-inch PVC pipe. Attach one PVC elbow to each end of one 2-foot piece of PVC pipe.

2. Attach one 2-foot piece of PVC pipe to each of the PVC elbows.

3. Attach one PVC T-pipe to each of the 2-foot-long 3/4-inch pieces of PVC pipe you just connected.

4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 in Section 2, and connect the 2-foot pieces of 3/4-inch PVC pipe to the PVC T-pipe pieces you connected in the previous step. Point the middle part of the PVC T-pipe pieces on the long sides of the base upward. Connect the final foot-long 3/4-inch PVC pipes of the resulting piece from section one to the PVC T-pipe pieces that are pointing upward.

5. Repeat Sections 1 and 2 to create another ladder. Ideally, half of the balls will be one color and the other half will be a different color, so that teams can easily be identified.

Throwing Balls

1. Drill a hole through the center of the six golf balls.

2. Run one of the 20-inch pieces of nylon string through two of the golf balls.

3. Tie a knot large enough to hold the balls on the string at each end.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 in Section 3 five more times.
