Gather All The Necessary Tools
You will need something like a socket set, a ratchet, and a wrench. You will also need to borrow a friend’s drill if you don’t have one. You can find a socket set at any hardware store for home use.
When it comes to tools, take your time and choose your weapon wisely. The last thing you want to do is to injure yourself or your friend helping you. A pair of pliers will also be extremely useful for holding wire while you connect it to something. You can use wire cutters to cut the thin plastic insulation that covers the bare wire and then strip it with your fingers or teeth. Don’t forget to wear gloves while doing this. This step is essential for safety reasons.
Lay Out All The Materials
Before you start, mark all the places on the wall where you will drill. This will help you measure and cut the correct distance for each hole. Use a tape measure and a yard stick to make sure everything is positioned correctly. Cut the first hole at the top left of the wall and then mark where it stops and the second hole starts. You will then connect the second hole to the first one using a screwdriver. The final hole serves as the cap for the whole project—make sure you drill it last so you can finish the job without any problems.
Once the cap is in place, cover it with a couple of coats of good quality paint to make it look like new. Once the paint has dried, you can start attaching the golf club shaft to the wall using the included anchor clips. You will need to drill a pilot hole through the wall first then thread a screwdriver into the hole to make it easier to insert the anchor clips. Repeat this step at each attachment point and your golf club will be ready to use.
The whole process from start to finish should take you no more than an hour. If you want to do things the easy way then take an extra half hour and do everything by hand. This is not recommended, but it’s your choice and no one else’s. The last thing you want to do is finish the job and then realize you didn’t use a power tool to align the lumber or to fasten it together. This could result in you seriously injuring yourself.
Drill The Holes
Drilling the holes for the golf club is an essential step. To ensure everything goes smoothly, mark the spots on the wall where you will drill then use a tape measure to find the correct distance for each hole. Start with the first hole at the top left of the wall then move to the right and repeat the process for all the other holes. Once all the holes are drilled, cover them with a solid surface such as plaster or wood paneling then attach the included anchors to the wall. Use a ratchet to tighten the screws then turn them clockwise to remove the strain. Do this for each of the anchors then tighten them all the way then turn them counterclockwise to remove the strain. This is the recommended method for avoiding any accidents. If you are feeling extra adventurous then you can use a hammer and nails to attach the golf club shaft directly to the wall but take the time to drill pilot holes first to avoid any accidents.
Assemble And Test Everything
After you have attached all the golf club shafts to the wall, it’s time to test them and make sure they work properly. First, turn on the electricity at the breaker box then turn on the water spigot at the faucet to ensure both are working then test the light switches to make sure they work. If everything is OK, walk over to the barber chair and sit down then stand up and try it out. Then move to the couch and sit down again to make sure it still works properly. If everything is OK, you can finally use the club to play a round of golf. Enjoy!
