Method of constructing an energy absorbing and golf ball returning golf net

A method of constructing a mesh golf net that returns balls hit into the net to a user, the method comprising;

• creating a forward section of the net, for returning the balls, forward of an upright portion of the net, the forward section of net being a starting point for the net's installation;
• utilizing return rods inserted into a sleeve of the net, where the return rods are attached to side supports and then run through the sleeve ending at the forward section of the net;
• incorporating the side supports to hold the net upright, the side supports rising to a top of the upright portion of the net and being substantially 10% longer than a height of the net;
• wherein the side supports have front legs, which rise less than 25% of a total height of the side supports;
• utilizing a rod that connects lower back portions of the side supports;
• incorporating a connecting apparatus on a top end of each side support and on a top of each of the front legs to hold a top of the net;
• routing the net from the forward section of the net, under the rod that connects the side supports, then wrapping the net back over the rod that connects the side supports, then pulling the net toward the starting point, then attaching the net to the connecting apparatus on the front legs of the side supports, and then raising the net and attaching the connecting apparatus to the top ends of the side supports;
• whereby the routing of the net from the forward section of the net, with the net held in place with the return rods, under and around the rod that connects the side supports, creates extra tension on the net, and added tension is created by the side supports being flexed outward in order to attach the top of the net, which is shorter than the side supports.
