Are you a golfer? Have you ever dreamed of not having to drive all the way down to the local golf course to practice your short game? Do you realize the amount of practice that you can have simply putting the ball is going to have a dramatic effect on the amount of strokes you rack up during your next game? Yes, of course you know all of these things and of course you wish you could figure out how to create more time to practice your putting. One thing you must realize is that a lot of that time is actually commuting down to the course and getting everything ready to be out in public on the golf course with other people. What if we were to tell you that there was a way around all of these things, one that would allow you to practice your game at any time you want to, even in your pajamas! We are talking about a personal putting green in your back yard, and it is a lot more affordable and easy to manage than you ever might have guessed.
Personal putting greens are popular in Orange County. They are popular because they are a good use of yard space and that they actually pay for themselves over time because you will no longer need to water the grass or have it landscaped. This is simply because the putting green is made of artificial turf which has been specially created as putting green grass, and it is installed over an area specifically designed for putting greens. The difference in preparation is that there is not nearly as much compacted material installed under the turf than a typical installation. This is because you want the area to be harder and the grass tighter than typical, so that the ball will roll more naturally across it. If you were to try and putt a golf ball across regular artificial turf it would act like you were trying to roll it across long grass, but the putting green turf is cut as short as a typical putting green so as to mimic the natural roll. There may also be additional staking in order to keep the turf more taught than the usual installations, as this is important for the natural feel of a putting green.
Over time, you can expect the putting green you install to actually pay for itself. Because there is no upkeep necessary, you will no longer be paying for any landscaping charges for this area. You will also no longer have to pay for water for the area, as the artificial turf needs no water in order to continue to look good. It is literally the opposite of real grass, lacking all of the care that prevents you from spending quality time on the golf course. Now you can practice your game at any time of day, and save money while you do it. Give us a call when you want to find out more.
