How to build a backyard golf green?

admin — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:32:50 +0000

A website or step by step procedure on how to build a backyard golf green. Thanks.

we just put one in our backyard at our house in Kansas City and we are gonna put one in the backyard at our house in Hilton Head. Anyway, we got everything from www.putting-greens.com because my uncle who is on the PGA Tour has 3 in his yard and he got everything from there.
you order everything you need… you can get the kit but, we ended up needing more than what was in the kit so, we aren't going to get the kit when we do it at our other house.
you need:
the manual
easy cup cutter
practice flag/cup
the bentgrass seed. depending on where you live… you might want to get one in the bucket… if its hot/humid where you live.

there is different kinds of everything… the cutter and the flags. it doesn't matter which one you get.. depends on how much you want to spend etc.

once you get everything.. i would suggest starting on early friday or saturday morning. once everything is done and in place, you will have a putting green!!! make sure you water it in hot weather and that simple stuff. they are easy to maintain and you can put rocks around them to look pretty.. its all about what you want.

e-mail me if you have any other questions about them

good luck!!!!

What is the size of a typical golf green? And what is the best way to put one in your backyard?

admin — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 07:16:40 +0000

i have a 2.5 acre lot and i want to put in a golf green that i can chip and put on. Any good brands i should look into for GRASS/TURF?

Hi. I know a little on this subject… I am a super.. for a GC in MI. The first thing that you want to do is use a vegetation clear for the area that you want to build up You don't want everyday grass and weeds popping up… I say build up (mound) but you really dont have to. It does make chipping better though if there is an elevation change. Besides. You cant grow the necessary grass for a putting green on your typical soil…. there is way too much crap in it. ( for the lack of a better term) moisture and air will not correctly circulate in typical soil . First… Your question about size….. Completely up to the user for a personal app. However…Most greens are typically 250 to 400+ sq ft in size. Most dont need that large of a green in thier back yard because you may not be approaching from 200+ yards.
Now for the tech. stuff….. You NEED to get a good mixture of pure sand and clean black dirt. 50/50 mix for best results. Make sure that tou have atleast 6 to 8 inces of this mixture over what ever you choose to use as a base for the height of your green. Pack it firmly….. The seed that you need is a called Creeping Bent Grass. The brand is not too terribly important as long as it is pure. You can obtain this from most places that sell in seed, or turf. Seed generously…but no need to over do it. This is an extremely fine seed….so make sure that it isnt too terribly windy when you seed. Seed ONLY the area that you desire as a green. This grass will strangle other types of grass. It will also strangle itself if not cut often!! (atleast every 2 to 3 days when spring is in full swing and summer is here) Humidity really makes this stuff grow fast. There is much care needed in owning a green…so be certain that you are ready for the job. They also need Air and Sun . Do not put a green in the corner where tree cover is prominent. It will not grow… This grass needs access to a breeze. Air is a necessity. Also if you put it in the complete open,…….Sunlight although a necessity.. can really dry it out, so be prepared to water it every day. The collars are a little less demanding. Most are a simple mix of blue grasses. and are mowed a little longer than a green. Good luck.. feel free to email me personally if you have any questions on your project once you get into it. dcline300@yahoo.com

How are golf pros reading greens when they hold their putter in between their eyes?

admin — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 06:02:39 +0000

this technique i called plumb-bobbing
this method of green reading is supposed to show which way a putt breaks by hanging a putter in front of your eye, it works like a crosshair in a gunsight, for example. However, some pros use this technique in order to create a line front the spot they are aiming to their ball. Now they can pick a spot a few inches from the ball to aim at.
