Our putting greens are manufactured with the most advanced synthetic
turfs available on the market today. They are made from both durable
UV-treated polypropylene and nylon fiber andspecifically
designed to simulate a natural grass putting surface. We offer you a
full line of quality turfs to select at the lowest prices available.
All turfs will expand and contract to some degree
depending on temperature conditions.
Nylon
putting greens are our most popular putting greens. The fibers have memory
and spring back to their original upright position after usage and
resist matting down. Nylon turfs are much denser than
polypropylene turfs and do not require sand filling. Nylon putting
greens do not require any maintenance after installation.
Polypropylene is an excellent long lasting turf that simulates
a natural putting surface. Polypropylene turfs require sand
fill. Sand is spread across the top of the surface and then brushed in
with a broom, to get between the fibers, so that the fibers stand up
straight. When you stroke the ball, it will roll on the tips of
the fibers, making for a true roll to the cup.The more sand you
add, the faster the putting green, the less you add, the slower the
putting green.Polypropylene turf is what you need if you
are hitting wedge shots from outside of 15 yards. If not, you
really don't need a sand-filled putting green.
Maintenance
Real
putting greens require mowing, watering, fertilizing, and
seeding. Synthetic putting greens are durable and do not
require the time consuming maintenance. The synthetic putting
greens are weather
resistant, hold up in direct sunlight, and can be used year round. Remember the secret to success in golf is practice, practice,
practice and that your short game makes up about 62% of your strokes in an average round
of golf. Our putting greens enable you to practice indoors or outdoors on a
realistic putting green that is virtually maintenance free.
Crushed limestone or limestone dust (1/4" minus) on top of
crushed rock (Class "A" rock) is the recommended foundation material for all of
our putting greens.
