Impoved Technology Results In A Better Artificial Putting Green

There is little surprise that the artificial grass industry has steamed solidly ahead. With so many questions raised about the safety of the grass and its impact on the environment the incentive was strong to produce a product in which there were no doubts as to the quality and safety. The result has been a product that has become more natural looking and a far more versatile one than ever before.

In particular the sporting grasses have moved ahead strongly. This is very evident in the production of artificial putting greens. In the past these greens really looked like green carpets with very little about them making them comparable to a real green. That has changed enormously and it is getting increasingly difficult to tell the difference between a real green and a fake one.

This has been backed up by golf professionals who have made it known that they do their practice on artificial greens. This has then resulted in an increased demand for backyard putting greens as golfers have realised the amount of practice they could get in on their short game if they had their own surface to use whenever they wanted. The fact that the artificial green is as good as a championship surface is to the advantage of those who have taken the plunge.

Installing a backyard putting green will give you the opportunity to custom build your green. You can design it to look and act like one of the greens of your local course or you could replicate one of the more famous greens around the world. The choice will be up to you and your budget.

Although maintenance requirements will be greatly reduced compared to those that would be needed if a real grass green were installed, there will still be some tasks required to keep the green looking good and performing at its best. Brushing and raking and ensuring moss has not taken hold a just a few of the simple chores that might have to be done.

After that it should be a case of simply pulling out the putter and setting to work improving that handicap.
