Your Own Putting Green

Every golfer worth his or her salt would give their eye teeth to be able to practice their putting whenever they felt like it. These days the chance to practice in your own backyard is becoming even more of a possibility with the accessibility of artificial grass putting greens.

The backyard putting green is being made possible for an increasing number of people because it is being made by an increasing number of synthetic grass manufacturers. The price is also becoming more affordable because of the increase in competition. The grass itself is very similar to the grass used on any major golf course green which is something that is virtually impossible to grow and maintain in the average backyard.

The most common material with which the artificial grass is made is nylon and this gives you a nice surface to use as a putting green. You will never have to worry about the grass growing too long to use for putting and won’t have to worry about the hassle of mowing, fertilizing or ensuring that pests don’t destroy the grass. All you will have to worry about is which hole to aim at first.

Just because you have a flat backyard doesn’t mean that the putting green has to be dead flat. It is possible to build up small humps and swales to make the putting green more of a realistic challenge giving you the opportunity to practice putting across and down the slope.

Now there should be little excuse for not perfecting the short game with the possibility of putting in as many hours as you need in the comfort of your own back yard.
