Why a Synthetic Backyard Putting Green??


Why not a Natural Grass Green?


USGA advises not to build a putting green with real grass!!!


The three most important reasons are:

 

  • Initial Cost,

  • Disease Control,

  • Maintenance Issues

 
Building a Bermuda Grass Putting Green may sound like a golfer's dream come true, but the professionals at the USGA advise not to build with real turf.  Traditional grass greens are expensive to build and even more expensive to maintain - in addition, they can be overrun with disease in a weekend leaving you nothing.

 

Whether you are a homeowner or a commercial establishment --  a natural grass green requires constant oversight and so you need a greens superintendant to oversee any natural grass green. 

 

"We get a lot of calls about it and it drives us nuts," said Jim Snow, head of the US Golf Association's Greens Section."If they ask, we try to discourage them. Most people have no idea of how much maintenance is involved."    Want to know what else they said?  Read The Full USGA Article.
