DESIGNING AN ABOVE PAR ARTIFICIAL GRASS PUTTING GREEN AT HOME
What should you take into consideration when planning a putting green in your backyard? Well, that depends on whether you’re a leisure golfer or a professional golfer as the green will require a different level of play and stimp system than a hobbyist. They will typically require premium installation skills, so remember to choose an installation partner that has experience in creating the type of artificial putting green system you desire. So, let’s start with a simple question: what type of golfer are you?
The Four Differences Between Professional-Style and Recreational Putting Greens Recreational artificial turf putting greens are different from professional greens in a few keyways. Check out the four differences between professional and recreational level artificial grass putting greens.
#1: CHIPPING DISTANCE OF AN ARTIFICIAL GRASS PUTTING GREEN
Recreational artificial turf putting green: The chipping distance is much shorter on this type of green because there’s less sand and less cushion layer for the ball to grab. The result is a ball that bounces off of the green if you are chipping from too far away. Professional artificial turf putting green: The chipping distance on a professional style putting green can extend up to 50 or even 100 yards whereas a recreational green will mostly be used for practice immediately around the green.
#2 MAINTENANCE OF AN ARTIFICIAL GRASS PUTTING GREEN
Recreational putting green: Synthetic turf putting greens used for leisure are easier to maintain because the turf fibers are crimped (textured). There’s no routine maintenance to roll the turf since you can’t adjust the turf fiber on this type of system. Professional putting green: On professional-style greens, the turf will need to be rolled extensively before completing the system. You can do this by using a flat roller filled with water over the putting green surface. Ask your installation provider for the proper technique. Competitive players are usually more meticulous, and the green will endure more usage, so professional-level greens require more surface grooming, brushing, and leveling out of the infill layers over time. Additionally, more maintenance, rolling, and ball play on your putting green will create a tighter and smoother surface.
#3 STIMP OF AN ARTIFICIAL GRASS PUTTING GREEN
Recreational putting green: When it comes to speed, the average ball speed will likely be 8-11 stimp on a recreational putting green. Professional putting green: On professional-style greens, the stimp rating is likely to increase to 10-13.
#4 COST OF AN ARTIFICIAL GRASS PUTTING GREEN
Professional artificial putting greens often cost between 30-50% more than a typical recerational artificail lawn, basicall because of the fringes.
The amount of infill, labor, and overall detail on professional-style greens makes them more costly. Moreso expect to pay around 85.00 - 120.00 Per SQM this is fully supported with a complete installtion, inclusive of all infills... Golf Cups Poles & Flags usally are an extra charge.
