Build your own putting green (now with pictures!)

[Paul_Stewart]

As per earlier post, I've finally gotten round to taking some pictures of it. Now up to 72/100 as a best too.

This was how I did it.

I bought one of those modular astroturf indoor mats from 118golf.com which builds out to 8' x 4'. This cost less than £40.

I then had a same size 16" piece of plywood delivered and glued the astroturf pieces to it.

So now I have a solid putting green which I can lean up against the wall in my conservatory when not in use, but quickly lie down and use anytime I want.

The turf runs at about 8.5 on a stimp so it's pretty quick and I can put a book under one side of the board to make a breaking putt if I want.

Nah sold them to pay for the astroturf. Same with the 3/4 length net curtains. Who cares for all that poncey stuff when you can spend your money on golf?

To me "Location location location" means which course to play next.

If you leave it outside, even under cover it will warp.

make those putts even harder to read.

I'm sure if you keep leaving it out someone will take it.

Are there areas of special scientific interest in O.P.s back garden?
