A synthetic putting green can be the best investment that any golfer can make. They are the perfect solution for those who can’t make it to a standard golf course on a daily basis. From the comfort of your own home you can practice your putting.

As a general rule these types of putting courses are designed for outdoor use because of their size alone. A few brands specialize with indoor models. Before you pick up either one decide which will best suit your needs.

I decided to go for an indoor model when I recently had a real blitz on improving my putting (I used this system to knock 7 shots off my putting score), and I found it very helpful to be able to practice at home.

Once you have decided on going with an indoor or an outdoor model, you then need to select the synthetic material the interests you the most. One of the most common types is the polypropylene turf. Not only do you get the benefit of it being like the regular course, but it can withstand most weather conditions as well. But if you want a turf that will help build your accuracy the nylon turf is the best. It will act like natural grass. While it is also weather resistant, the nylon also has a stronger fiber base and there is no maintenance on it, if it is installed according to directions.  For those that are environmentally conscious, most courses are designed from recycled materials.

To take this concept further, some companies will design an 18 hole mini golf course using their synthetic materials in your own backyard. While they are just putting pads with various distances, they can help you to improve your game, and give the family something they can do together in the backyard. Just remember these synthetic putting courses will take up a majority of your backyard, and you should meet with a consultant if this is the route you are choosing to go.

The pricing for the synthetic putting course can vary depending on the material you go with. On average the structure is anywhere from $1.25 per square foot and go as high as $10 per square foot. Many companies include their installation cost in this pricing, but to be certain you should check with a company you choose to go with so no hidden charges are assessed.

Something to consider is that not all brands are lead free. If you have small children and pets at your home you will want to verify with the dealer that they only use lead free material. Aside from that since these lawns are maintenance free, you don’t have to worry about the high level of care that a normal lawn has attached to it. This means you can have a remarkable lawn that is perfect for putting anytime of the year.

Having the chance to go outside and practice your swing without having a crowd around you can be a great thing (I loved it!) If you have young children, this can be a great way to bond with them and build up a love for the game of golf. Take the next step and get a synthetic putting course installed for your family today.

In conjunction with getting a synthetic putting green, you should also use the advice here to improve your putting >>

A synthetic putting green gives you the chance to improve your putting from the comfort of your own home. You may not be going to play in the PGA this year, but that fact doesn’t mean you aren’t going to need some practice. There is more to golf than just landing the ball on the green. If you are going to win, you need to have perfected your putt. That’s where these courses come in, from the convenience of your own home you can start to putt like a pro.

I really started working hard on my putting quite recently. I had spent a great deal of time already on my driving, but I realised that I was dropping too many shots on the greens. So looked around for some practice drills and guidance. I found a lot of things, but most of it was a little disorganised, and not much help. Then I found this a great course and it really helped. I shaved about 7 shots off my average score in only a couple of weeks, so it really helped.

But I have to say that it was installing my own synthic putting green that really helped the most.

Here was the synthetic putting green I used >>

Most of these synthetic putting courses are made with high end synthetic materials that feel like you are playing on the real thing. The materials are designed to give the same give as a normal blade of grass without all the maintenance that goes behind growing the real thing. That is one of the reason it reacts to your pitch and chip shots with remarkable accuracy. In fact, many pro golfers like Vijay Singh and Jim Furky both have discussed synthetic putting greens in a very positive manner.

Indoors or outdoors, your available space for the course is going to vary. That is why many companies offer you the ability to customer build the course that will work best for you. With variances in pricing from $1.25 per square foot on up to more than $10 per square foot, the possibility for creating the perfect course is financially in your reach. They can be installed from a single strip to an entire course in the back of your backyard (I discuss more on this in my other article on synthetic putting). In fact some companies are now even offering full mini golf courses for a person’s backyard to give you 18 holes to play with your family and practice your putting. Many companies do offer half courses as well.

Another plus about these courses is the fact you don’t have to care for them to get the benefit. Once they are installed you don’t have to mow water or feed the grass. The only thing you have to do is get out on it and improve your game. What else is great about these products is that they are completely weather safe. That means no matter how hot it gets, or even if there is rain or snow these products are designed to last.

I found that being able to practice my putting at home was a big help when I was taking these steps to improve my putting.

For the avid golfer that wants to install a synthetic putting course at home, there is something to take into consideration if you have pets or young children. Some brands do have lead in the product, be sure to ask the company you are going with which brands are lead free to ensure the safety of your entire family.

When it comes to improving your putt or just relaxing in the backyard with your family, a putting course can be the perfect idea. They are relatively inexpensive, and designed to help you improve your overall score. Contact your local dealer and begin enjoying the benefits that a synthetic putting course can have on your game.

Golf differs from many other sports in the fact that it is not (generally) a team sport, but is rather an individual battle of wills. In many ways it is a little Gladiatorial, and is a bit like the sports equivalents of chess, because it requires you to constantly adapt your strategies and try out new ways of playing.

Part of the game of golf that can have a major impact on your overall score is your short game. With your putter in your hand and a good eye you can do wonders to bring down your score whether you are playing on a synthetic putting surface, or a natural green.

We recognise the importance of this facet of the game, and have created this website to specialise in the short game particularly, in order to help you hone your game to new levels.
