Golf green in backyard

Requires mowing at a minimum of every other day. Good irrigation, weed control and drainage are all things you need to consider in the process. I looked into it, but I already have enough regular maintenance items on my list to add something like that. I decided when it's time, I'm just going to install a fake turf style of putting green.

From a putting perspective, I think you'd learn your greens pretty well and your make percentage would be higher on your green that wouldn't necessarily translate to the course. It would help with mechanics of putting but not necessarily speed and line reading. Just my $.02.

There is a reason everyone is installing synthetic these days.

The challenge is going to be, how do I maintain really thick grass at .15 inch cut height?
You'll need a Bermuda hybrid lawn to start. Do you already have this?

I bought a greens mower. You can find some nice used ones for under $1500. My problem is that I cut my yard with mine now and now I need another one if I want to have a putting green.

Zoysia. I use a John Deere 220B at 5/8”. Best thing about zoysia is now when everyone in the neighborhood is brown I’m still green. But right now I’m cutting with rotary. I get my mower adjusted and sharpened every year. Usually takes a few weeks because the guy is so busy. I guess I need to figure out where to host pictures so I can share. Maybe next spring.

Just Google image hosting and click the first link.

Or use Imgur.

I have a friend's new reel mower sitting in my shop. I wish someone would take it off my hands! He decided his lawn was too small for it.

Where you at and what kind?
