Backyard Putting Greens – Build Up Your Short Game Fast

By GolfPuttingTips · Monday, August 31st, 2009


Any golfer’s dream would be to have a garden big enough to contain a full-sized golf course. The more pragmatic among us might dream of a nine-hole course, but even that is often the stuff of lottery dreams. There are clear geographical constraints to having a place to practice golf in your own garden, but these need not mean that you cannot hone your game in the comfort of your own back garden. In actual fact, a garden of moderate size can be perfect for these purposes.

Backyard Putting GreensOne way to get the best out of a garden when it comes to golfing practice is to get a backyard putting green installed. You can never practically practise driving in your garden unless you have a lot of land and even more patience – but a putting green allows you to play your short game until you are perfectly confident and ready to hit the course for real. The great thing about backyard putting greens is that they are enormously versatile and will give you every chance to hone the practice until it is perfect.

There is a wide variety of backyard putting greens available, and installation is getting easier as time goes on. A good backyard green with minimal installation – indeed, one you can install yourself no matter how skilled or otherwise you may be with tools – is not beyond the logistic capabilities nor the wallet of any dedicated golfer. Once installed, it can allow you to practise your putts exactly how you would like to be able to at a club course.

The range of backyard putting greens available to the dedicated player is something that will turn any amateur’s head. There are some which use real grass, but also many which use artificial turf to ape the behavior of a green that you would find at a professional course. There is after all only so much you can learn from putting on your office carpet – and the backyard putting green is designed to ensure you never need to do so again. Check the dimensions that your garden can reasonably support, and then see what you could get installed today.
