How would
you install the green in your backyard?
Perhaps the easiest method is to simply mow the grass in the area
that you want to install your Tour Links green and place the platforms
directly on the grass. After a few days the grass under the platforms
will die and the green will settle into the landscape. If a less then
perfect soil setting is chosen a 1" base of crushed shell followed by a
1/2" of sand will create a very solid base for the platforms. Adding
material here and removing it there will create natural contour to your
new green. The panels are designed to flow over the existing or created
contours of the yard but on a flat surface the green will putt dead
straight.
Is it O.K. to leave the greens outside?
Absolutely. The material used in both the platforms and the
putting surface is designed to with stand the exterior elements. We
would recommend however that it is advisable to roll up the turf and
take it indoors if prolonged severe weather is forecasted.
Is the
green hard to assemble?
In most cases any green can be built in 15 minutes or less with
only a Phillips screwdriver. Larger greens will take a little more time
but still less time then hitting a large bucket of balls on the driving
range
Once I
have built the green can I move it to a different location?
Simply take the green apart and re-install it at a new location
of your choice.
Can you
change the contours?
Yes. By inserting the foam contour mats under the turf an
infinite number of breaks can be created and easily changed.
Why do
the cups move?
The cups are designed to move to allow for the expansion and
contraction of both the platforms and the carpet thus allowing for
perfect cup alignment in all weather conditions.
Is the
turf fast?
The Tour Links putting turf is designed to replicate Tour speed
conditions.
It
appears that the turf is faster in one direction, is that normal?
Just like the greens at your club our turf has grain and will
vary from putting into the grain and with the grain just like a natural
green
Why
would I ever purchase anything other then a Tour Links Personal Putting
green to improve my putting?
That is one question we honestly have no answer for. |
