WHAT IS A PUTTING GREEN USED FOR?
Putting is one of the most critical parts of your game as a golfer. For many novice golfers, it can represent up to fifty percent of shots. So this is the part of their game that most golfers choose to practice all the time, right?
Not so fast.
Most golfers will prefer to work on driving ranges and avoid putting all together. Are you guilty of this, too?
We know driving ranges are a lot of fun, and seeing those long, satisfying shots are great, but are your putts lacking that important element they need?
A top-quality putting green turf is comprised of low pile artificial grass allowing golf balls to roll true. It’s a little different from traditional turf because it’s not as thick as the artificial grass used for lawns, and it will help you better your short game.
ARE INDOOR PUTTING GREENS WORTH IT?
Artificial indoor golf putting greens are made of synthetic fibers that can be used instead of naturally growing grass because it is durable. Trying to maintain an organic grass putting green indoors would be a disaster, so artificial turf is the indoor king.
An indoor putting green will both improve the look of your Austin home and will, more importantly, give you the chance to practice your golf game in all seasons and weather, and the benefits of owning an indoor putting green exceed the expense substantially.

Your green can be customized based on your preferences — choose the style, contour, hole designs, features, and color that appeal to you the most.

The money saved by installing an indoor putting green is one of the biggest advantages — you will save on the time and money wasted on traveling, memberships, and caddy fees.
