The Best Way To Come Up With Your Own Synthetic Practice Putting Green At Home

By Edward Simon


If you're someone who is into the game of golf, yet you feel that you lack some skills for you to be good with your game, then you might want to consider setting up a synthetic practice putting green in your home. Although there are lots of putting greens that you can purchase from any golfing store now, they're a bit pricey so spending for one isn't really very practical for the beginners.

The best thing that you could do is to come up with your very own synthetic putting green at home. You might think that the procedure is too complicated, but it is actually easy especially if you are someone who knows basic carpentry skills. So refer to the steps below as this can serve as your guide in creating your own practice putting green at home.

Connect The Boards

You'll have to have four pieces of 2" by 8" square boards to begin creating your putting green. Nail all four boards with each other and make sure that you choose a board that's made of good quality wood that's free from any imperfection. It's crucial that the board is durable since this is where you have to stand whenever you play your game. Nail the boards evenly and make sure that the top portion is smooth because this is where you'll place the carpet that is going to serve as the green.

Attach The Carpet

You could check out the golf supply stores in your area and see if they offer a synthetic carpet that you can use for your practice putting green. If your boards and frame are now strong enough, then put glue on the top part where the carpet will have to be attached. Apply some glue on the side of the carpet too so it'll fully fasten on the board. Place some weight on top of the carpet too and allow it to dry completely before you go on with the next step.

Create A Hole

The next step is to create a hole on your putting green, so make an area on the carpet where you want the hole to be located. After that, look for a plastic cup that has the same dimension with the hole and put the cup there. The cup will be where you will need to putt your ball into, so it should be located right in the middle of the frame.

Glue Synthetic Grass

Although you can just make use of the synthetic carpet for your practice putting green, you also have an option to glue some synthetic grass on it so that you will feel like you are playing in an actual golf course. So purchase synthetic grass from any golf store and then attach it right on top of the green carpet in your putting green. To give more stability to your putting green, nail some of the corners as soon as everything is secured.

So this is how you can make a synthetic practice putting green at home. As you could see, the process is just so easy and won't really take up a lot of time.
