Hi folks, just joined Shot Talk.com .. I'm in the very beginning stages of building a backyard putting green. I'm open to advice from the more experienced..I'm going to post photos as I go along. I've been researching this idea for quite some time and have finally decided that it's something that I want to try and tackle. At this point, I'm looking at it as a hobby that I can be proud of so I don't mind doing the maintenance that's required. I also look at it as a learning experience, when it's over, I might be able to refer to myself as a knowlegeable greens keeper. I'm obviously a golf enthusiast and have been so since the age of 11 playing in Junior PGA tournaments sponsored by the local news paper (The Cleveland Plain Dealer) until my Senior year of High School ( I had an 8 handicap back then)..then..instead of chasing golf balls I started chasing girls and left the game for quite a few years....now I'm back to chasing golf balls. At age 38, I'm coming back stronger than ever and I know that it's all about the practice. No place better to start practicing than in your own backyard! ...chipping and putting is half the game!
I'm not allowed to post any photos yet because I don't have the required 15 posts in Shot Talk Forums....in due time I will then I'll get my photos up.
