HI

I am a novice gardner but am thinking of installing a putting green in
my garden. I want this to be natural as I hate the thought of
synthetic. Can anyone give me advice on replacing the current grass
etc...

Thanks

Denis

eggs is the golf course person.

I'd begin by asking you your location, because
that's going to play a big part in what turf type
would be best suited to the growing conditions
offered by your climate.

then we'd talk process.

How could you possibly do the prep work for a green, and not know what
kind of grass to plant? I don't know how anyone could look at a
green and think you could create one in your backyard and maintain
it. Bent grass, which is typically used, needs to be watered daily,
mowed with a special mower every couple days, treated with fungicide
in hot weather.... And the prep work and getting the exact right soil
mix is critical. Bottom line, unless you're prepared to spend a lot
of time and money, it ain't gonna work.

Synthetic is going to be a cash cow before long, not just for greens
either. Get your bobcat ready.
