DIY | I build an indoor putting green with ADJUSTABLE slopes!

When I heard "proof of concept" I knew this was going to be a winner 🏆👏

[@jaychqpr97]

Fantastic work. The best thing is the sound it makes when you make a putt!

[@kevinhanchukTV]

Always satisfying

[@TraceWavosGaming]

had the thought you could add blocks under the frame, on the hole end to add an up hill slope to the holes! wonderful build mate

[@zpalladino]

Bro just drops an all time DIY video for a dope ass custom putting green & then rides off into the sunset never posting another build. I like to imagine that you started practicing on this ingenious build with the slope adjuster and became so good that you eventually got discovered at your local puttputt golf course by an alcoholic washed up caddie. He sees your potential and eventually gets you a shot at an amateur competition where you are a runaway success. 2 years and 1 masters later (which you won btw on a banked in putt off the left slope) and you can’t be stopped, yet you decide to Retire to bring us another putting green build with a built-in rollback contraption (pleaseeee). Your caddie is back and being hounded by the pros to come back but he is 12 months sober and in a great spot in his life so he politely declines. Life’s changed bc you built the first one so you owe us a 2nd. What a legend

[@kevinhanchukTV]

Crazy part is, that’s exactly what happened. I’ve been away too long, time to bring the people another build.

[@zpalladino]

@@kevinhanchukTV ask and ye shall receive!!! I actually drew up my own drawings last night after watching this video. Going to incorporate the roll back but also the sloped green feature from your build. One addition I think would be cool if you intend to use it when you have friends over is a hinged side rail that unlocks and swings open onto the green as another obstacle. Please tag me when you drop it!

[@jabutch11]

I know this post is late but for anyone actually wanting to build this… Instead of buying 2x4’s, buy 2x8’s or 2x10’s. You will be able to cut a straighter line and make 2x4’s out of them in case instead of regular bought 2x4’s that will bow and warp on you. Cheers.

At the start i was like this is gonna be terrible, but it turned out amazing, if i had a garage id defo build this

You killed it on this build. Thanks for the inspo!

[@kevinhanchukTV]

Thanks you! I use it often.

[@travisolesen1897]

By far one of the best homemade putting greens that I have seen yet. Love the hinges for the angle and the stain looks great. It is almost too nice to keep in the garage! Cheers, keep up the good work! Add a secondary camera on a tripod in the background next time, you can use to capture things you forgot and the time-lapse shots are always great. I hope to see another one of your projects soon.

Thanks Travis! Yes I am planning a follow up project very soon.

[@ngft2290]

this looks amazing, I'd be thrilled to have this. One thing I kept thinking of though, is raising the entire surface with 2' 4"s and having each cup roll the ball back if it goes it. Would be able to have a slight downslope funnel with a pvc pipe.

[@kevinhanchukTV]

Came out nice. The glue you would want to use is either contact cement (apply on the wood and the bottom of the turf let it get tacky before putting them together. Or the adhesive they use for commercial carpet tiles applied with a glue trowel. I’m gonna build one super excited

Really great project there! Looks fantastic! Nice to have the option to practice break or not. I’ve seen lots of guys build their own putting surface and a lot of them add sand to increase the speed of it.

Thanks Nathan, yes I have seen that as well. I’m pretty happy with the speed of this though. It is a nice balance to what the local courses offer.

[@LittleBU96]

Carry on the great work this gonna go big

[@GamerUniverse64]

I just bought a proputt systems 4x14 putting green. It works great, but it definitely doesn’t look as nice as yours does. You should look at patenting your slope adjustment setup and building and selling custom ones! You could do a video for each one you build... then the buyer would not only get a putting green at the end, but would also be able to go watch THEIR putting green get built!

[@kevinhanchukTV]

That’s a cool idea! I’ll definitely consider that.

[@drjeffholmes]

awesome idea I might steal. really curious to see how the wedge in side works to give you your slope

[@kevinhanchukTV]

Sounds good Jeff. The only thing I would do different is make 4 points of adjustment instead of two. Then you could have a left to right rolling break.

[@peterjlindley]

Great work. The only things I would do differently is I would have the board hinge on the other side as well for a different or a double break. Rather then cut the turf, make it bigger.

[@champspec]

Very nice work. Especially for a first attempt. You’re going to want to get some cup inserts to make those holes a bit smaller the more practice you get on there.

[@kevinhanchukTV]

I think these are regulation but a smaller insert would definitely make it a challenge.

[@alexandercolatosti2759]

Since the turf is glued down wouldn’t it stop the hinged sheets from lifting? How did you prevent this?

[@kevinhanchukTV]

I didn’t glue it 100%. Left a little room where the turf needs to lift a bit.

[@clints8888]

great job, didn’t see any down the line straight putts does it roll true? and where did you get the matt from

It rolls pretty true other than my garage floor not being level hah

[@kevinhanchukTV]

The turf was from a local shop but any premium putting green turf should work

[@kyleblackston7181]

How did you get the turf to stay in place? Did you glue it or nail?

[@kevinhanchukTV]

I would recommend a carpet glue. I didn’t use the correct stuff and I had parts lift a little bit. Had to go around with small nails and fix but with the thickness of the turf you can’t tell at all.

[@browner63]

well done man! how much did it cost to make? wood costs a fortune in NS right now

[@kevinhanchukTV]

Thanks! I know it’s very overpriced here too. Probably close to $300 from what I calculated.

[@clints8888]

well worth it

[@Eric-469]

You could cut/sand out little wooden wedges. The further you push them in, the more break you get.

[@Eric-469]

Nevermind. I wrote that before finishing the video lol. Well done.

[@kevinhanchukTV]

Took me a while to think of a simple way to adjust the break. It’s not perfect, I have a few ideas for improvements to the next one.

[@stuarttaylor163]

What thickness artificial grass did you use for this? Looking to design my own soon! Love the concept and the idea to add the sides on a hinge !

Probably about a half an inch thick I would guess

I need something i can easily order as i am not able to go on road excursion anytime soon.

That sounds awesome Todd. In my city here I called a company that does turf for lawns and stuff and they cut me off a section from a massive roll. Depending where you are located you may have a similar company available.

[@toddmichael81]

@@kevinhanchukTV you the man buddy. My question is what do we do if we need multiple sections. For example. I estimate the garage to be about 25 by 25 or so. I wouldn't think they have a roll that wide. Length is obv not an issue... but will the creases mess up the put or any clever ways you can think of to eliminate the creases? Since I have micro noc (network operations center) I'm buil9ng in the garage along with the big driver target and a few other goodies. I'm considering just doing the whole floor in turf so it looks SICK! when you walk in. But again, maybe not because I think it would be good to at least have a reasonable area of exposed slab for the noc and target
