Want To Set Up A Real Putting Green In Your Yard? WATCH THIS!

[@KevinPGA]

Agree 100% I’ve managed golf courses my entire life. From the inside, the guy who pays the bills. To do it right: Water EVERY DAY Mow EVERY DAY Deep time aerate and topdress EVERY MONTH Stay on top of weeds CONSTANLY Stay on top of disease CONSTANLY Watch for invasion of poa annua CONSTANTLY, and even then it can’t be avoided. The cost of proper fertilizer and chemicals is ASTRONOMICAL. For folks that want to try it, I admire your courage, but question your judgement. 😃 Not knocking you guys at all, I love your channels and am learning a ton from you about how to properly maintain my lawn, at about 4”. 😃 Cheers Brothers! 👍

Maintenance and all the special TLC products is very time consuming and costly. JP speaking the exact truth not just to putting greens but low cut in general.

Yes I do agree, but for me it a labor of love. I have 3 greens 6 tee boxes and 4 fairways on my 13 year and have not putted yet. I work away from home and can not baby it but I love it.

That’s like when I built a backyard 40ft x 60ft ice rink for my kids to play hockey. My kids were under 8 years old and I can’t tell you how many nights I was watering the rink at 2am. I miss those days.

[@TheGreenerLawn]

You’ve gotta pay to play and work for excellence, for those passions we have. 💯

@@TheGreenerLawn just found your channel and I am glad I did. I grew up In the countryside two hours from north of Toronto. The farmer up the road sold his land and they built a golf course (late 1970’s). So I learnt to love golfing. Now as I volunteer at an retirement village (being a retired school teacher myself). I don’t live there but want to keep busy and help out people I knew beforehand. They have a 200ft by 60ft oval path that used to be a putting green back in the 80’s. But because it was not kept up it is just grass and common weeds. It has a banked height of 3-4 ft and the walking path is 6 ft wide (presently gravel) I will be looking to transform it back into a chip’n put green over the next two summers. I will be looking forward to more information from your videos, past & future, as to some steps to take. My volunteering is due to boredom and wanting to help. Plus older retirement folks know a lot about raised garden beds and what to grow, when and how. I think it will be an even trade. My initial budget will be 5K and my time. I will have use of many tools from the residents. It’s also my own cash. Am I crazy, yes. But I need a hobby and I can’t “Wrestle” with my athletes anymore. Good day sir.

[@TheGreenerLawn]

@@CoachTMAC once a coach always a helper of others… makes sense. It’s a process, and most people don’t have to take it to usga standards to have a some chipping / butting green. Depending on how much time and effort you want to dedicate, you could go as simply as mowing the existing grass down (with out level correcting) and playing it as it is, all the way to usga standards dig out of soil (18+ inches down), bringing in soil, and redoing the whole playing surface / grass type. I’m here to help ya, feel free to email for direct help [e-mail]

[@CoachTMAC]

@@TheGreenerLawn thanks. I will be meeting them in late March to create the plan. Snow would be gone for six more weeks, so expect an email. 👍👍

[@TheGreenerLawn]

Awesome! I can’t wait to help and see what you create for them!

Good Friday morning Trevor. Finally had a nice warm and Sunny day today. The birds were happy and still have the ghost lawn. How are things looking your way for the weekend and Happy Mothers Day to your wife and family this Sunday.

[@TheGreenerLawn]

I can attest to this!

[@perro_8688]

How about having a bentgrass on the lawn but mowing it a bit higher? Would that still be this painfull?

[@TheGreenerLawn]

Lower the more level and mowing, work etc. the longer you allow it to grow, this will lessen the issues faced, at about .75-1” is where everything becomes super tedious, but John is pushing this out to 3/32” is his goal of height.

[@ericbutler9865]

Great job Jeremy

Thx Eric! Much appreciated!

1001 at least right! 😂

I can attest to everything John said. His green is on another level from mine, but the principles are the same.

But still, it’s a lot of work and commitment! I can attest to this! For both of you! What’s your HOC?

[@JimmyLewisMows]

@@TheGreenerLawn mine is at .2” currently

[@andyslawncareandoutdooradv]

I thought about getting a green at one point.. but the time and effort to care for it is non existent at the moment. Maybe someday well down the line tho

Smart move Andy! Your keeping it real!

Golf greens take serious time/money Commitments. I’ll save the money for rounds of golf.

A backyard putting green to USGA standard is unnecessary. But if you got the time and money go for it.

[@TheGreenerLawn]

Lots of things are but people can do as they please, right? 🤷🏼‍♂️
