It is almost finished!

Today we worked on laying the putting green and seaming it....The teens working with me are really taking a beating with this heat. Laying down the seaming tape, and cutting the seam.
It is in place and cut. The putting green has turned out better than I had expected.

Here is an over all view of the putting green...Tommorow we fill it and roll it...Then we golf!
If you would like a green installed leave a comment!

Putting Green Day 1 and 2

This week I finally started on the putting green...After many shape changes by the customer, we finally agreed on an hour-glass shape. The green measures 36 x 35. I have a few candid shots from our progress.
Day 1. Mark and "cut" shape the green with a bobcat. Day 1. Try a level out the area. We used a laser transit level, and the green has one high pin, and one low pin (hole) for the non-golfers. The way you are looking at it now, the high pin is on the right, and the low pin is on the left. This has been a challenge to construct.
Day 2. Starting to look like something

Day 2. Filling in the golf green with screenings. Tomorrow we will lay the green down, cut the pins (Holes) and infill....Stay tuned...

FORE!!!!

This week coming up I am installing a golf green! I will post pictures on the progress of the green, when I start. The green is going to resemble the 12th green at Augusta, without the bunker in the front, that might come later. The green is synthetic and is an All Pro Greens product. The customer is going to hit from 135 yards out to the green. This green is 1" thick and can receive shots from 150 yards away. If you are in need of a green just let me know.
