The Alternative to a Rock Base Synthetic Putting Green
There are many steps involved in creating a synthetic putting green. Removal of existing grass and earth to a depth of 3-4 inches, checking for proper drainage, rock installation and compaction, and finally the installation of the putting turf itself. A bad sub-base equals a bad putting surface. There must be adequate room to make all this happen. What if you don’t have the adequate space needed in your yard for a successful installation? What if you don’t even have a yard at all? The pros at Forever Putting Greens have the answer. They have many alternatives to a rock base synthetic putting green to help you work on one of the most frustrating aspects of the game of golf, putting.
Tour Links Putting Green
With a Tour Links putting green the need for grass removal and a rock sub-base are eliminated. Tour Links is a system of interlocking rugged plastic panels that virtually go together like a puzzle. They can be installed over the existing ground surface of a backyard, deck, or even a rooftop. If more contour or “break” is needed, this can be achieved by using Tour Links contoured foam pad. Just place it on the ground first, and build the panels on top. It is simple to achieve a built-in custom look with Tour Links. First create a shape for your green. Then simply layout a pattern of Tour Links center panels and transfer the shape. Cut the shape out with a jigsaw and you are ready for turf. Or you could use any of Tour Links 6 different shaped panels to create a more traditional look.
There are many benefits to a Tour Links putting green. Whereas a rock base putting green is permanent, a Tour Links green can be moved to a different location if needed. Also if one wants to add a few extra holes to their green, it is possible with Tour Links. This can not be done with a rock base green. To view some examples of this alternative to a rock base synthetic putting green go to www.grassforever.com under the featured installs section.
Portable Putting Green
If you are looking for a smaller alternative to a rock base synthetic putting green, Forever Putting Greens has the solution. Their portable putting green can be rolled up and virtually moved from room to room. These greens are made out of the same high quality turf as a rock base green, but for a more affordable price. Each green comes with cups and flags and are excellent for practicing those short two to three foot putts. If you are in the way of the television, the wife will be happy, as you can pick it up and move it to another room.

Fremont Backyard Putting Greens
There is an old saying in golf, “drive for show, putt for dough”. Sure it feels good to bomb a drive 300 + yards but like the saying states, the money is made on the green with the putter. I have noticed that many amateur golfers don’t spend enough time working on their putting. I myself am guilty of this to. Most of my practice involves hitting bucket after bucket of balls and leaving only a few minutes putting on the practice green. There is no better way to improve the most critical aspect of scoring then by installing a synthetic putting green in your backyard. Here are a few of the Fremont backyard putting greens installed by the pros at Forever Putting Greens.
One of our Fremont synthetic nylon backyard putting green installs is located off of Mission Blvd. just east of Niles Canyon Road. The customer, who is an employee at Callippee golf course in Pleasanton, California just couldn’t find enough time in his day to work on his putting at the course, and felt a green in his backyard was the answer. The hard working and diligent installers at Forever Putting Greens worked with the customer to build a custom artificial putting green to his exact specifications including desired Stimp speed. This green was built using the standard method of a 3-4 inch crushed drain rock and decomposed granite sub-base. Once the sub-base was complete the customer was able to choose the shape of his green, as well as the location of the holes and amount of break to suit his level of putting. The finished product was amazing and will surely give the customer the practice needed to “putt for dough”.
Another artificial Fremont backyard putting green installed by Forever Putting Greens is also located off of Mission Blvd. just west of Interstate 680. The customer decided against the standard method of a rock sub-base and chose to build his green using Tourlinks panels instead. Tourlinks is a system of interconnecting plastic panels that snap together like a puzzle and are secured to one another using screws. This method is gaining popularity for a number of reasons. Due to the fact that no rock is needed, a Tourlinks green can be installed either inside or out. It can also make it possible to install an artificial putting green in areas where bringing in a rock sub-base just wouldn’t be feasible, such as a rooftop, cruise ship or deck. If a homeowner decides to move, the Tourlinks green can simply be taken apart and installed in a new location. Unlike a standard rock base green, the contours on a Tourlinks green can be changed by inserting foam mats under the panels until the desired break is achieved.
Whatever method you choose, the staff at Forever Putting Greens will work with you to make your putting green dreams come true. To see pictures of these above mentioned greens click here. Click here to get a free Putting Green Quote.

Pleasanton Backyard Putting Greens
Most homes in Pleasanton, CA have enough space to allow for a backyard putting green. Putting Greens are great additions to people’s yards because it will save you money in water usage, and you’ll turn your backyard into a putting paradise.
Back yard putting greens in Pleasanton would be a great addition to most peoples landscaping because it’s an area that would be maintenance free for years to come. A “Real lawn” requires a lot more attention than a maintenance free putting green would. That way you don’t have to worry about the water, weeds, rodents, edging and mowing your lawn areas. Most yards in Pleasanton have front and back lawns, so why not keep the front lawn for all the neighbors and public to see, and add a Backyard Putting Green for your self.
If you practice your putting just once or twice a week, from the time that you saved in caring your landscaping, you’ll begin to develop a great short game. When the average golfer goes to the driving range, they hit balls for about an hour, and quickly run out of time to work on their short games. This way you can improve, on your game in the privacy of you home, and people don’t need to see you chunk or thin a chip! With a backyard putting green, you’ll get a chance to fine tune your short game and keep your touch fresh and sharp. At Forever Putting Greens we are dedicated to saving you time and energy so you can put that back into your short game. We believe if you have a Pleasanton Backyard Putting Green, you will be able to practice, entertain, save money, and shave strokes off your game for years to come.

For those of you considering a backyard putting green in the tri valley or bay area, there is a simple question you should ask yourself before calling an installer.
Can I hit shots to my green over 35 yards?
If your answer is NO, then a Nylon putting surface is probably for you. The only advantage a sand-filled polypropylene putting surface will give you is the ability to hit shots up to 150 yards away with a realistic ball response. If you are not building a par 3 golf hole in your backyard then Nylon is the way to go.
Nylon Turf
Advantages: Looks better, multi-directional surface (same putting speed in every direction), no maintenance.
Disadvantages: can receive golf balls from a max of only 35 yards. Farther than 35 yards away, your balls will have a unrealistic bounce.
Polypropylene turf
Advantages: receives golf shots up to 150 yards.
Disadvantages: requires 10 hrs maintenance annually, grainy putts (putts will be slower against the grain) has a browner, sandy look. If not maintained, your ball speed will get faster and faster every month untill it is an unrealistic speed.

Artificial Putting Green
The art of building an Artificial Putting green takes a lot of patience and skill. To design the perfect green that masks an actual living green takes many years of sub base expertise and should not be installed by just any “landscape” company. If you live in the tri valley or bay area and need a putting green installed, it is very important to choose a company with real world golf course experience. Forever Putting Greens has been in business since 2005 and before the synthetic revolution, we built real grass greens. We had a hand in the construction of Ruby hills, The Bridges, and Dublin Ranch. Become one of the numerous golfers who are turning to pratice greens in their backyards so they can polish their short games like grandma’s fine silver.
With the technology of modern artifical turf, the artificial Putting Green and grass is becoming the landscape of the future. Made with 40% recycled Post consumer products, Artificial Putting Greens are not only sharpening golfers games, but saving water, and beautifing backyards all over.

The one putt pro is the only putting matt that can recieving short bump-and-run chip shots with realistic ball reception. It’s bouce and roll-out is second to none!
At Forever Putting Greens we are dedicated to helping our customers make more putts. This nylon putting surface is the perfect distance to work on your tough 12-15 foot putts. The One Putt Pro is all-weather and wont fade in the sun, works great indoors and out. Don’t worry about the putting green sliding around, even on the shiniest hardwood floors because it has a no-slide rubber backing. The realism, stimp and feel-under-foot are second to none. This is a multi-directional putting surface rated a 9-10 on the stimp meter.
There is no other product like the One Putt Pro putting surface. You can do search after search on ebay and not find a nylon putting surface like ours. Why? because the cost of this turf is $5 a square foot. How can we afford to sell it cheaper than cost? We install putting greens around northern California and the One Putt Pro matts I sell on ebay are excess peices from jobs past. Thats a big bonus for you because you are getting this top-of-the-line nylon turf UNDER COST.
