Installing a backyard putting green can not only increase the value of your property, but dramatically improve your short game. The size of the green can vary, from small to large enough to accommodate a variety of shots. Greens can even be created that account for varying degrees of slope to straight on shots. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, installing a backyard putting green can help you improve not only your short stroke, but provide you with easy access whenever you want to practice.
Increased Accuracy
Artificial turf provides consistent blade length and thickness like what is normally found on a putting green made from real grass. This allows you to practice with an increased level of accuracy that will eventually carry over onto the actual golf course. In most cases, the most costly part of a person's game is their short stroke. Accurate speed, consistent follow through and ball roll are all part of the shot. Being able to accurately hit the cup each time is the key to remaining under par on each hole.
Smoother Putting Stroke
One of the biggest tendencies a golfer has is to tighten up when they finish their putting stroke. Being able to practice their short stroke on a regular basis allows them the advantage of learning to relax while they take their shot. A backyard putting green offers the ability to practice a smooth, easy stroke that enables a person to better control the ball and its speed as it moves towards the cup.
Practice produces self confidence, When a shooter can approach the cup with the knowledge that they have repeatedly made the shot in the past, it allows them the ability to shoot smoothly and effortlessly. Consistent practice can erase the nervousness that can often sabotage a golfer's closing shot. The putt is the final stroke and, more often than not, the deal breaker. Making the final putt can mean the difference between making par or staying a shot under.
Better Ball Control
A backyard putting green provides a golfer with the time to practice efficient ball control. Knowing how to control the ball entails several different aspects. They include:
-
Ball speed
-
Distance
-
Slope towards and away from the cup
-
Making chip shots
Ball control is the main component in closing any shot. Whether a putt is from one foot away from the cup or ten feet, accuracy and ball control is essential. Better ball control can only be achieved with regular practice and a dedication to improving one's ability and skill. Taking the time to practice every day is important, but it can be extremely costly, especially when it comes to time and money.
Installing a backyard putting green allows the shooter to practice whenever they choose. No more green fees, golf cart rentals or lengthy drive times to the golf course and back home. With the right size green, the golfer can practice almost any type of shot. Putting, chipping or short drives all require precision ball handling. A putting green allows golfers to practice the shots that give them the most problems. Taking the time to repeatedly practice each type of shot increases both accuracy and efficiency. It can dramatically reduce the number of shots required to finish each hole and remain under par each time.
Practicing different shots at different angles is an important part of putting. It is also an important part of any sport. Without practice, it is easy to lose focus and become nervous during an important shot. Having a putting green installed makes practice easy, convenient and extremely affordable.
