Determine location:
Consider the material that you're using
12ft. wide or 15ft. wide for the putting green surface.
The Layout:
See
a few free
putting green designs on our website.
Laying out your practice putting green area is a key to getting
exactly what you need to help you improve your golf game.
Putting green material is normally manufactured in two widths 12'
and 15'. Also keep in mind that you will need to trim off a few inches
on each side (12' material becomes roughly 11.5').
Your backyard putting green design is only limited to your
imagination. To help in you layout your putting green we recommend you
take some rope, garden hose, or even landscaping paint and shape it to
the size of your desired putting green area. (Only use marker pant after
you complete a rough layout)
Keep in mind that you might want to add fringe to one side, or
completely surrounding it.
