@@JoeMonaco08 Glad to have you on board the whole time! It took forever to get past 1k! Who knows where this thing goes, but all I know is we’ve had a ton of fun!

@@UnderParAcres I'm glad to see the channel growing and being part of the community. I hope to see your property become a golf paradise. ⛳️

@@danielaltmyer7962 not sure. We just bought it off Wilsons coach and it’s very high quality. I’ll try and find out the brand.

It doesn’t do anything to your swing dude😂 it only melts a layer of plastic from the mat onto your club

I won’t do pine straw this fall. I couldn’t get rid of it last year after sprouting. I’m just going to try and water the seed extra this time.

@@UnderParAcres yeah I think thats your best bet for a good result. I did not use the straw, the company that replaced my septic tank did. And it was/ is a pain to get rid of it. And like I said, it made some parts are pretty patchy and bad. Thanks for this little series of you showing us your process, this was my first video and I will be following and watch the rest. thanks

@@UnderParAcres oh mine is in Kissimmee Florida around the same time period mine is called worlds there is going to be 38 different country’s there. Good luck though guys keep up the practicing

@@kashash8690 Good stuff! Good luck to you as well!!

@@UnderParAcres thank u

Thanks!!

Will do, thanks!

I haven’t used it as much as I would like yet, but my son uses it everyday and it has made a huge difference for him!

That's what I've heard, Bermuda seed requires a ton of water to grow. With the extreme heat, I was pretty much doomed...

I've thought about this and am going to look into it further for next year. For now, just going to mow it low and wait to get the Rye grass growing nicely this fall.

Yeah, I definitely took a lot of short cuts on this project and it showed. Should have never thought that I could hand water this with extreme heats moving in, I think I was doomed before I started...

It really wasn't that hard, other than having to move all the crushed gravel by hand. The biggest key is getting extremely detail oriented and not taking any short cuts. If you can get the materials directly to the build spot, you could probably build a small green in a long weekend. There's tons of professional companies you can go with, but it will cost 4 to 5 times more than DIY. If you are able to focus on the minute details and enjoy the work, I believe it's well worth it, but if not, I would definitely say to hire a professional who specializes in putting greens, and avoid local contractors who have no experience as I have heard and seen many horror stories of the final product.

@@UnderParAcres where would you suggest getting the green from or where did you get yours from

@@DavisMaag this is what I got and where I got it from. Been very pleased so far! turffactorydirect.com/product/tfd-birdie-putt-elite/?_gl=1*1ihu1io*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjwm_SzBhAsEiwAXE2Cv0e0uuA0t2CHfNbXLSCLuVj77Cp9nOpf7xlKvctmkDSyWeGCoxQ5kRoCHAIQAvD_BwE

One of the minor things I would change is I would have gone with 6 inch cups instead of 4 inch, and used a higher quality cup. I'm already seeing some cracking in a few of the cups I bought for cheap. If I had more budget room, I would have built a bigger green, used an underneath padding, and went with a higher quality tur with heavier face weight and longer fibers that require more infill. That would allow for better holding on longer shots. Good luck and let me know if you ever have any questions. Thanks!

@@UnderParAcres thanks for the info! What kind of padding do people use on these? Does it just go on the crushed rock after it’s tamped down?

Thanks!

Absolutely!

I've lived in the city the majority of my life and this whole thing started as nothing more than a day dream about 7 years ago...

That's what I keep telling him, focus on the long haul, not the short run. If he develops a great short game and has a great attitude, the results will start to pour in as he grows.

@@UnderParAcres exactly make sure he knows that yes its fun hitting the long ball but anyone can do that its the short game that matters and what makes scores lower

We need a video on it when it happens 💯💯

First piece of advise, start digging and building while you have the green light...🤣🤣 Seriously though, one of the minor things I would change is I would have gone with 6 inch cups instead of 4 inch, and used a higher quality cup. I'm already seeing some cracking in a few of the cups I bought for cheap. I can hit short chips, but from outside 20 yards it's nearly impossible to stop a ball on. If I had more budget room, I would have built a bigger green, used an underneath padding, and went with a higher quality tur with heavier face weight and longer fibers that require more infill. That would allow for better holding on longer shots. Good luck and reach out if you need any advice during the build! Thanks!

😊

Possibly the funniest comment I've ever received!!

From inside about 20 yards I can hold chips, but outside 20 yards, it's like landing on concrete for sure! I would have had to gone much bigger and spent a lot more money if I wanted to hold longer shots.

Thanks a bunch! Glad to have you onboard!
