Is there a green for my budget?
Due to the innovative design of TourLinks greens if you can afford
a new driver you can own your own putting green.
Is it O.K. to leave the greens outside?
Absolutely. The material used in both the platforms and the putting
surface is designed to with stand the exterior elements. We would recommend
however that it is advisable to roll up the turf and take it indoors
if prolonged severe weather is forecasted.
Is the green hard to assemble?
In most cases any green can be built in 15 minutes or less with
only a Phillips screwdriver. Larger greens will take a little more time
but still less time then hitting a large bucket of balls on the driving
range
Once I have built the green can I move it to a
different location?
Simply take the green apart and re-install it at a new location
of your choice.
Can you change the contours?
Yes. By inserting the foam contour mats under the turf an infinite
number of breaks can be created and easily changed.
How would you install the green in your backyard?
Perhaps the easiest method is to simply mow the grass in the area
that you want to install your TourLinks green and place the platforms
directly on the grass. After a few days the grass under the platforms
will die and the green will settle into the landscape. If a less then
perfect soil setting is chosen a 1" base of crushed shell followed
by a 1/2" of sand will create a very solid base for the platforms.
Adding material here and removing it there will create natural contour
to your new green. The panels are designed to flow over the existing
or created contours of the yard but on a flat surface the green will
putt dead straight.
Why do the cups move?
The cups are designed to move to allow for the expansion and contraction
of both the platforms and the carpet thus allowing for perfect cup alignment
in all weather conditions.
Can I expand the green once I have purchased a
particular model?
Simply purchase additional panels and a new piece of turf and
a new design can be created
Is the turf fast?
The Tourlinks putting turf is designed to replicate Tour speed
conditions.
It appears that the turf is faster in one direction,
is that normal?
Just like the greens at your club our turf has grain and will
vary from putting into the grain and with the grain just like a natural
green
