    At the end I was expecting the kid to have a great putting stroke and instead it looks like he’s never touched a club in his life AND he’s using a full-size adult putter 😆

    I am a carpet guy. The first thing anyone does when laying carpet or turf like this, is to keep the carpet running in the same direction. It is clear from this video, the carpet was reversed after the one side was cut, and this is why you see two different colors or shades where the seam was made. Ouch!!! a very expensive mistake because you now have the nap or grain of the carpet running one way on one half the green and the other way on the other half. Big mistake right off the bat.

    • @kkgolf5371

    thanks for the video. I followed these instructions to a T, however the one I doubted after hitting it with the hose and wacker was the layer of dust. Against my better judgement, i added the thin layer of dust. The irony is you say it acts like icing on a cake to get rid of lumps and bumps, but by introducing it on top of the flat concrete like surface, it created lumps and bumps that would take forever to smooth out. I proved this by removing the dust on half the putting green, and leaving it on the other 1/2. The side with no dust looks smooth as can be, the dust side had tons of lumps and bumps. For anyone out there following this video, SKIP the Crusher dust step. It caused me to have to pull the carpet back remove and re do the whole nailing process. Good video otherwise

      Hi Greg, I hope you get to see my reply.
      I'm.going to make a golf putt too. When watching the video, I too thought laying down the crusher dust made no sense too and was thinking of avoiding it and then I saw your comment, so I'm definitely going to avoid that now.
      Thanks for the heads up.
      also, how did you go getting the puting green surface did they have it at Bunnings or did you have to go somewhere else?
      All up, what would you say your budget was and how did it all turn out?
      If you have any tips for me I'd love to hear them. Thank you.

    Second mistake was cutting the holes out after the turf was laid. All the holes should have been marked and dug out prior to laying the turf in place. This way you can smooth out the area around the cup without the turf being in the way. This is not the way to put a putting green in place. I see problems with this putting green around the cup and just in general with the way the turf was installed.

  • @haydenm.9822
    @haydenm.9822 8 років тому +13

    So I'm thinking that wth the turf alone it will cost about $200-$250 and for the sand it will be about $50. Two hole with flags will be about $120. The foundation would cost about $80-$100 and then add the plants. All in all you are looking at between $450 and $520 not including labor or moving of the elements. For $520 you get a small but usable green with a terribly unusable bunker and some holes that look like they are risen up out of the ground. I don't think so.

      banklikefrankwhite1 for starters, it’s very loosely installed, which can cause water and air to make pockets under it. They also forgot to add silica sand sprinkled onto the green, so it will pool up water. Finally, when it rains, the hole will fill with water. I would have personally put some sort of compacted dirt instead of leaving it alone, made tunnels and added corrugated tubing that slopes to a drainage point at a corner of the lawn.
