WHAT IS A PUTTING GREEN USED FOR?
Putting is one of the most critical parts of your golf game. For most non-professional golfers, it can account for almost 50% of shots. So putting is something most golfers choose to work on all the time, right?
Not so fast.
The majority of golfers will opt to practice driving ranges and skip putting entirely. Are you guilty of this, too?
Yes, driving ranges are a good time, and seeing those long, satisfying shots are great, but are your putts lacking that important element they need?
A high-quality putting green turf is made from low pile artificial grass which allows golf balls to roll true. It’s a little different from traditional turf because it isn’t as thick as the artificial grass that is used on lawns, and it will help you improve your short game.
ARE INDOOR PUTTING GREENS WORTH IT?
Artificial indoor golf putting greens are made with synthetic fibers and can be used in place of naturally growing grass since it is durable. Maintaining a traditional grass putting green indoors would be a disaster, so artificial turf is the indoor king.
An indoor putting green will both improve the look of your Huntsville home and will, more importantly, allow you to practice your golf game in any kind of season or weather, and the upside of installing an indoor putting green exceed the investment by a considerable amount.

The money you would save by owning an indoor putting green is one of the biggest perks — you will save on both time and money used for travel, memberships, and caddy fees.

Artificial turf needs next to no maintenance, even less indoors. Keeping an indoor putting green nice and clean requires less work than maintaining other floorings.
