Putting Green

[IllMarty1]

Years ago I read about the limited flight golf ball (Cayman ball). Have not kept up with it's recent advances though. Back then I think Jack Nicklaus was considering design courses for the short ball.

Yea, I read an interview of the Golden Bear quite some time ago, where he believed the demand for this type of course would skyrocket as land values went higher. The shorter courses would require less initial investment in land, and eventually make the game less costly.

There is some info on the web on installing a green. I looked at one several years ago but the upkeep time and maintenance was to much for me. I put an artificial green in from All Pro Greens. They have ones with longer fibers where you fill it with silica type sand and it will hold shots. Just requires sweeping it off. With mine I just marked off 9 different locations to hit from at 25 yards to about a 100 yards. You have to prep the ground and level with limestone dust (1/4 minus) and compact it down but not difficult. I also put a sand trap next to it.

Is it deisgned to putt on or is it just to mimic a green in terms of holding a shot? How much was it if you don't mind me asking?
