How much better would your game improve if you had a putting green in your own back yard? No more lost time commuting to and from a golf course and then waiting behind other players. Just you and your putter spending some quality time together getting reacquainted or strengthening your bond. But, you don't want to waste your money on a cheap, flat green carpet of nylon that just gets nailed or glued down to a slab of cement. So, who do you trust with your dream? Keep reading.

The American Synthetic Turf Institute, or ASTI, is a good place to start looking for qualified putting greens installers. No company that doesn't adhere to the strictest of requirements may earn top certification from the ASTI. Any quality putting greens installation company will strive for the standards set by the ASTI. They are expected to maintain a constant level of excellence after receiving extensive training. It is an ongoing accomplishment that helps weed out the less-than dedicated companies who would take your hard earned money to install a subpar product.

Make sure the company you decide on is one who recognizes that each client has individual ideas that meets their own, unique wants and needs. One who encourages their customers to participate in every aspect of the design, including pin placement, contour, and desired speed to ensure that satisfaction is wholly met. A company that cares about their clients is a company that cares about the quality of their products and installation to make sure they satisfy their customers.

Find a company that offers the highest quality of a simulated bent grass golf system that has a G rating for authentic performance by the American Golf Association. From any distance, this system will hold a shot. If you can hit it, it can hold it. It will also give you the capability to stimp the speed five points up or down at any time as well as check and release as if it were real bent grass.

Look for a company that only uses fibers with the highest level UB stabilized fiber available, category four. This means your putting greens will outplay, outlook, and outperform any mass produced synthetic turf. Then, to top that off, it will also outlast its competitors where outside conditions are concerned. It will withstand heat and direct sunlight that causes discoloration, as well as freeze and thaw that causes degradation. You should be able to enjoy your investment for years to come as though you had it installed yesterday.

Go ahead and do your research. Take your time finding a quality, certified putting greens company. Make sure they've been around long enough to be in good standing with the BBB, because they're five, seven, or ten year warranties won't do you a bit of good if they're not around for that long. Make sure your decision is one you'll be able to appreciate years down the road, with no regrets.
