662.0. "Putting Green" by DELNI::MHARRIS (Mark Jay Harris, Term Srvr Mktg Mgr) Thu Jul 21 1988 13:52

    Does anyone know what is involved in making an authentic golf-course
    style PUTTING GREEN? I want to do so and was told it is more than
    just good loam and seed.
    
    Any help?

    Being an avid golfer (though not very good) I have seen a few greens
    being re-built. It seems that the main thing is good drainage.
    
    I suggest that you talk to the greens keeper at your home course,
    he should be able to give you all the pointers you need, as well
    as suggesting a possible source for seed. I doubt that your local
    garden shop carries bent grass.

    I have gotten a couple of helpful hints but they were all alot more
    involved than I want to get.I plan to just use atro turf or something.I
    really need hints on levelling out the area and getting it firm enough
    to walk on etc.
    
                                       thanks,
