Are
there any contour limitations?
No.
Since the shape of our silica sand is ANGULAR
it will lock in place after it is watered down. This combined with the weight of the silica sand anchors
the turf firmly in place. This permits the contour
to be sloped at any angle. Many of our customers
construct their greens in two tiers or with
rolling undulations.
How
does water drain off the green?
Water drains directly off the top of the
synthetic putting green.
Can
snow, ice, wind, or intense heat harm the green?
ProGreen Synthetic Golf Greens have been
installed in the Arizona deserts and high in the
Rocky Mountains -- The resilient UV-resistant
fibers will withstand the effects of rain, snow,
ice and intense UV and heat exposure.
Will a
ProGreen Synthetic Putting Green wear out?
Since most of the wear is on the sand, these
greens will virtually last forever.
Our turf comes with an 8-year warranty, and the
first greens we installed in Denver in 1987 are
still going strong and being used regularly.
Can
a ProGreen Synthetic Putting Green be installed indoors?
Yes. However, with our sand filled greens a
minimal amount of top dressing sand will track
outside the green area. We recommend using
our nylon products, PGN3300 or PGN3600, for
indoor installations.
Can
a sand trap be placed next to a ProGreen
Synthetic Putting Green?
Yes. We recommend you use Bunker Sand or
Washed Masonry Sand which is available at your
local Sand and Gravel Company. Bunker Sand can
be easily brushed off the green. Sand Trap
installation instructions are included in the
written instructions provided with every
ProGreen Putting Green purchase.
Can
a ProGreen Synthetic Putting Green absorb a long ball bounce?
Yes. Many of our products will absorb
long ball bounces, with the exception of our
nylon products. Our unique fiber density
and top dressing give ProGreen putting greens
the ability to hold shots from from a distance.
A
different blend of silica sand is required for
long ball greens. We have many 9 and 18
hole golf courses installed though out the
country that employ this technology.
What
is the Stimp Speed of a ProGreen Golf Green?
The
average stimp speed is 8 or 9 but can be
adjusted up to a 12.
See
Stimp Speed.
Can
a ProGreen Synthetic Green be installed near my other
landscaping?
Yes. Keep in mind that if you want to install
a green near a tree to make sure the tree is
deep rooted. The roots of a shallow rooted tree
will rise to the surface, causing swells and
bumps on the golf green surface.
How
is debris, such as branches and leaves, removed
from the green?
A
Lawn/Leaf Blower is the quickest way to remove
debris. You can also lightly sweep debris off
the surface with the included push broom. |
