NOT ALL SYNTHETIC GRASS IS MADE EQUAL

If you’re looking for lifelike synthetic grass for a industrial or residential golf green project, you can’t pick up a roll of grass from the local big box shop. Your experience will be nothing like what you get at your home course.

When it comes to artificial turf, you want a outcome whereupon a chip shot will land, bounce, roll, stop, and respond as naturally to an authentic golf green. And to optimize your assets, you want a putt to break and roll reasonably from club face to the cup. It’s not being unreasonable, professional player or not.

HOW TO SELECT A EXCELLENT TURF

One of the first features to look for when exploring artificial grass for your golf green projects in Oakley should be the play qualities of authentic golf courses.

Let’s start with landing on the green.

When you land a chip shot on the green, you expect it to be obtained by the grass correctly, bounce adequately, and roll normally, confidently, in the direction of the cup. That last part is at your discretion, though. Sadly, many synthetic grass products can’t deliver on that, failing to provide the equal bounce as true greens do. Our Golden Bear line of products is particularly and mechanically designed to be realistic in this regard and provide 20-25% more ball retention than other foremost artificial grass products.

WHY GOLDEN BEAR TURF

Putting is debatable where the suitable roll, aim, and organic golf ball action becomes even more vital. How can you potentially improve putt uniformity if you’re putting on a poor quality turf that does not have realistic action?

Whether you fight with cut-throughs, spin, shoving, putter release, or even getting better from missed putts, natural golf ball action is important. Repeating your routine and aim on a synthetic golf green that isn’t up to the same pattern as the greens at the course might be more harmful to your game than useful. If you want to better your putting, you need to discover a realistic synthetic grass designed for golf.
