A six piece expansion kit is available, allowing for a large number of putting green configurations.

Tour Links 3′x10′ Dogbone Indoor / Outdoor Putting Green Review
The Dogbone Indoor / Outdoor Putting Green is produced by Tour Links, one of the most popular putting green manufacturers in the world. It is a dual-ended, weather resistant and portable practice putting green.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the Tour Links 3′x10′ Dogbone Indoor / Outdoor Putting Green uses patented technology to produce a green with a tour speed experience. Combined with two regulation sized cups (one at each end) and a single practice pin, this practice putting green has an authentic feel to it.

If installed outside, it can be installed ’submerged’ by those few inches, allowing it to become level with the ground and thus providers a bigger surface for the golfer to stand on.
The Tour Links 3′x10′ Dogbone Indoor / Outdoor Putting Green is also a very portable practice putting green. Like most Tour Links products, it is easily assembled from a number of interlocking panels finished by rolling the pre-cut turf on top. Tour Links panels are constructed with strong honeycomb providing ample support for players.

Advantages of Synthetic Putting Greens
While most of us would love to own our own golf course this is unlikely unless we win the lottery. However, owning your own practice putting green is another thing and certainly not reliant on the proceeds of a lottery win. This article examines putting greens, specifically synthetic putting greens.
Synthetic putting greens are a close substitute for the real thing but are in need of a lot less maintenance than ‘real’ grass putting greens. The greens in levels vary between those with some elevation, to the popular straight put style and even downhill slopes. They are built to withstand the harshest of weather climates and usually have long-term guarantees which hopefully you will never need.
With synthetic greens rather than true grass you can also avoid the hardship of watering, weeding, fertilizing, mowing and paying for the upkeep of your green. The biggest advantage to owing a synthetic putting green is that your putting is never rained off. The bane in the lives of all golfers be them recreational or pro is the dreaded downpour that puts an immediate end to an enjoyable putting session. This is a worry that owners of synthetic greens don’t have, as most can be played on year-round, irrespective of conditions.
If you are considering having a golf green installed at home, that would probably mean you are a pretty keen golfer and will be using it on a daily basis, not to mention the fact that your friends and family will probably be using it too. This constant use could create wear and tear on a green made of real grass, again this is a pain you can avoid with a synthetic green as they are built to withstand the pressure of prolonged use.
Synthetic greens are as close to putting perfection as there can be. They make the sensible choice for a home golf practice green and are growing in popularity, it’s not difficult to see why.
