A Golf Putting Green – The Perfect Father’s Day Gift

They love and care for us, work very hard for us, and put their own needs behind ours, so why is it that all too often fathers wake up on Father’s Day to novelty ties and comfy slippers?

Surely the one day of the year that is dedicated to all the goodness that a father provides should be met with a more thoughtful, appreciative gift that you know your father will enjoy.

Call us biased, but surely a putting green is the perfect way of buying a gift that you know not only will be cherished but more importantly will be enjoyed more than  run of the mill novelty gifts. The range of putting greens available is extremely diverse and sure to suit every budget from roll-away mats (eg Big Moss Original EX1) for the home or office to synthetic putting greens (eg Tour Links 4′x12′ Indoor/Outdoor Putting Green ) all are sure delight and provide endless hours of fun and practice for fathers everywhere.

As a Father’s Day gift not only are you giving your father a unique gift but you are also giving him the opportunity to practice his putting in private at home or in the garden not in a busy golf club where time is precious and every shot scrutinized by playing partners or business colleagues.

A putting green gives fathers a chance to unwind after work, to relax over the weekend whilst keeping themselves active and improving their golf skills at the same time. Having a putting green will make your father the envy of his friends and neighbors who will marvel at your thoughtfulness.

What is wonderful about putting greens as a great Father’s Day present is that they can be enjoyed and used by everyone in the family, they will bring the golfer out in you and can used for fun games along with serious practice.

Father’s Day may just be one day of the years but by giving a gift such as a putting green you will have your father feeling like it is Father’s Day everyday as he practices his putting at home irrespective of weather conditions all year round.

A putting green would be the most cherished Father’s Day gift ever and will have your father feeling over the moon. After all, isn’t that what Father’s Day is all about?

It’s Summer – Time For A Putting Green Party

Picture the scenario. You just bought a beautiful putting green just to constantly practice on it yourself. Big mistake!

You would be doing your friends and family (not to mention yourself) a disservice by not triumphantly telling everyone about your new practice putting green. Once they hear about it they will all be eager to come and play so why not have a party where everyone can come along and have a go playing on your new putting green.

To add to the fun on the night you can have mini-tournaments complete with fake trophies for the winner. If you have an outdoor putting green then Spring or Summer would be the best time to host a party for obvious weather-related issues, on the other hand if your practice green is an indoor-putting green then you can have a Putting Party all year-round, in fact you may find yourself throwing these parties all year-round such is the pleasure and enjoyment shared by all on these nights.

You can have a kiddies putting tournament on the putting green, a tournament for both sexes then a battle of the champions. Fun is guaranteed for all.

However a few words of warning – if the tournament being played on a grass putting green then ensure the children don’t slice up your turf, the same goes for adults in fact, particularly those who might be enjoying a beer or two on the night.

You should have a few accessories to add further on the night – things like plastic trophies, scorecards, hole-in-one prizes etc. Putting green parties are lighthearted affairs and provide a distraction from your own putting practice now that you have your own practice putting green.

If you have an indoor synthetic putting green then you will want to ensure that guests don’t spill liquids such as beer on your green. Why not provide a nearby table for people to rest their glasses or bottles whilst they chat and play. If you have an outdoor green and plan on having a barbecue at your party then don’t have it too close to your putting green. You do not want a group of people trampling over your golf green to pick up their hot dogs or burgers.

The agony of failed putts will no longer be a problem thanks to the hours of practice you put in on your putting green but don’t forget to enjoy owning one as much as possible. Having a Putting Green Party is one of the best ways of enjoying owning a golf putting green.

What to look for in Indoor Putting Greens

Indoor putting greens may mean you get less sun but they also mean you get less rain and that can only be good news from a golfer’s perspective.

Indoor golf putting greens are no longer reserved solely for the homes of golf enthusiasts. They are now commonplace at corporate events such as conventions and also adorn the reception areas of large businesses. Their growing popularity can be attributed to a few factors amongst them competitive prices, practicality and a wide choice of putting green to suit any occasion.

Whether you are having an open putting tournament with colleagues or friends, or if you are concentrating on refining your putting skills there are other practice putting green features to look out for when considering which indoor putting green to purchase. (You may be able to get these items separately to your green).

• A step on either side to facilitate both left and right-handed golfers
• Putt reducer to make your target that little bit more difficult to reach thus enhancing your putting ability
• Putter-rack to rest your putters against

Depending on the type of green that you wish to buy you will need to consider some installation issues, though most are very easy to install and will pose no maintenance difficulties.

Once you have identified the room in your home or office, that you intend putting your practice green, then you need to measure the dimensions in that room in order to find a green that will be a suitable match for that room. You should bear in mind that you may find yourself becoming more popular with friends and family once you buy an indoor putting green so, if possible, try to put the green in a roomy area in your house / office allowing for visitors and suitable for a party or tournament.

Should you intend to buy an indoor putting green purely for practice then you will only require a smaller area as you will not expect to have fellow-players or guests lounging around.

Practice Putting Green featured on the TV show Psych

We are big fans of the offbeat psychic detective show, Psych, on the USA Network. So we were doubly thrilled when, early in Friday’s episode, Sean attempted a straightforward, albeit long, putt down the corridor of the Police precinct towards a practice putting green not unlike the Caddie Mat Automatic Return Putting Green.

Needless to say, in true Psych fashion, the golf ball took an incredibly circuitous route towards the pin on the practice putting green. Just as it looked like Sean had pulled off the greatest putt in golf putting practice history. The ball was kicked off target, just inches from the hole.

Oh well. That’s Psych!

If you want to try to emulate Sean & Gus’ golf escapades, why not get your own
Caddie Mat Automatic Return Putting Green.
