        It's still holding up great despite 2 hard freezes In November. The warm weather lately has it looking lush while the same grass in the yard is dormant.

          Looking great! I could come up with a new beer drinking game pretty quick if I had a putting green in my back yard lol.

            I added 2 more holes to the green for a total of 4 now.

            I need to add more sand pretty soon but overall it came out of the winter in good shape.






            My plan is to get a better reel mower (gas powered) that can mow shorter than the 1/4" height I'm limited too now.

            Still haven't put that bunker in yet either.

              I am going to do this soon, I don't have any idea what kind of grass I have, mostly weeds, anything I should do first, maybe plant grass and let it get going before I start?? I am also wanting to put some different levels in it, should I just do that with the sand and water it in good before starting?? If you decide to sell your mower when you get another, I may be interested

                I remember this thread when you first started it. Glad to see it's working out well. You should be one heck of a putter by now. That would make for a real good time there!

                  Unclefish, I know this thread is an old one, but I was curious on if/how your little green has held up the last year with all of the rain.

                  My uncle is a course superintendent and I've always enjoyed watching people take on greens/ranges/little courses of their own.

                      Don't forget the iron. We sprayed fe once a month during the grow season. Of course, we also watered every day around 5am. We had 29 greens and each was about $100k to build properly. Yes they were almost tour quality. We also plugged or aeriated once a year and amended the voids level with a mixture of sand and fertilizers. The grass you mentioned in Galveston is bred to survive the salt air Galveston sees. Just a bit north we used tiff eagle irc.

                      Cool project. Looks pretty good.
