Anyone Can Own Their Own Artificial Grass Putting Course!

DENVER, CO, January 3, 2001. Golf entrepreneurs have long been fascinated with owning and operating their own golf course. For most, this is only a dream. The financing alone is enough to make your MasterCard melt! But the dream can now be a reality! Chip-and-putt and putting courses are fast becoming very popular and much more feasible to own. With most of the emphasis for improving golf scores placed on the short game, there's an increased demand for short game training facilities.

Chip and putt courses are miniature par 3 courses. The average tee to green distant is approximately 40 yards. Putting courses are putting greens without the windmills and spewing volcanoes. Putting course greens have undulations, rough hazards and dogleg lefts and rights. It' just like playing real golf, there are par 3s, 4s and 5s! The only difference is that all the strokes are made with just a putter.

Even though a chip-and-putt or putting course is much cheaper to develop than a par 3 or regulation course, there are still important financial factors to consider. Two of the largest expenses are maintenance and liability. ProGreen International, Inc., a Denver based company, has the answer to both the maintenance and liability issues: SYNTHETIC.

"Synthetic just makes sense," say's company president Steve Walker. "There's no down time for green maintenance. You can play day and night on a synthetic putting green without having to close the course for watering, mowing, general up-keep or weather. This is key to generating higher profits."

Synthetic golf green systems have made great strides in the past few years. ProGreen uses a very dense synthetic fiber, mixed with silica sand and ground-up recycled tires. The appearance and playability are unbelievably real, even from 200 yards out! ProGreen also makes Tee-Turf mats are so unique you can insert a tee anywhere on the surface! ProGreen Tee-Turf mats also allow the golfer to hit down and through the ball. For chip-and-putt courses, maintenance costs are greatly reduced because the tees and greens are all synthetic. The only up-keep is the real grass that goes between the tees and greens.

For putting courses the maintenance and the liability costs are greatly reduced. The maintenance cost is almost non-existent. Liability insurance is much less because the golf balls are not getting airborne. ProGreen Synthetic Grass has chip-and-putt, and putting courses installed throughout the world.
