Some people use artificial putting green turf for working on both putting and other aspects of the golfer’s short game.
It’s also important to determine whether the practice time will require an indoor or outdoor install, matching the material in use with whether it needs to stand up to sunlight and rain or whether the installation will occur indoors.
Best Putting Green Turf for Indoors
Building a putting practice area indoors is easy, as several types of putting green turfs work nicely for indoor use.Additionally, the synthetic turf needs to have a short pile height that allows the golf ball to roll easily along the surface. If the pile height is too tall, the golfer will need to use too much force to putt the ball, creating bad habits.
For those who also want to practice chipping, a taller pile height works well for the half swing required, as the taller blades of faux grass allow the club head to slide under the ball.
