Neighbor gave me a putting green he won in a drawing
It had been sitting for years and had wrinkles. Thought about installing it in the backyard but didn't want to shell out $2K and then have to weed eat around it. Decided to try and install it in the garage. My son really enjoys golf and would like to compete in the "Drive, Chip, and putt" challenge. The putting has always been a problem.
Bought some fringe/turf from the local turf shop
for a scrap piece, it runs about $100; good stuff though. Great for chipping off of.
Cut up the finge into 6"x12" sections
Spent some time deciding on the exact layout. I want to be able to drive my truck on this incase of bad weather.
Deciding on cup placement
Rented a Core Drill from Hope Depot for $70
Cut two 5" holes
Filled them in with mortar
degreased cement
Drew lines for glue placement
all prepped and ready for install
used a chisel for removing old cement
carpet to floor adhesive
placing out the glue
using a grass roller
rolling out the wrinkles
decided to put corners on the edge for a cleaner look
Finished Green
Next, cut out the cups
located and cut
Cups done
hung a net for driving into
You can actually hit/chip right off the turf; this stuff is durable
Finished!

This, sir, is dedication. Take my upvote.

That driving net and door is perfectly set up for Kramer to burst in and spaz out at ALMOST getting hit by a golf ball.

At least it will stay green in winter. And mowing will not be too much trouble.

The kitchen could be a par 4.

I didn't look at all the images, but I'm jumping on the bandwagon of popular DIY projects on imgur lately.

I am worried about your walls and the efficiency of that driving net causing one of those cartoon character bumps on your head.
ThePipsta
I have the bottom of the net weighted down. It works quite well. I can drive full speed. Sometimes my driver hits the ceiling though.

If this is for golf, then where do you put the cars?
ThePipsta
The turf is very durable. You can park right on it.

I want to see the drawing.
