So you’ve been watching Phil hit the perfect 10-yard chip and you are wanting to bring some serious focus to your yip-like putting stroke after a few 85s slowly became 91s due to your short game woes. Last month, you acquired a new two-ball putter and a Vokey wedge to round out the bag but your short game still needs TLC. It’s not always equipment … sometimes the dummy holding the club needs additional tools to whittle a short game to a sharp point. Perhaps the ultimate tool is to bring your game to your home and transform your backyard into a golf-training sanctuary. Imagine having your own green all to yourself where chipping, putting and fringe flops were a mere 10 feet from your back porch. Well, this is a reality as many fine companys offer installation of synthetic turf of varying styles, lengths and colors. One such company is SportCourt of Washington, where the customer can sit with an engineer and design their very own backyard golf green, choosing the breaks, undulations, speed, number of holes, rough and rough height and, of course, the size. All this is done to fit your budget and can be done in stages as well. SportCourt also installs pickleball, basketball and recreational courts, too. They also have vision for landscaping your little slice of heaven, too.
