Champions are not made overnight. It takes a lot of constant practice to make your golf swing flawless. But certain parts of the game are directly related to the quality of the grass you are using. Have you ever tried to golf on grass that is not perfectly manicured? It can make any game more difficult and mess up your game. This is one of the major reasons artificial turf is the first choice of a lot of golfers. Keep reading to get more information.

 

WHY DO GOLFERS PREFER SYNTHETIC GRASS?

CONSISTENT & RELIABLE

Artificial turf will always be the correct length, providing you the consistency you must have for good practice. The texture is designed to feel and look like traditional grass, without the problems of natural grass has. Underneath the playing surface, you will discover backing systems that provide better bounce, aim, and roll, so you can rely on a predictable play of the ball no matter when you are practicing.

 

LOOKS BEAUTIFUL

A professionally installed synthetic green will forever appear gorgeous, no matter what weather or wear and tear it may be open to. Southwest Greens turf is made to rigorous standards to give you the best. It will not fade from sun exposure or high pedestrian traffic. Unattractive dead spots will never be a problem, either!

 

LOW MAINTENANCE

Artificial grass is the winner for lower maintenance requirements. Golf greens need to be kept short, and with organic grass, this implies more trimming and mowing. Plus, keeping weeds away will be a challenge with traditional grass. Since artificial turf is not an organic material, it will keep bugs away without the regular application of insecticides.

 

BETTER DRAINAGE

High-end artificial grass has better drainage than natural grass. This is because of the layers below the turf that enables water to drain out through exit points of the surface quickly and efficiently. Water will not puddle on the grass as easily, and mud will become a distant memory. The putting green will be prepared for play, no matter what the weather may have been
