So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Steps In Constructing An Indoor Practice Putting Green

By Robert Willett


Any golfer is aware that a practice putting green is really important in order to help them practice their game. Building an indoor putting green all on your own is certainly a fantastic way to save some money since purchasing this golf equipment isn't that cheap. Additionally, having your own putting green at home allows you to practice your game anytime you wish to, even during rainy days when you cannot go out and play. So here's how to construct your very own putting green in your house.

Build The Frame

The first thing is to build a rectangular frame from a 2" x 8" pine boards. You have to be able to come up with a 4" x 8" board and make sure that it should have a height of about four and a half inches. Use metal brackets to secure the frame well. Next, attach 2" x 4" support beams inside the frame you have built. Afterwards, nail them on both ends and make certain that you space them evenly out so that there will not be any weak areas and that it won't easily give up when you walk right on top of the practice putting green.

Create A Board

After you are done with the frame, the next step is to create boards. So cut a plywood board to a dimension that is similar to the frame you just created. After that, nail the board on top of the frame. The ends of the plywood should then be flushed in order to be in-line with the sides of the frame.

Then grab a compass and a pencil and create a circle with a diameter of 4 inches. This will serve as the hole for your practice putting green. Make sure to leave some space of about a foot or two on both sides of the hole. Make use of a jigsaw when cutting the hole and do not be in a rush. Take your time so as to make sure that you arrive with the right size of hole and that the edges will appear as smooth as possible.

Attach The Carpet

When you are done creating the board, the next step is to glue or attach a turf carpet to the plywood board you just created. So apply a generous amount of glue on the plywood board that's attached to the frame of your practice putting green.

You also need to apply some glue on the turf carpet, right on the area that will be glued on the board. If you think they are ready to be attached, then apply the carpet to the board carefully and pull tightly to ensure that there won't be any bulges that might cause an obstruction on your game. If you think that the carpet is now smooth enough, check the edges and trim off any pieces that is hanging over the board.

The final step is to insert a cup on the hole you've created on the board. You could make use of any plastic cup or container, or you could check out some of the golf supply stores near you and see if they sell a cup to be used for the hole of your practice putting green.
