Just built this for my 7 year old son to practice putting on (ok, me too :D ) while he's inside from the heat watching tv in our basement.  Still going to put a rail of some sort up and paint the baseboards, but it works as of now.  Roughly 12'x8'

Looks sweet. I am in the process of planning a 1,200 sq' structure in our back yard. Can't wait to have it installed.

Happy Gilmore was a Hack!


Thanks, post up pics of yours when it is done, sounds like it will be impressive!

There are straight putts to every hole but a few lines have also 2-3" break putts going diagonal.

If you don't mind me asking what materials did you use?

DRIVER: - 910 D3  8.5° / blk Ops stiff shaft

3 Wood:  -  913 Fd  15°

HYBRID:- :ping: -  G25 3H 20°

IRONS:  - 712 AP2, 4-7 : 714 CB - 8-PW

WEDGES - - Vokeys SM4 - 52°-GW, 56°-SW, 60°-Lob

BALLS:  :bridgestone: B330-RX

PUTTER: -  - Scotty Cameron Newport 2.0


I used 96" White Pine 2"x4" Studs. $1.96 a stud, but went through 50 of them to find actual straight studs at Lowes.

1/2" 4'x8' chipboard.  Talk with a lumber guy, Lowes will sell you a sheet with a chipped corner really cheap.

3" and 1 1/4" screws

12'x8' sheet of indoor/outdoor carpet.  This was about $45 at Lowes.  I know they make synthetic putting carpet, but I think the ball rolls really good on the carpet if you stretch it really good right after gluing down.   You can see the weight plate marks I used for doing this.

Tub of indoor/outdoor carpet glue, $15-$20

The cups I got off Doyle-Golf.com.  That site was the cheapest for 4" (depth) practice cups I could find.  No need for 6" deep course cups.  $6 a piece.

I built the green in two sections and then ran studs in those sections 1 foot from center apart.  That way it was super stable and gave good support under the chip board.  Drilled those two sections together, layed down the chipboard.  Cut my holes, spread out the and rolled on the carpet and stretched and stretched and then anchored down with weights.  Waited over night and then mad small cuts in the carpet where the holes were and only cut more if I could squeeze the cup in.  Did this so it would hug the cup and not be loose.  For me, the cups sit perfectly on the surface the green sits on.

I bought some trim as well I will stain to make a border to stop the balls.  Probably had $150 total??

Now that your son has the indoor green, have him watch the movie "Tin Cup." If mom and dad don't mind, he can use the side wall to practice ricochet shots "off the loo."

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • Got a chance to play RTJ today. What a fantastic course. The LIV guys will have fun in another month.  
    • Love resurrecting this thread! The float-load feel bit and then the old video I think from Mike on how to hit low and high chips were the kickstart to my short game journey, where I play well below my handicap (officially 9.x right now, via arccos I only lose 1 stroke per round to a scratch golfer in my short game). I've spent lots of time with float-load and I can be a sniper inside ~40 yards with my GW and 60*. But I actually just started trying a version of this for like ~40-70 yard shots! 70-115 I have a like hands to belly button height stock partial swing shot that I hit with SW-9i dialed.
    • Played 9 today. Good and bad. Full Swing - Right arm straighter feel needs to be there 100%.  Short Game - Just needs a good couple of practice sessions to polish. Too long of backswing most of the time.  Putting - more straight back and straight through “feel” works well. Hitting center of putting face more. 
    • My rule of thumb is a PW for everything from 100 yards in except specialty shots like a flop or a low runner.  I find it easier to eyeball it for distance and swing on feel for the distance I need to hit
    • Day 3: Worked on putting at different distances focusing on matching the backswing and follow-through lengths.
