Indoor putting green?   Yes, I have googled quite a bit and read as many posts as I could find on WRX.  There is a lot of insight and a lot of opinions.  You can find posts that are in favor of any of the putting green products out there.  A matter of taste, I get that.

So what I’m doing is getting a green that would be within a 4x14 area.  I could go slightly wider and longer if needed, 5x15 max.  So what I’m trying to decide is between three ready-made greens or buying a section of high quality turf from several companies.  I’m looking for the best roll for the money.

So the ready-made choices are two of the more popular ones plus one I found and was wondering if anybody had experience with it.  I have looked at Tour Links and a few others and they are slightly more than I want to spend.

The Truline Big Murph: http://www.trulinegreens.net/shop/product/big-murph/ Comes in 10 or the tour speed 12 stimp.  Would the tour speed made me a more accurate putter?  Play at various courses that have either or.

Big Moss: http://www.bigmoss.com/The-Original-EX2_p_114.html

http://www.bigmoss.com/The-Original-EX1-_p_113.html

http://www.bigmoss.com/The-Augusta-EX-Pro_p_124.html

They are a little less than the Big Murph and would work unless people who have tried both think the Truline is worth the extra money.

Here is one more I found that would work and I’m wondering if anyone had any experience with it-Master Green- http://artificialturfandputtinggreens.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MasterGreen4

Or I could order a piece of 4x14 from one of the following companies, wondering if the quality of this turf could be better:

Or there may be some that members are also aware of.  So the help I need is whether I should get a pre-made, and if so which one.  Or if the  quality is better from buying a custom cut section of premium turf, and if so which one.  I think the bulk piece would run about $260.  Any advice would be great. Thanks.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
