Hello,

Sorry to bring back a zombie thread. Your putting green looks fantastic. I live in Pennsylvania and am thinking about putting one of these in my backyard this year. How is it holding up 2 years in? Are the paver base panels holding up strong?

This really cool to see because I am thinking about doing this in one corner of our yard.

Sorry did not see this.  The paver panels are fine, but I didn't frame the leveling sand under the green which is fine for me cus I like new breaks.

I do have an update.  So I decided the trap being so close to the green wasnt allowing me to practice sand shots so I decided to go back to hardware mode and enlareged the trap per the next two pics:

Once that was done I got a really nice quick pop net from Dicks and now I can practice any sandshot I want!  Also I put a cover down under the net to catch the sand then just put the sand back in to the bunker.  Couple finished pics let me know what you all think!

gorgeous work a bit jealous. glad you got it done

Thanks!  Yeah, after about 40 shots out of the trap the last few days I'm starting to feel more comfortable with my technique and more confident.  I def think this was needed just wish I had done it sooner!

Gotta say...trap has already paid dividends.  Had two sand shots Sunday and got out of both leaving myself a longish par put (which I missed both).  Still this trap is giving me confidence!
