Grupo Mayan Golf Lovers

The Grupo Mayan golf pros know that our golf loving guests love to practice their sport whenever they get a chance.  One question the pros regularly receive is how a golfer can practice when he cannot get to the golf course.  Here is some advice that will hopefully answer your question.

Many Grupo Mayan guests have considered the option of building their own putting greens at home.  While this is a great idea and will give the golfer many opportunities to practice there are still some things to be considered.

Artificial or fake grass is the number one choice of turf for home putting greens.  It needs little care and be used year round.  The golfer must remember, warn the Grupo Mayan pros that fake turf will play differently than real grass so adjustments will have to be made on actual golf courses.  Most of our guests live in climates that would not make real grass putting greens an option for year round practice, so even with the differences between real and fake turf the fake turf is the better option. The Grupo Mayan pros say that the adjustment should not be problem as golfers constantly adjust to changing green conditions depending on weather.

In order to determine the type of artificial grass you want to install the Grupo Mayan pros suggest you visit golf websites and local turf suppliers to see what they suggest.  The websites and store clerks will be up to date on all of the latest advances in turf and offer you great suggestions.

There are also many wonderful websites that give instructions on building your putting green.  Most of these sites offer step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow and allow the golfer to install his own outing green with minimal effort.  When designing your green you will want to place it in an area of little or no grass or undergrowth.  The golfer must also decide the shape and landscaping of his green along with cup placement say the Grupo Mayan pros. Once these decisions have been made the golfer can lay a layer of stone as his green base, layer the turf and go from there.

Having your own personal putting green will give the golfer the opportunity to improve his game all year long.  Imagine coming home from work and being able to practice putting while grilling a few steaks.  How about inviting a few fellow golfers over for a putting challenge?  The possibilities of having your own putting green are endless.

The Grupo Mayan pros hope the above advice has been helpful.  We look forward to seeing you at one of our Mexican resorts soon.  We have added many advances to our courses and pro shops and are in the process of building several new golf courses.  While on vacation at Grupo Mayan make plans to work with our pros in a seminar or class.  The Grupo Mayan pros will be happy to give you tips to improve your game.
