How to Build a Golf Green

Hi this Blog today will be devoted to showing you an interesting design and build project from our sub division Greencare Sports Ltd.
We will show our latest project from start to finish.
Firstly we were given the task to make a Practice facility beside the first Tee at Ralston GC in Paisley Scotland.
As you can see in picture 1. We had marked out the rough shape and have started to dig shallow drains 100mm below the surface , as this is a push up Green you do not need to go down deeper.

In pic 2 we can see the covering of the area with gravel there are 2 different sized layers of this material to stop the movement of material through them to the drains.
