Shape
your Green
The green is delivered in a rectangular shape. You may desire to shape
the green to give it a natural look. Refer to your brochure for shapes.
If you are not adding a fringe turf to your putting green, cut the
shape of your putting green using your outside border as a guide. If
you desire a fringe around your putting green, use a yard stick to assist
you with measurements.
FOR EXAMPLE-
On one installation we used a two foot collar of fringe turf around
the putting green.
REMEMBER: The fringe turf is functional-- you can
chip off of it.

Formula
to determine the amount of fringe turf needed for a two foot collar
of fringe: |
|
Total length
+ width
Divide
by 2.5
Example:
On a 24 X 26 putting green the length is 52 feet if you place the
two 12 by 26 rolls end to end
52 + the width of 12 = 64
64 divided by 2.5 is about 26
A 12 X 26 foot roll of fringe turf is needed
to give a 2 ft collar of fringe around the putting green.
-
Use your yard-stick to measure two feet in from
the border.
-
Use a string to mark your shape in 1 foot increments.
-
Use a utility knife (with new blades) to cut
along the outside perimeter of the string. This gives you the desired
shape.
