Whether it’s always been a vision for your dream home or you have trouble finding the time to squeeze putting practice into your busy schedule, a backyard putting green can help your landscape and game shine.
There are several ways to add a putting surface to your property.  In this guide, we’ll show some of the options available and what to expect when choosing your green (no mowing required).
We will cover:
  • DIY putting greens
  • Standalone options available for purchase
  • Professionally installed greens

DIY BACKYARD PUTTING GREENS

The DIY method is doable if you are handy and like having control over the result, both in design and budget. DIY doesn’t have to be spendy, but this option will be the most labor-intensive. If you’re up to the challenge: rent some equipment, call a few buddies with the promise of their favorite beverage, and get ready for a couple of days of landscaping.
The process looks a little like this:
  • Pick an area of your yard and dig out your green (about 6-8” deep, especially important in cold weather areas) plus additional width for fringe and rough.
  • Fill with heavy road gravel as a base for water drainage and top with fine gravel or road dust.
  • Level the surface with a plate compactor as you go.
  • Cover the area with landscape fabric to prevent weeds from popping up.
  • Using a post hole digger, make holes and place the cups.
  • Lay out the turf and secure the edges and seams with pegs or staples.
  • Add fringe or rough for short game practice and to mesh with remaining yard.
  • Cut out the holes from the turf with a utility knife.
  • Add infill to change green speed and help protect and support turf from wear and exposure.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class.
