Product Innovation
To date, most synthetic back yard putting
surfaces are installed using several inches and layers of sand fill to
make the grass fibers stand up, thus causing the putting surface to become
very fast. These surfaces require periodic broom sweeping to keep the
fibers upright, and water-rolling to keep the sand level.
Most of these synthetic turf surfaces have a grain pattern that runs one
way throughout the carpet, making the ball skip or hop across the grain;
these sand-filled greens also need periodic sand-fill and expensive top
dressing.
To create a ball speed that is required of "tour greens", you need to fill
the turf fibers with sand and top dress right up to the top of the fibers.
At that point, you are putting almost entirely on sand and not the fibers.
In time, the sand will settle or wash out, and your sand-filled green will
become much slower.
Now, with the new Mirage Tour Putt™ Turf System, there is no need for deep
sand-fill or top dressing. Our new turf is designed "off the shelf" to
putt just like a Tour Green.
The Mirage Tour-Putt™ surface has Stimp speeds comparable to most PGA
greens, without using deep sand infill or top dressings. Our new turf
fibers have been manufactured to stand up naturally, and our turf has
virtually no grain, thus the ball rolls the same in all directions. The
tips of the fibers have been bent to simulate the true roll of a real bent
grass green.
Need proof in person? Just give us a call and one of our representatives
will bring our putting surface right to your location, so you can actually
putt on it. Once you have putted on our Mirage Putting Green, you will be
convinced, it is the "most realistic maintenance-free synthetic putting
surface in the world."

Real Grass
Greens:
Many people have dreamed
of having real grass putting greens in their back-yards. More often,
these dreams turn into nightmares, as their owners discover the
incredible expense and time it takes to maintain a real grass putting
green.
Real grass putting greens are very expensive to construct and
maintain. They require almost daily mowing and watering; they need
frequent fertilizing, veticutting, winter overseeding, aerating, and
an occasional application of sand and top dressing. You need a special
expensive "tiff" style mower to cut the blades of grass short enough
to putt. This is why most home owners, due to sheer frustration, end
up tearing their real grass putting surface out. |
Mirage Turf
Putting Green:
This is the cost
effective, low-maintenance alternate way of having a practice putting
green in your own backyard.
Our greens need no watering, mowing, or fertilizing. Mirage greens
last many years, and will not be damaged by normal sun, wind, rain,
snow, or ice.
Best of all, our Mirage Turf putting surface looks and putts just like
real grass putting greens.
Our turf has undergone several years of research and development,
creating an efficient, yet affordable proprietary installation
process.
Mirage Greens can even be chipped onto, and they have excellent ball
holding capabilities.
