Putting mini-golf in my backyard

Thanks. It was wayyy more work than I thought. Mostly because when I started I just thought I would put in the fake lawn, which then turned into putting curbing and fake lawn, which then turned into a new patio and curbing and fake lawn, which then turned into new lights, etching and resurfacing the existing patio, spreading chips on the old garden, LED lights in the cups, eletricity by the new patio, water supply, cool rope lighting, a new power supply for the larger wattage lights, new spotlight....and new patio and curbing and fake lawn.

I officially hate golf.

lol... at the end when you get done, you will fill proud of the work. I'm sure your neighbors would be jealous. You might make them pay an entrance fee to play golf lol.

Or maybe you or your wife will get a transfer at work and you will have to move cross country and leave the new personal golf course behind.

lol... that's probably the worse case scenario

I checkedd out online for colored golf balls. You can get them, but only in packs of 10. So to get 8 different colors, I would have to buy 80 stupid balls.

So I went down to the local mini putt and asked if I could buy 10 golf balls. I think they thought I was nuts, but here are 10 official mini-putt balls for a whopping $5

Awesome. Looks like you will be playing golf soon

I like that they came from a real mini-putt golf course...it's like they are "authentic". Real people played with these only hours before on real course...

They look like gumballs! hehehe

hehe yeah you're right, hehe ... I would love a gumball right now ...

Do golf balls get "broken in" ?

I don't think so, but some of the balls are smoother than the others. Suggesting that when they have been around the miniputt course 17,340 times, they do wear down.

Today I am really excited. The yard is nearly tamped down, the guys to install come tomorrow, and by Sunday night it will be DONE!

God it's been alot of work.

I hate golf.

The last step: leveling and tamping the putting surface, then installing the lawn:



Tomorrow I have two guys coming to my house to install the lawn. Just like the concrete patio; I did most of the grunt work, then I hired two guys to finish the job professionally.

So sunday, it will all be done.

JM

So the guys that were supposed to install the lawn....didn't even show up today.

Um, $1200 and they didn't show up... wierd...

We used to have a saying at one place I worked, "No call, no show, no job".

Any reason they would have second thoughts about doing it ?
I've always loved the jobs where all of the "grunt work" is done and all I have to do is fly in and button things up.

I actually should have expected it. I was referred to this guy from another guy, that said "he's good, but has issues with being late".

So he is currently about 9 hours late.

Still no idea if he is good.

I posted for another crew on Craigslist. I'm sure I can find a crew that will take my money.
