Hi Gang.
About 3 years ago my neighbor started working on putting a golf green in the middle of his backyard. It started with dirt taken from the side of a hill at the bottom of his yard and lots of leveling and contouring. He maintains it pretty well and each year it  improves. It's still a touch rough around the edges, but fun to use and it looks pretty nice. Today we had the first "Bedlem Knob Invitational".  LOL.  I was responsible for supplying the tee area and fairway. What a good excuse to do some serious striping with the Simplicity roller deck. All in all, we had a pretty good time on our basic chip and putt hole. If we hit from up by my shed it was a par 3, straight to the green. From the back tee it was a dog leg left par 4. You could lay up on the flat, or if you had the nuts, you go over the apple trees.  LOL   Needless to say, we won't be turning pro anytime soon. Heres a few pics.

Heres a shot from my deck looking back at the tee area.


Heres a shot of most of the fairway from up by the green.

Heres a shot of the green. Notice the quiet sign to the right.

Heres me with my pasty white legs, sinking a par putt. I think the only one. Tough little green.

Hi AJace. I always liked the Simplicity cut. The rollers are standard, I think,  on their decks. I haven't named my tractor yet, but I have called it a piece of azz. Yikes.  OPE madness. As far as my golf game, I've been playing since I was a kid and the only thing consistent about my game is it's inconsistent. Some days I'm a champ, and somedays I'm a chump. But it's fun.

Thanks AZ. Always fun to share some pics.                                                                                                                   Kevin
