"Through my company, we have been in business with Southwest Greens designing custom putting greens for homes since 2004. Based on our success, I decided to take the natural grass out of my backyard and install Golden Bear Turf, not only for my putting green, but also for a general recreation area and an ornamental lawn area for me and my family to enjoy."
