The Rusty Shovel Presents – Drive The Green SK Golf Bracket

/0 Comments/in , /by

Over the next little bit, you’ll see that we’re the presenting sponsor of the Drive The Green Saskatchewan Golf Bracket.

There are a few reasons we thought this was a good fit:

1. Host Matty B has been a Friend of The Shovel for a long time.

2. Sean loves golf and wants to support conversations around the game that’s been such a big part of his life – even if after 30 years of playing, he’s still pretty lousy.

3. We’ve got a pretty awesome line of artificial turf products that might be of interest to the golfers in the crowd looking for backyard putting and chipping green options.

We can ship throughout the province, can help you with DIY installs or line you up with one of our contractor referral partners for installation.

4. We’re proud to be a local company supporting local content.

So we’d invite you to follow along on IG and Twitter and get your votes in for your favourite courses. First bracket voting is open now!

We’ve taken the guess work out of installing a home putting green by introducing our new DIY Putting Green Kits. For the first time ever, you can now install your own putting green by simply laying out some shapes and putting them together without making a single cut. Using the same quality Bella Turf products that are proven and trusted across Canada, our Putting Green Kits will look and perform just like those installed by the pros.

We offer these Putting Green Kits in both 10×13 and 13×20 sizes. The 10×13 kit comes in a soft curved kidney bean shape and the 13×20 kit comes in both the kidney bean shape, as well as a widened offset hourglass shape. All kits include a 16 inch grass fringe border that is pre-cut to fit the shape of your green. All supplies required for above base installation are included in your kit. Quantities of gravel required are listed for both sizes below, these products can be found at your local landscape centre or rock quarry.
