Case Study: Customised Putting Green for World Superbikes Racer Sam Lowes
Client Overview: To customise the putting green of Sam Lowes, a world-renowned World Superbikes racer and a passionate golfer. Sam approached Golf4Home with a request to expand his existing putting green and add 2 holes plus some custom features. As a dedicated golfer and athlete, Sam wanted to enhance his training experience while incorporating elements of his racing career into his home practice facility.
Sam and his brother Alex Lowes, have recently launched their own high-quality golf accessories business, Onit Golf. Check out their website on this link… Onit Golf | Expertly created golf products
Objective: The aim was to expand the existing putting green to provide more practice space for Sam while adding a personal flair that reflected his passion for Superbikes. The installation needed to provide a bigger space for putting and chipping practice, with additional features to make the facility both functional and visually engaging.
Solution: Golf4Home delivered a bespoke solution that not only expanded the size of the putting green but also incorporated elements of Sam’s racing background. After discussing Sam’s specific requirements and preferences, we proposed a design that would meet his needs for both putting and short-game practice.
Key Features of the Installation:
- Expanded Putting Green: The original putting green was enlarged to offer more room for practice, featuring multiple hole placements and varied contours. This expansion allowed Sam to practice different putt lengths and angles, replicating real course conditions.
- Additional Holes: In response to Sam’s request, we added 2 extra holes to provide more versatility and options for practice. The added hole also made the green more challenging, enhancing Sam’s putting skills with more varied drills.
- Racing-Themed Design: To reflect Sam’s career as a Superbikes racer, we incorporated racing-themed chequered flags into the design. These flags were strategically placed around the green, adding a personal touch while creating a dynamic atmosphere that linked his two passions.
- Premium Artificial Turf: We used Golf4Home’s high-quality synthetic turf, designed to replicate the feel and performance of real grass while offering durability and low-maintenance benefits. The new installation allowed Sam to practice with a surface that closely mimicked professional green conditions.
- Seamless Integration: The expansion and the added features were integrated seamlessly into the existing garden layout, ensuring the green remained visually appealing and functional. The design blended beautifully with Sam’s outdoor space while offering a high-performance practice environment.
Results:
The expanded putting green now offers a significantly larger and more dynamic space for Sam’s practice sessions, allowing him to work on a wider variety of putting drills and improve his short game. The addition of the extra hole brought new challenges, further enhancing his training. The chequered flags added a fun and personalized element, making the space not only functional but also an exciting reflection of Sam’s racing career.
Client Feedback: “I couldn’t be happier with the work Golf4Home has done. The expanded green gives me more room to practice, and the addition of the extra hole has definitely made my training more challenging. The chequered flags add the perfect touch to reflect my racing background, and it’s just a great space to train in. Golf4Home really nailed it – they understood exactly what I wanted.”
Conclusion: This project highlights Golf4Home’s ability to create personalised, high-performance putting greens that meet the unique needs of elite athletes. By expanding the existing green, adding an extra hole, and incorporating racing-themed elements, we provided Sam Lowes with a bespoke practice facility that aligns with both his golfing ambitions and his love for Superbikes. The result is a custom-designed training space that is both functional and fun, helping Sam continue to develop his skills on and off the track.
