17. 2nd Green WDGC ~ USGA construction detailThe following is the 2004 revision of the USGA Recommendations for the advised method of Putting Green Construction. For more than 40 years the USGA recommendations for green construction have been the most widely used method of green construction throughout the United States and in many other parts of the world. When built and maintained properly, USGA greens have provided consistently good results for golf courses over a period of many years. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and updated as a result of scientific research and as new techniques and materials are proven reliable. This diagram specifically represents the USGA Green Section's recommendations for green construction, adapted for use by West Derby Golf Club and should be viewed with other diagrams available.
