TRANSCRIPT
When I first arrived on site I was struck by the beauty of this location but was also overwhelmed by the magnitude of
Terry Anton’s SNAG golf project. My immediate response was Terry is crazier than I am! I had spent two years
planning and designing my backyard landscape project, turning my yard into my own private oasis with panel based
technology, and now Terry was surpassing me, transforming his backyard into a country club quality golf course to
showcase his SNAG golf system with our patented interlocking UltraBaseSystemsTM panels.
Snag Golf - Tahlequah, OK
It became obvious the team at SNAG was not fooling around. Heavy equipment was everywhere and yards and yards of earth
and tons of rock and boulders were being sculpted into one man’s vision for the future of golf.
After much planning the UltraBaseSystems panels were delivered and staged around this four acre site along with the pre cut nylon turf and fringe.
The existing rocky ground was graded to the
best our ability and stone dust was brought in
where needed to create contours and proper
drainage pitch.
Due to the severe topographic changes on this
sloped piece of real estate stone dust was needed
on several of the six greens to create the proper
drainage and desired slope.
The stone dust was meticulously graded,
compacted and rolled. Several greens
were being built at the same time by Tour
Links and UltraBaseSystems president
Dave Barlow and the hard working crew of
Shane Hughes and Hughes Golf Greens,
one of the best installers in the business.
Once the topography was correct the UltraBaseSystems geo fabric was installed.
Panels were then carefully staged on to the fabric and installation began; standard operating procedures for gaps etc.
These six 1000-15000 sq ft greens
were no match for this crew.
The pre-cut turf was laid in place and dry fit with the fringe. Three different styles of greens totaling six greens were created as
well as six 10 ft x 10 ft tee boxes.
This minimal fill putting turf was glued and
carefully seamed by installation expert
Shane Hughes.
Panels were eventually cut following the shape of the pre cut turf and the turf is stapled, tucked and trimmed.
In a little over a week tees and greens
were complete and the task of final
landscaping, sod and all the spectacular
design features were installed.
