Abstract
Designed to provide real-world, controlled-contour putting greens; this project uses elastic, spring-tensioned turf with pneumatic actuators. The 8'x15' green features four pods whose heights can be adjusted through an intuitive control panel. The entire system is equipped with complete green tilting and ball return features.
