What is a "Push Up" Putting Green?
Published January 4, 2004
Early golf courses were built from a mixture of soil, organic matter and sand from the site of construction. Often times the soil was pushed up and the greens were somewhat rounded in nature to construct a surface that promoted the drainage/runoff of water. While many courses still feature these type of greens, others have renovated greens to "USGA specifications" to provide a better surface.

"Instinctively we feel that one course is alive, another dead and insipid, lacking energy of expression. We look for the unexpected note and a pleasantness of line. Every curve should have a spring in it, and no straight line should ever be quite straight."
Simpson and Wethered, "The Architectural Side of Golf," 1927
