Big Moss Golf started as a tool I needed to become a better golfer. After playing golf for about a year I realized that I would not get any better unless I practiced everyday, or at least as much as possible.
When I would play with seasoned golfers, I would ask them what it takes to get better, and I kept hearing the same thing -- "TIME OVER THE BALL."
So I started going to the driving range whenever I had a spare minute, but the time and money I spent was becoming a problem (just ask my wife). I was practicing almost everyday and over the course of a summer I developed a pretty good swing. But after shooting a decent round (at that time a 95 was decent), I would I would follow it up with a 105 and go home pretty frustrated.
I was hitting the ball fairly well but around the greens I was just horrible. No touch, no feel, I just could not score. I purchased a cheap putting strip with an automatic ball return and used that quite a bit. It helped me but my scores did not come down. After two months of regular use, the strip was near the end of it's lifespan.
I then purchased a 3' x 9' putting green for $59.00, it was shaped more like a green, but after about two weeks it was permanently wrinkled and rolled poorly. Basically, it was a piece of low-grade green felt with an edging. It was not made well at all. It gave me the illusion that I was practicing, I had the putter in my hands, but I never improved because it did not look nor roll like a real green at all.
At the time I was working in the flooring industry, and was removing some very low-cut carpet out of a nearby church. The carpet was worn a green color and was in really great condition. As I was lugging it out to the dumpster I had a great idea, I'll make a putting green out of the carpet! So I loaded up the van with a few pieces of the carpet and took it home.
After making my first prototype (this thing was really crude), I showed a few friends. They liked it, but they were honest with me and said it was "just a piece of carpet with a hole in it." The ball tracked and the carpet grooved so every putt funneled to the hole after a few weeks of play. Everyone I asked about a practice green made out of carpet said the same thing -- "carpet won't work," "its slow," "it leaves a groove," "it's not realistic," etc. Well I had a different idea...
I loved the way I had hand-cut and shaped the green I made with subtle curves and contours. All the other practice greens on the market were machine-cut rectangles -- no feeling at all. Now all I had to do was find a surface that rolls like a green. To make a long story short, I searched high and low and found a commercial nylon floor covering that didn't track, was extremely fast, and rolled true. I was very excited. I made the second prototype of my design and it looked and felt great.
My friends and I were playing on it every time they came over to visit. When my wife and I would invite friends over they would say "should we bring our putters?" We would play an 18-hole game on the green that was just a gas! Everyone really enjoyed it. Everyone also kept telling me I should "market this putting green!"
So I started asking myself, Who could I confide in that would help me test-market this putting green idea? Someone who knows golf and has a sharp business sense to know if something like this would fly. The first person that came to mind was my brother-in-law, Ken Molnar. Ken has golfed most of his life and I remembered being at his house for a family party and seeing several sets of clubs in his basement along with every gadget pertaining to golf. If anyone would know if there's a market for this, he would. So I invited Ken over for a test-run. He loved the concept, but we agreed it was far from ready for the marketplace.
After more research, we found that there was nothing on the market that was shaped like a putting green, and not only can you putt on ours, but we found you can chip on it as well! We both felt we had a winning product idea and became very interested in creating and perfecting a tool the golfer could place in her home, office, or anywhere (it's portable), that would help them become better players. This was about the time Big Moss Golf was born.
We both decided to go into business with Ken handling the sales and operations and I would be responsible for product development. Chris, Ken's younger brother, came on board as the marketing and web development manager.
In the meantime, I was determined to create the finest putting and chipping green on the market. We put our heads together and participated in a few trade shows and the response was overwhelmingly positive. We knew we had a winner...
We now have our surface specially-designed for Big Moss Putting & Chipping greens, and our foundations are cut to our precise specifications. We have added Break Snakes for varying the terrain and chipping mats. We also try to keep our greens affordable, so every golfer can enjoy his own Big Moss without a crippling investment. We offer a 6' x 15' putting green for under 500.00. That's a lotta green folks!
Now back to my golf game. This all started back in 1996, and like I said, I was lucky to break 100. Since starting Big Moss, I practice year-around on my putting and chipping and have improved dramatically. And the thing the better players told me when I started -- time over the ball -- is all true! In the 1999 golf season I broke 80 twice, won my league championship, and had my handicap unbelievably at a 10! That's a drop of over twenty points in one year. I feel I can putt and chip with the best of 'em. There is no reason you cannot do the same with your golf game.
We feel we have created one of the best Short Game Systems in the world. The versatility of this product teaches us to score without having to spend countless hours at the range, or thousands of dollars on so-called straighter-hitting clubs, balls, swing gadgets, titanium from mars, or whatever! Its all about practice. You need to learn how to score, and I give you my personal guaranty that if you purchase a Big Moss Putting Green, and practice putting and chipping on it for a half-hour a day, your scores WILL come down. Or send it back for a full refund. I guaranty it.
