Michael Lehrer knows why people love golf.
“There’s such skill involved,” Mr. Lehrer said. “There’s a challenge in hitting that perfect shot. It’s so elusive. You can keep searching forever for that perfect swing. That’s what draws you in and keeps you coming back to it.”
And Mr. Lehrer isn’t just talking about his own passion for the game. As president of Home Green Advantage, he’s worked with homeowners all over Connecticut and New York to bring the challenge and fun of the golf course right to their homes. Since he started his business in 1996, Mr. Lehrer has installed 375 personal putting greens, tee boxes, sand traps and even three-hole mini courses for golfers both casual and religious.
Market Watch
The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have passed a bill that included an extension and expansion of the present home buyer tax credit. Current homeowners are now eligible for the tax credit. The president last week signed the bill into legislation. National Association of Realtors (NAR) economists estimate the current tax credit contributed about $22 billion to the overall economy. NAR also estimated that about two million people will take advantage of the tax credit.
