Michael Lehrer is changing the game of golf one high-rolling
backyard at a time. Lehrer, who's a certified public accountant,
left his 80 hour-a-week number-crunch-ing job in 1996 to create
Home Green Advantage, a company that installs natural and synthetic
greens for clients ranging from Fortune 500 CEOs to former NFL All-Pro
Ahmad Rashad. Lehrer, who has been contacted by both Hillary Clinton
and Mel Gibson, has installed more than 100 putting greens in the
past four years—from backyards and basements to rooftops and
office spaces. Lehrer constructed the slippery 100 foot putting
surface for Maximum Golf's
May 23 launch party at the Central Park boathouse in New York. The
$1 million contest was aced by British Airways executive Woody Harford.
So what are Lehrer's plans for the future? "I'd like to float
a putting green in the Hudson River," he says, "and throw
another Maximum Golf party."— Wendy Straker |
