Answer 2

Sand is the only product recommended by manufacturers of the synthetic turf for correct installation. Why would you want to use anything else?

Answer 3

Many syn turf companies use a ground up rubber but it's used to separate the blades as well as provide cushion. I'm not sure it's fine enough for a putting green syn turf.
