You can also use Epson Salt according to the directions on the package. You can buy it at any pharmacy or some garden stores.
Also, you might consider an iron supplement. It doesn't actually "feed" the grass like fertilizer. Also, it doesn't green the plants as long as nitrogen, which is the greening agent in fertilizer, and must be reapplied more often. Happily, iron doesn't make the grass grow faster and thus mowing chores are not aggravated. Also, I don't think you can damage the plants like you can if you put too much on like you can do with fertilizer. Most people just use fertilizer, because it has other effects, such as a thicker lawn.
There has been some concern regarding fertilizers and other chemicals used on lawns, such as phosphate runoff and runoff of herbicides and insecticides. I don't think this issue exists with iron supplements.
Nitrogen is what makes your yard green. Nitrogen also makes it grow extremely fast, so be prepared to mow a lot more often. I used all kinds of fertilizers over the years and kept looking at my neighbor's, which had the greenest lawn. I realized they were using Scott's. I started, and now mine stays green all year.
You can tell the amount of nitrogen in the fertilizer by checking the numbers on the package, which are always N-P-K, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium. Nitrogen causes greenup and leaf growth, phosphorous healthy root growth, and potassium aids in spreading. In my area with my grass I'm supposed to add about 4 lbs of total nitrogen per 1000 square feet of grass per year, but generally I'm too lazy and cheap. Again, in my area it's generally best to add about half of it between September and November, but you should check with you local extension office, or check to see of your stage ag college has a web site with grass growing advice.
For starters, you could take a look at the link below, but seek local sources that will give you the right information for your climate, soil, and grass.
Lawn care is a year long process that has many steps along the way. Each season requires different lawn care maintenancetechniques so it isn't as simple as saying, "this is how you care for a lawn".
First, you must decide whether or not you want a landscaper take over Spring lawn care for you, otherwise get ready to roll up your sleeves. I came across this great Spring Lawn Care Tips & advice http://homefellas.com/blog/spring-lawn-care.hf
The quick answer would be that high quality artificial grass putting greens should not require much maintenance. The main thing you should take care of, it's the putting green surface that should always be free of debris and particles that could ruin the golfing experience
It's not much hassle if you are willing to brush the artificial green using a low-medium grade push broom....
Apply nitrogen fertilizer containing iron. Water in thoroughly.

I like green. Green is a color of the rainbow. He is green with envy. Help keep our planet green by recycling. The grass is green. Green is a good color, green is the color of the grass, green is the color of the leaves on the trees, green is the color of Kermit the Frog.
Basically that if something is green and they say green as grass then Its the colour of grass. Obvs. :L
