NOTE: Games are designed to be used in a linear fashion beginning from the first game/drill and progressing from there. Golfers with the best results have adhered to these guidelines.
Golf Instructor Recommendations:
1. Use the Golf Green SpeedReader™ to measure the speed of the surface before each drill so you know what speed you are practicing.
2. Use the engraved ruler to measure the distances.
3. Play one game in one direction and another back to your starting spot.
4. Each game is designed to develop specific speed control skills. Practice inside while watching TV, during commercials, or whenever. Compete with family or friends. It's a fun, relaxing break and also helps your putting skills!
Point, distance, and shot system is for guidance. Be creative and change or add rules. Even vaccum the carpet to change the speed!

Think you are pretty good? Try basic speed matching with a blindfold over your eyes! This great game really makes you focus on the 'feel' of your putt and your ability to visualize. Try to get each ball within 6 inches of the distance. For a real challenge, try "Distance Matching" with a blindfold!
If, after developing a standardized putting stroke, you want to try to develop a standardized putting stroke for another putting speed, use the same techniques and drills you used previously.
