Check out the Amazon reviews on that Putt n' Hazard system, as it was ranked a strong 1 out of 5 (1 is the worst score).

Amazon Page for ClubChamp Putt n' Hazard

It is odd to have a simulated water hazard and bunker inches from the hole, unless that was their clever way to explain having ball returns for missed putts so close to the hole.

There's another putting mat-system that allows adjustable breaks by Extreme Greens, but they are a little more expensive (from $459 and up).

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

Other than the mat and net I would say the other items are a waste of money and provide absolutely no benefit.

- Tru-break: I have never used this, but I can guess it will not roll anything like a break on a real green. I think you are better off with something like the "boomerang" putting mat. I have one and it works great. I think I paid $30-$40...

- Teego: Really??? Just use your club and rake another ball in.....FREE

- Chipping net: Just chip to a stick or some other object in the yard......FREE

You would probably be better off putting on the carpet. But the mat and net are a good idea.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

FYI, I bought a net off of eBay I think for around $70. It was brand new and has worked fine. $160 seems fairly high. I would buy a cheaper net and spend more money on a quaility mat.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      I’ve recently started KBs too and really enjoy it. I have one day of armour building complex and one day of a mobility routine. Adding in a speed training day too.    which routines do you do @Elmer

      Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!

      What @DeadMan said. From the satellite it looks like there's tall grass to the right, long of the fairway post-dog-leg. But left it just looks like regular rough all the way to the neighboring tee boxes. If that's true I'm aiming left edge of the green and bombs away every time, hoping for a 30-70 yard up and down opportunity.

      What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.
