I decided to start working on my putting after my round yesterday. I fell in love with a putter and picked it up immediately(Scotty California Monterey). I'm looking for a putting mat to practice at home on. Does anyone know of a good one that isn't too expensive. I was looking at the SKLZ Accelerator Pro, which is the second best seller on Amazon. Any ideas? Amazon Top Sellers: http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Sports-Outdoors-Golf-Putting-Mats/zgbs/sporting-goods/3411381

Wow, those are pretty awesome. I would love to pick up one of the bigger ones, but the cheapest one is only 39.99. That's pretty hard to pass up for that kind of quality. I just need to decide between one of these and the Accelerator Pro. That 9'x2' is pretty tempting too...Thanks!

"9 ft. l ong x 16 inches wide, one cup, was $80. Now $39.99"

There is a promo if you keep reading the information when you buy the Birdieball green at the end of the checkout in the comments if you type in upgrade it will upgrade you to the next size for free.

I have one and I think it is pretty decent overall and the best value out there. It is a piece of foam though. I don't stand on mine (I have the one that is like 2x9) but I can imagine if you did it might cause long term compression. I think the tour links and a couple of others are better quality but they are like 2-5x the cost. I figure for home practice I mainly want to work on hitting the ball on a line so the birdie ball is more than good enough. I am not sure the options to add break really add much value. At the end of the day an inside putting green is not very realistic. It is too flat. However that makes it ideal for practicing line and to some extend speed (if you can make it long enough).

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
