Visio Mi Template - Anyone use this?

[nevets88]

Was thinking of getting this, but thinking I can make one for myself. Kind of a low tech way to see if your path is screwy.

Looks like you just need a piece of foam poster board and a sharpie. Use a string and the sharpie to do your arc unless you have a really big compass

I have one. I use it on the putting green at home. I find it useful. I will start out practicing with no ball. Then graduate to putting a ball there then go without it. I video each one to see my progress. I like it.

We have 'em at Golf Evolution. They're stupid annoying to unroll… seriously obnoxious.

I like 'em, but… they're relatively pricy, yes.

Anyone ever attempt to flatten it so as tees aren't required to tamp it down flush to the surface? Is that even possible? Put it under books and it is still curling.

I’m tempted to try an iron through a towel.

Then books.

Huh. The one I used at Baltusrol was flat.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

They kinda suck. So hard to get flat.

It's entirely possible that they went through a ridiculous process to get it flat that I don't know about. All I know is they had a number of them and they were all flat so I just assumed they came that way.

They're nearly permanently curled from being rolled into those tubes.

This is one way to flatten it. What are those yellow things?

[iacas]

I think they're just foam things to help the guy with the path.

Mine is absolutely flat. I don't remember what I did to make it so, but I think I remember them saying that when you roll it up you should alternate the way round you put it in. I probably took it out and unrolled it, then rolled it up the other way and stuck it back in the tube for a day or two, then took it out and it was flat. I'll happily send a picture if no one believes me :)

Looks like Nerf darts.

Yep. That's what they are.
