Putting is one of the most important and often overlooked areas of the golf game.  In fact it’s one of the areas of the golf game that is easily improved and is guaranteed to lower your score dramatically.

Lots of golfers often find it difficult to practice putting because they are not so sure of what they should be practicing or their practice facilities are not up to a good standard.

The Callaway Kick Back Putting Cup allows you to practice in your own home or office and the great thing about it is that you don’t have to go and retrieve your ball when you make a good putt.  The kick back putting cup as the name suggests will return the golf ball back to you.After all you want to be rewarded for making an excellent putt and if you don’t you will have to go and get your ball.

The Callaway Kick Back Putting Cup is easy to setup very portable and only requires the use of 2 “C” batteries to power the returning mechanism.The unit is quiet and sturdy.

Putting should be practiced twice as long as the time you spend on your full shots the reason for this is that you actually use the putter twice as much on the golf course so it would make sense that you should practice with putter twice as much but as we all know not many of us do.

Taking a standard par 4 for example you would normally tee of with a wood or driver depending on the course and distance and then hit an approach shot with an iron then that leaves you with 2 putts for par.

So by practicing with the Callaway Kick Back Putting Cup you will be able to practice any time and in any conditions which will allow you to make less putts per round and in turn will lower your golf score.

Putting is one of the most overlooked areas of most golfers golf games but is the most critical.  In fact the putter is the most used club in a round of golf,  so why don’t we practice putting as much as driving?

Every hole on the golf course allows for two putts to make par which means the putter is being used twice per hole.

Practicing putting can be hard as there is not always adequate putting facilities at all golf courses and they can be poorly maintained.  This is where indoor putting mats have a great advantage.

The Izzo putting mat is 6ft long so an ideal distance for putting, this is the distance a lot of golfers find themselves in not only to make par but birdies as well.Izzo’s cup on their putting mat is smaller than a regulation cup on the golf course so it teaches precision and accuracy, so when your on the golf course the cup is going to look like a big hole which will instill excellent confidence.

The putting mat is rated at a 14 stimpmeter speed which is the regulation putting speed for most golf course greens.  The Izzo putting mat has a lake and sand trap around the cup to catch missed puts.

One of the many benefits of the indoor putting mat is that you can put at any time that you like, you don’t have to worry about the weather.  You can add slope to the putting mat by placing objects underneath it.  For example you could make a little ramp that can fit underneath the putting mat which can help with putting up hill or down hill.

Because putting and the putter is a club that we use on every hole we should be practicing our putting twice as long as we would spend on driving and irons.  The putting mat is easy to setup and you can practice non stop every day and the best way to lower your golf score is to lower the amount of putts that we have.
