The look and the ask

Putting Courses is shaped by ramps, humps, rails, and pace puzzles. For putting-course touch, the course asks you to match imagination with discipline, whether that means changing pace, flight, or target. A player who reads the ground first usually enjoys putting courses more than a player who only sees the flag.

What changes for the golfer

  • Targets in putting courses: the safe area is often wider than the perfect line.
  • Pace in putting courses: landing spot and rollout beat raw force.
  • Miss pattern in putting courses: choose the acceptable error before the club moves.
