McHenry, Illinois (February 13, 2009) – The Putting Game, a new system that provides fun and excitement as well precision to a golfer’s putting, debuted at the PGA Merchandise Show last month with overwhelming success.
Offering numerous games and putting challenges, The Putting Game is designed to be used indoors on a carpeted floor. It is different because it uses a “virtual cup” (not a physical cup) and is “stimp aware” to provide feedback on putt distance.
“The PGA show was a huge success as The Putting Game received an overwhelming positive response from all segments of the golf industry,” said Fred Knecht, Director of Sales and Marketing. “Small independent golf stores, club builders, youth instructors, golf instructors, golf clinics, pro shops, Tour pros, specialty gift outlets all the way up to big box retailers, valued our product.”
The system’s most popular game is Game “500”, an accuracy challenge where golfers must putt as close to the center target as possible. The LED screen lights up and leaves a mark to show where the ball actually hit. A golfer only gets five attempts. While scoring 500 is very difficult, it’s not impossible.
“During the PGA Merchandise Show, we held a mini-tournament every two hours using Game 500. People waited in line to try out The Putting Game,” said Knecht. “Young and old, all loved the Putting Game and cannot wait to own one.”
Other games are The Shrinking Hole another game of accuracy; Knockout which is a inside left, center cup, inside right drill used by many pros, and a “virtual putting green mode” where golfers can (in any size room) perfect directional accuracy and speed control on putts up to 32 feet in length.
Other features of The Putting Game include convenient foot switches for power on; game selection & reset; a unique bounce-beam design which conveniently returns the ball to you; and operates on (two “C” size batteries) or AC adapter.
