McHenry, Illinois (July 22, 2009) – Where can golfers take the most strokes off their game? Putting of course.
We all know the common golfer’s adage “Drive for show and putt for dough”. But how many golfers actually take that message to heart? Most of them would rather spend time gripping and ripping on the driving range than fine-tuning their putting stroke on the practice green. It’s just more fun nailing the long ball than it is sinking a practice putt.
That’s where The Putting Game steps in. This exciting new product allows golfers to have fun while their putting stroke improves.
“The Putting Game understands the opportunity to produce better rounds and allows you to have fun and be competitive all while improving your putting,” said Fred Knecht, Director of Sales & Marketing.
The Putting Game was created to help golfers significantly improve distance control and directional accuracy without an actual putting green. It works because it provides not only a “directional target”, but also a “distance target”.
With The Putting Game, it doesn’t matter how much space you have or what kind of putting surface you have. The device’s software creates a “virtual green” (that can be set to any green speed or Stimp) with a “virtual cup” that can be set to any distance. The patented bounce beam technology and solid steel construction allows you to setup as little as 4 feet away from the device and practice stroking (and sinking) putts of up to 32 feet in length.
“Users of The Putting Game have reported taking 4 to 5 strokes off their games within just a few weeks. This can be the most significant improvement in your game in years,” said Knecht.
The Putting Game is available at a limited number of pro shops or can be purchased online at www.ThePuttingGame.com for an MSRP of $329.00
Offering numerous games and putting challenges, The Putting Game debuted at the PGA Merchandise Show in January 2009 with rave reviews. The training aid is different than others because it uses a “virtual cup” (not a physical cup) and is “Stimp aware” to provide feedback on putt distance.
At January’s PGA Merchandise Show attendees had a chance to play The Putting Game’s “500” an accuracy challenge where golfers must putt as close to the center target as possible while trying to achieve a perfect score of 500.
“While the 5 games originally introduced on the device were a big hit with our focus groups and covered all the directional and distance control bases, we decided to take it a step further,” said Knecht. “Stack Up is the sixth game on The Putting Game, and it is very similar to the fifth game Virtual Cup 500, where directional accuracy and distance control is needed to score well.”
In Virtual Cup 500, before you start, you select a fixed putt length (5′ to 32′) and then roll 5 putts that distance to score. In the new Stack Up game, the device selects 5 different distances, one for each of the 5 putts. This mixes things up for the golfer and forces him or her to putt a wide range of distances in one game.
