Measured home putting practice

Practice your start line at home in 15 focused minutes.

For recreational golfers who want a clear routine, GolfGNG turns a small indoor space into a repeatable session without pretending that a living-room floor is a putting green.

The measured-practice method

Make one variable observable before adding difficulty.

Home practice is most useful when the setup is repeatable, the task is narrow, and the result is recorded honestly. It cannot reproduce every green, slope, or pressure condition.

Check the space

Confirm distance, clearance, and whether the surface creates an obvious repeatable bias.

Choose one task

Work on a single observable problem such as start line or setup consistency.

Record the result

Use a small count or note instead of relying on how the session felt.

Retest before progressing

Repeat the same conditions, then check transfer outdoors when practical.

New to structured practice?

Start with a baseline, not a shopping list.

A few repeatable observations can show whether you need a clearer routine, a surface check, qualified help, or eventually a piece of equipment.

Follow the Start Here path
  1. Measure the usable distance and clearance.
  2. Check the surface for a consistent directional bias.
  3. Create a small, repeatable baseline.
  4. Change one thing, then retest.

DIY before product

Use the simplest setup that answers the question.

A ruler, two coins, tees, tape, or a basic gate can each reveal something different. GolfGNG will not recommend a product where a safe household setup does the job.
