"an exceptional putting practice aid"
For a quick and quality ‘Starter’
with your Putter and FOUR of your
regular Golf Balls ready to play
on a carpet or putting mat,
place your Putt-4-Real GOLF HOLE
at the target distance of your choice
...then LINE-UP and start PUTTING.
PRACTICE AREA
Indoor Practice on a suitable
Carpet or Putting Mat
(check surfaces for speed/flow)
It is recommended that surfaces should
be lightly brushed on a regular basis.
Also playable outdoors on a Putting Mat
or other viable surfaces and practice green
Putting Stroke Rhythm
Repetitive Putt-4-Real practice with FOUR
Golf Balls will help to sustain your regular
putting stroke rhythm and consistency
on the greens at the golf course
‘LIFT->PLACE<-PUTT
This special Golf Ball ‘COLLECT & RETURN’ feature
provides superb two-way flow and fulfilment
for convenient practice with your P4R Golf Hole
Return to Sender
At the end of a sequence of four consecutive
putts, ‘LIFT’ the Putt-4-Real GOLF HOLE
above the Golf Balls, and ‘PLACE’ it at your
chosen target distance at the opposite end.
The ‘collected’ golf balls are already located
at the putting spot for ‘RETURN PUTTS’
to the Golf Hole placement at that other end.
The ‘nap’ of the putting surface may vary
the speed and line of these ‘return’ putts.
Putt-4-Real®
‘FULL HOUSE’
A sequence of FOUR consecutive
successful putts on a Hole is known as the
Putt-4-Real ‘FULL HOUSE’
Feel-Good Challenge
SELF FIX
Putt-4-Real GOLF HOLE invariably provides
a visual indication for any ‘MISSED’ putts:
SHORT Putts finish at the Front of the unit
OFF-LINE Putts finish on the Left or Right
OVER-HIT Putts finish at the Back of the unit
REVIEW & RECTIFY
Players can often review these positions to
self-fix and rectify the source of the problem.
GO to the PRO
If a problem persists, a visit to a Golf
Teaching Professional is recommended...
for experienced advice and coaching on
a putting practice green at a golf club.

‘Guide-Line ARROWS’
These unique Putt-4-Real

Relaxing ‘WARM-UPS’
An important part of your
Putt-4-Real Putting PRACTICE:
With the Putt-4-Real Golf Hole and FOUR of
your regular golf balls, it is useful to start each
warm-up session with some relaxing putts
from (say) 3ft.
Rewarding PRACTICE
Your Proper Practice Routine:
To fully maximise the outstanding qualities
of your Putt-4-Real GOLF HOLE,
always follow your repetitive
Putting ‘CHECK LIST’ Routine
Worthwhile ‘WORK OUTS’
5-10 minutes of a Putt-4-Real ‘WORK-OUT’
with your proven practice routines on a daily
or regular basis will reap POSITIVE results.
And, to stay in their comfort zone, players may
aim to practice a few ‘work-out’ putts every day.
Putt-4-Real Putting Practice ‘WORK-OUTS’
Refresh and Retain Your Rhythm
The Golf Professional
Practice Routine:
How many consecutive Putt-4-Real putts can
YOU hole from a specific distance (say) 3ft?
Choose your ‘Consecutive Putts Target
Number’ ... 10 or 20 or more?
If you miss a putt on the way to your Target
- You have to start again ... OUCH!
This routine can improve those knee-jerk 2-3
‘footers’ that can become costly ‘misses’.
"The three foot putt is as important
as the 300-yard drive"
(Henry Cotton – former Open Champion)
3ft-4ft-5ft-6ft
Golf Hole Drill
Your FOUR golf balls are ideal
for this beneficial practice drill.
Successive putts from varied
distances 3-4-5-6ft (approximately).
Starting with the 3ft putt, proceed
to putt each one in order.
Distance variation can improve concentration.
5ft-6ft-7ft-8ft DRILL is an Advanced Challenge
‘FULL HOUSES’
Four consecutive successful putts on a Hole
is one Putt-4-Real ‘FULL HOUSE’.
How many consecutive ‘FULL HOUSES’
can you build... 2 or 4 or 6 or more?
Scatter Practice
Simply roll your FOUR golf balls onto the
playing surface and putt to the
all-directional Putt-4-Real Golf Hole
from wherever they lie.
Taking the predictability out of your
practice can serve to improve your
lining-up and adaptability.
LONG Putt PRACTICE:
If you have the available space, it is always
practical to include some long putt practice. By
lining-up and following your proven routine you
should endeavour to finish each putt within
close proximity to the Putt-4-Real Golf Hole,
for a simple tap-in for two.
Eliminating those ‘card-busting’
three-putt situations will certainly help
your scoring at the golf course

MATCH PLAY STABLEFORD 'SKINS'
PRACTICE-While-TWO-Play
Putt-4-Real has exclusively devised these
authentic GOLF GAME Formats.
An inspiring new way to putt, practice
and play, for two golfers (family or friends)
that introduces a competitive golfing edge
and a realistic ‘touch of tension’ with the
occasional ‘clutch putt’.
Equipment:
Putt-4-Real GOLF HOLE
Two PUTTERS – Two PLAYERS
GOLF BALLS – Two per player
Two alternate putts per player per Hole
To line-up a putt, players may place
the golf ball at the ‘putting spot’ by hand,
or with their foot or Putter.
The ‘putting spot’ is the position
from where putts are taken
Two Ball Markers - If playing on a carpet, the
‘Playing Area’ (target distances) can be indicated
by placement of a Ball Marker (or coin) at
each end of the two-way game zone.
Putt-4-Real®
Game Formats:
Games are often played from 6ft (or plus)
distance per Hole on carpet or putting mat.
Player(s) agree the playing distance for the
whole game prior to ‘teeing off on the first’.
Winner of the pre-game ‘toss-up’ will play
the ‘first’ putt on the first Hole, and their
opponent will play the ‘second’ putt
on the first Hole.
Any putt that finishes ‘short’ of the Golf Hole
should be removed before the next putt.
Putting from an angle is allowed if level
or behind the Marker at the ‘putting spot’.
LIFT->PLACE<-PUTT
This special Putt-4-Real ‘BALL RETURN’ feature
creates a nice flow to the game for both players.
SCORING
Players putt alternately through each sequence of
four putts per Hole (two per player).
Scoring systems vary with each of the formats
MATCH PLAY, STABLEFORD, ‘SKINS’.
The player who gains the most points or wins a
Hole will putt ‘first’ on the next Hole.
If both players score the same, the
‘order of play’ remains as previous.
Players update their ongoing scores
after each Hole.
A full sequence of four putts must be completed
before an outright WINNER is declared
for any Game.

‘EQUIPMENT’ and basic detail as outlined
in the Game Formats section
Game Format:
Players choose to play 9 or 18 Holes of
competitive golf on a carpet or putting mat.
Game playing distance (often 6ft or plus)
agreed before ‘tee-off’.
SCORING:
Players putt alternately throughout each
sequence of four putts per Hole
(two putts per player)
The player who wins a Hole

must successfully ‘hole’ more putts than
their opponent:
A hole-winning score can be any of the following
‘holed-putts’ numbers: 2-0 or 2-1 or 1-0.
If the scores are level on the Hole:
2-2 or 1-1 or 0-0, the Hole is HALVED
(No Point is awarded to either player
and ‘Order of Play’ remains the same).
Players update the Match Play SCORE after each Hole.
This may be quoted in Points scored
– or the ‘margin’ of Points.
Example: Player leading 3-1 is 2 UP
and their opponent 1-3 is 2 DOWN.
Game Over:
After 9 or 18 Holes, the player who wins
the most Holes/Points is the WINNER
of this Putt-4-Real MATCH PLAY golf game.

unassailable lead before the full number
of Holes is completed.
If the FINAL scores are ‘ALL-SQUARE’,
the players may declare a drawn ‘halved’ game
Or, they may continue with a ‘PLAY OFF’
format until one player wins a Hole outright.

‘SKINS’ Game
There are countless theories about the origins
of the popular golf game of ‘SKINS’.
One of the sources relates to an age-old
golf gambling game where players carried their
‘stake money’ in leather skin bags from which
the game became known as ‘SKINS’.
Putt-4-Real®
Competitive
‘SKINS’
‘EQUIPMENT’ and basic detail as outlined
in the Game Formats section
Game Format:
Two golfers play 9 (or 18) Holes – as agreed
prior to the commencement of the Game.
Putt-4-Real ‘SKINS’ is often played from
6ft (or plus) distance on a suitable Carpet
or a Putting Mat – the game playing
distance is agreed before ‘teeing off’.
Players putt alternately in sequences of
four putts per Hole (two putts per player)
SCORING:
In this game a ‘Point’ is known as a ‘SKIN’.
To win a Hole and score a SKIN (Point) a player
must successfully ‘hole’ more putts than
their opponent:
The SKIN is awarded if either player wins the
Hole by the following score: 2-0 or 2-1 or 1-0.
If scores are level on a Hole: 2-2 or 1-1 or 0-0
– the SKIN (Point) is carried forward to the
next Hole where the players will be playing
to win TWO SKINS.
If the scores are level on the following Hole
– THREE SKINS are available on the next Hole
...and so on.
The total number of SKINS (Points) is increased
by ONE on every Hole until a player wins a
Hole outright. The player who wins a Hole
will putt first on the next Hole.
After a player wins a Hole and SKIN(s)
the next Hole is always played for ONE SKIN.
Players check the scores and SKINS
after each Hole.
Game Over:
When 9 (or18) Holes are FULLY completed the
WINNING margin is calculated by the difference
in the total number of SKINS that have been
won by each player.
Winning margin of the victory can be important.
UNCLAIMED SKINS
at the completion of the last Hole:
Normally players will not play any further.
However, if they have agreed, before the start of
the game, that they would ‘PLAY ON’ until the
ongoing SKINS are won ... the overall result
will be scored on that basis.
