Influenceable &
Non-Influenceable Factors

Conditions

ON THE GREEN

The game of golf can bring endless joy, but also frustration, especially when a putt misses by three feet. For amateurs, about 33 percent of all strokes are putts, for professionals up to 42 percent. Therefore, putting should be practiced intensively and, above all, correctly.

However, not all conditions on the green are always the same. So we distinguish between the factors that you as a golfer cannot influence and the factors that you can influence and control yourself.

If all the influenceable factors are well coordinated when putting, your putting will be reliable and predictable. So if you want to putt perfectly and repeatably, you should know these factors and be able to deal with them.

NON-INFLUENCEABLE FACTORS

Granted, you have little influence on the condition of the green. But even in adverse conditions on the golf course, you should use options that the rules allow you.

INFLUENCEABLE FACTORS

Some factors are in your hands!

Therefore, optimize the factors that you can influence in training as well as in the game!

EXEMPLARY VALUES

THE SPEED OF THE GREEN IS MEASURED WITH STIMPMETER

Meaning: Putt-lenght: Stimpmeter:
fast over 300 cm 10 to 12
medium 240 to 300 cm 8 to 10
slow 180 to 240 cm 6 to 8
