3.0 out of 5 stars not too bad, but some inaccuracies in advertisement, June 28, 2008

This review is from: Wilson Golf Auto Put (Sports)

Overall, I pretty much got what I was expecting to get which was a decent practice putting mat for a lower price than some others that are offered. This could be picky, but a few things I noticed:

1 - It advertises 8 feet, but that's if the mat would actually stay perfectly straight without any creases and if you putted from the back edge of the mat; even then the hole is placed up a couple inches from the back of the mat. Because of this, you actually get around 7 1/2 feet. Not a really big deal to me, but maybe for some.

2 - It advertises a regulation size cup. I looked up what a regulation diameter is and it is 4 1/4 inches. This cup measures just a bit short of 4 inches. I actually find that to be a convenience because it makes you be a little more accurate with your putts, but it would be nice if the manufacturer actually delivered what it said.

I also noticed that if you miss your putt by just a bit thus missing the return track, the ball will stay on top of the mat defeating the purpose of returning the ball automatically. A small book underneath the back helped with that problem. Also, if you crush it there is nothing to stop the ball from going over the back edge, but if you hit it that hard you deserve the punishment of going to retrieve the ball yourself.

Overall, I'm happy with it and it gets the job done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Indoor golfing, January 14, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Wilson Golf Auto Put (Sports)

I am seven years old and I like golfing. I can golf indoors during winter now. It is challenging because it does not have guard rails; it will roll off the green if you miss the cup. It does not take batteries and the ball rolls out by itself.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Wilson Golf Auto Put (Sports)

As many other reviewers stated, mat is a little bumpy, but I expected that and I'm sure eventually it'd go flat (or you could iron it), and that alone I was ok with. What I'm not ok with is the fact that even if you do put it right in the hole, it either just sits in the hole or rolls down to the return device and just sits there. After moving the return device around at different angles I eventually got it to return one out of every 4 balls, and even then it only returned it about half way to me, even on short carpet.... I will be looking for a better return putting green.
