Amazon Finds: Putting Mat

Introduction

Golf putting mats are essential for golfers looking to improve. MyGolfSpy’s comprehensive article on the best putting mats of 2023 covers high-quality options but the vast selection on Amazon can make choosing the right one challenging. In this review, we delve into the Golf Putting Mat, a versatile solution for golfers seeking value and performance.

The Problem

When looking for a putting mat on Amazon, you’re faced with numerous choices, which can be confusing. Many reviewed mats tend to be pricier, leaving budget-conscious buyers with many options but not a lot of reliable information on more affordable golf putting mats.

The Solution

Could the Golf Putting Mat be a simple and effective solution for budget-conscious golfers who want an indoor golf putting mat? It features clear markings for distances, target, swing path and stroke length, potentially making it a viable putting mat option for any golfer.

How I Found It

During my search for the Saplize Putting Mat, the Golf Putting Mat stood out to me due to its appearance, price and simplicity. Despite having only three reviews on Amazon, all were five stars. With its low price and suitable size for indoor putting practice it seemed ideal. I thought it would complement my Saplize mat for use in my office or at home. 

How It Worked (or Didn’t)

My expectations were high when I received the Golf Putting Mat. As I unboxed it, I noticed that the bottom material, weight, size and feel were nearly identical to the Saplize Two-Speed Putting green. I have previously reviewed the Saplize Putting Mat and enjoy using it as my main practice putting mat. It rolled out smoothly with the rubber backing providing good grip, preventing slipping or shifting.
