I was told a while back to use the following formula to determine which set of tees to play: 5 iron carry distance X 36, for example, say I carry my five iron 175 yards. Multiply by 36 (175 x 36 = 6300). Find a set of tees as close to 6300 as you can on the course you are playing. NOTE: This method calls for carry distance, not carry and roll! It seems to work for me. Good Luck!

Well, I never win these things. But you say there's a chance!

Tom, Fairfax Station, Va I have a basic, astroturf type mat. Current mat does not simulate realistic grass conditions. It seems to do better on concrete than carpet. Looking to replicate speeds that "stimp" around 10.

Fairfax Station, Va Gummies Try to keep my mind in the game, wishing I had better focus instead of getting distracted by poor etiquite of others. I wear a FitBit and occasionally use the "Map my Walk" from Under Armour app on mt phone as it also offers a golf choice.

Update: I recently played a course with standard cup placement and a short piece of 1 & 1/2" pvc pipe at the bottom of the cup. I think this is my favorite adaptation so far. PVC piece was short enough to allow room in the cup and I did not see any putts affected (positively or negatively) during play. Would have been a great day if I wouldn't have had a poor putting day! Fairways and greens MyGolfSpy friends!

During this time of pandemic, I have played courses with both the "pool noodle" and the upside-down cup options. I really don't like either, as they appear to affect putts either adversely or occasionally positively (keeping a ball in the hole that should have lipped out). Of the two, the upside down cup option seems to be the more consistent option as it allows a more uniform depth of cup option.

Fun to see everyone's top ten courses. Here are mine: 10. TPC Potomac at Avenel FArm 9. Kapalua, The Bay Course (Plantation Course was being built when I was there) 8. TPC Scottsdale 7. Harbour Town, Hilton Head 6. Pelican Hill 5. Pinehurst #4 4. Pebble Beach 3. Pasatiempo 2. Spyglass Hill 1. Pinehurst #2
