Anybody know where you can buy a decent putting mat? All the ones I seem to find in the shops are shithouse. Was hoping to find something like this one: Golf-Putting-Mat-With-2-Practice-Golf-Balls.jpg (http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00UMmTukIslFqN/Golf-Putting-Mat-With-2-Practice-Golf-Balls.jpg) .
We had one of those in my former workplace (perks of having a boss who plays golf), and I've found the same one in Drummond, but it comes in a package so you have to buy all the other shit - chipping mat, net thingy to drive your ball into and so on. I've only just started looking online, but if anyone has any leads to swing my way, that'd be seven shades of awesome.
Cheers, FJ.

I like this one heaps.
Good for feel from distances. Great for checking swing path and putter head angle alignment.

Where do you get the Sklz one cheap? Hard to find it for anything less than $100

Got mine for $90 from local House of Golf, thought it was well worth the price after using it for the things mentioned above.
I was a bit suss on what the quality would be like before it got it.

A few of us have the Boomerang Trainer. Good for distance control practice. There is a thread here somewhere;

No alignment marks on this one but cheap (not sure of length either):

My brother in law got ones of these for xmas - its quite long but is a bit cheap and nasty (we had to cover it with phone books to try and make it flat after taking it out of the package it was rolled up in)

Mine is 3m x 1m and no way I paid something like $90 (maybe!)

Ah sorry should have clarified, was refering to the grass height, not the number of metres

That looks like a good mat.

Just checked online. $49 from the Sklz website in the US, only ships US.

$129 at Rebel. Get stuffed.

Saw this one in Rebel today. Looks good, but can't see myself paying $129 for it.

Way overpriced when they are $50 in the states.
