  • 3-4m in length

DISTANCE CONTROL

  • During the start line test, and green reading test, observe the players ability to control distance. Around 30cm past the hole is ideal

  • Observe the players ability to putt from one edge of the green to another, with the goal being for the ball to finish as close to the edge of the green as possible

  • Every putt should be of a different distance and slope
