Select a putting or short-game task, then record your successes and misses while you practice. This lightweight scorecard works on the page without creating an account or uploading results.
Same starting line. Different arrival speed.
See a ball approach a cup at different speeds and offsets, inspired by the putting-speed concepts used in SAM PuttLab education. This is not SAM output or a validated capture model.
Choose the arrival
Press Play to compare how the ball arrives and whether our illustrative example drops, lips, or continues past.
Capture is affected by where the ball approaches the cup and how fast it arrives. A lucky make is not the same as repeatable pace control.
Illustrative capture categories only: no claim is made that a specific speed always holes a putt or that the animation predicts actual capture. Cup edge, green conditions, slope and ball behavior can change the result. The practice scorecards below remain free and session-only.
Choose a skill, complete a small set, and record attempts. Nothing is uploaded to Swing Evaluation or saved after you leave this page.
Start-line gate
Place two safe markers a short distance ahead of the ball, slightly wider than a ball. Roll ten putts and count clean passes between the markers, not just putts made.
Target: 10 attempts · 6+ clean starts
Putting distance ladder
Pick three stopping zones on a practice green. Vary the target distance for each ball. Count putts that stop in the intended zone, whether or not they drop.
Target: 9 attempts · 5+ in zone
Landing-spot ladder
Choose three safe landing zones at different short-game distances. Hit three shots to each in mixed order. Count first landings inside the intended area.
Target: 9 attempts · 5+ in zone
One-ball up-and-down
Start from a different short-game lie for each attempt, play one wedge shot, then putt out. Count success when you finish in two strokes or fewer.
Target: 6 attempts · 3+ up-and-downs
How to turn a drill into improvement
Define the target, keep the number of attempts manageable, record what happened, then change the challenge only after you understand the pattern. A successful attempt is one that meets the stated task—not necessarily a lucky hole-out.
This scorecard is session-only: reloading the page clears it. Saved sessions, personalized practice plans and progress history belong in the future Golf Locker experience.
