Golfer invents putting machine
Chandigarh, March 20 He claimed the machine is the original invention that will improve the skill level of players as well as introducing another technological advancement in golf in the form of a new speed reading unit for Greens, thereby offering better performance for golfers. “More than 80 per cent of the professional golfers achieve only about 60
per cent of their Putting potential during competition and these numbers are much lower for an average golfer. With this aid, they can improve to a large extent,” said Mann. This machine was invented after nearly two years of research and was tested for the past six months. CSR Reddy, president of the Chandigarh Golf Academy, said normally, golfers adapt to Greens with a
lot of effort, varying from course to course and their performance varies dramatically because of the difference in the speed of greens
and climate. “With this exciting innovation making its way into golf, we aim to bring golf under new technology ambit,” he added. Jessie Grewal, Director National Golf Academy of India said: It will help in making performance of a golfer consistent so they are not forced to rely on guess work. Another the advantages of “Falcon Eye” will be Green mapping of golf courses, helping superintendents to measure and maintain true speed even on difficult patches." |
