I live in a town with no golf course. So, I don't have anywhere to practice putting. I want to recommend a great putting aide for you to use at your house. I purchased a 2 foot wide strip of indoor outdoor carpet. I bought a rubber putting cup that is called NO BOGEY PUTTING CUP. I've seen them several places but here a link

This is a great training aide. I use 3 balls and putt from 4 feet. I have to make 15 in a row to quit. It has helped my putting tons. I just played in a tournament this weekend and didn't miss anything under 5 feet. The cup is around $10. I puchased 10 for my high school golf team.
