Wellputt Ghost Holes are a great practice tool. They work perfectly if you like to visualize the ball rolling in the hole. Let’s take a look.
I like them because they resemble a clock face.
If you are a non-linear putter, they might be for you.
They are the same diameter as a golf hole.
Here is our article on linear vs non-linear putting.
There are 8 numbers around the edge to represent a potential entry point.
I would recommend them.
They could be used as a reference if you wanted to set up 3, 6 and 9 foot putts for example.
There are 8 for 4 lines to use if you wanted extended them out to your desired length.
I do this with a tee stuck through the center and a string line that is about 12 feet long.
The ghost holes are really thin and flexible.
I like that because the ball will roll over them and past the hole.
That means you can gauge your pace.
If the ball goes in a real golf hole, there is no way of knowing exactly how far it would have rolled.

They work just as well, but don’t have the numbers on them.
You can see I tried to put line up dots on one of these using a protractor.
This is for layout the string line option I mentioned above.
Just a note. If you are putting to a hole, you can use a paper clip to hook on the flag.
Then just go around in a circle laying out ball markers.
Here is another example. I use these for longer distance where it becomes harder to see something laying flat on the green.
