Congratulations on your purchase of the Tour Links Training Aid system. You are well on

your way to saying goodbye to three putts forever.

The Tour Links Training Aid comes in 2 different sizes. Simply follow the set up

instructions and you’re ready to go. You will notice that the foot stand can be used on

either side for left and right-handed golfers and positioned anywhere along the length of

the green to create a variety in length of putts.

The Training Aid comes with six different devices designed to give immediate feedback on

your putting stroke.

The String Guide is used to indicate club path. It will become obvious if your club is

following down a straight path to the hole or running inside out or outside in. Work on

creating the path that consistently results in the ball following the path of the string

directly into the cup.

The Stroke Groover Block was designed for several different exercises. Firstly if you flip

the Block over you will see that a golf ball can be inserted into the depression and

marked to create an even line on the ball to aid in alignment. This mark is totally legal to

use on the course and is great for lining up putts. Place the ball under the string with the

line on the ball directly under the string. When you strike the ball you will quickly see if

the ball was stuck pure by watching to see if the line on the ball rolls end-over-end or if

it wobbles down the green. We are looking for a very smooth end-over-end roll on the

ball.

Position the Stroke Groover on the opposite side of the string from your body. You will

see that the block has numbers on top. Place the 0 directly across from the ball. When

putting use the numbers to make sure that your follow through is equal to or longer than

your back stroke. This will help in preventing deceleration. The block is also used to

control club path. Position the block in such a way that the toe of the putter just barely

touches the block. Now take you normal stroke. Try to keep the toe against the block for

the length of the stroke. This will begin to give you the feeling of being square at impact.

This can be used in either a pendulum style stroke or an arc style stroke. If your natural

stroke is an arc, position the block in the same manner but try not to bump the block on

your backstroke or follow through. This will tell you if you are creating a perfect arc

during your swing.

At the very end of the green you placed a small white hash mark in the middle of the

rear panel. With the flag stick in the hole and your body positioned on the foot stand,

take your natural putting stance. Lean your body in or out, or adjust your stance forward

or back until the strip disappears behind the flag stick. Once the white strip disappears,

your eyes are directly over the ball, the position that all great putters strive for. Begin to

practice your stroke. Repetition is the key. Once you feel confident, remove the block and

the string and continue your practice session.

As you begin to feel more and more comfortable, you can now remove the flag stick and

drop in the cup reducing ring. This is a great tool for teaching yourself to aim for the

center of the cup.

You can begin to practice subtle breaks by placing the foam contour pads under the

carpet as shown in this manual. You can easily achieve left to right and right to left

breaks. The string guide can also be moved along the back panel to continue to act as an

alignment guide for breaking putts. Remember that every putt is a straight putt, so use

the string guide on breaking putts as well as straight putts.

If you continue to practice regularly you will be amazed at the confidence you can build

with you new stroke. All it takes is a little dedication and Tour Links.

INDOOR/OUTDOOR PLAY

Different outdoor and indoor environmental

elements will cause possible expansion and

contraction of the turf and the base. This

putting green was designed to be used for

play both indoors and outdoors.

Assemble on level surface: For optimal play,

assemble on a hard, flat surface. The base is

made of a strong material but over a long

period of time will relax to conform to the

level of the surface underneath. The green

will only be as level as the surface below. If

the surface is not level, measures may be

taken to construct a level playing surface.

Portability: All of the panels interlock for

ease of assembly and disassembly. To move

or store the putting green you must

disassemble EACH interlocking panel from

each other for safety in moving. Two

people are required for safe assembly and

disassembly.

Moving cup: The mobility of the cup was

designed so the cup could always be lined

up under the hole cut outs of the turf. The

cup will not move during play.

Drainage: Spacing between the joints of

the panels allows the drainage of water off

the deck when used outdoors.

FOR THIS PROCEDURE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW

THIS WARNING COULD

RESULT IN SERIOUS

INJURY AND/OR

PROPERTY DAMAGE.

If at all possible, allow the turf to lay flat in the sun for a few hours to

relax. Unrolling the turf in a warm room will also work. Place the turf on

the panels. Push the turf all the way back to the cup end of the panels.

The turf will be long. After 24 hours, use the paper template to trim turf

for a perfect fit. Simply place the template on the end panel fitting into

the round corners. Peel off the paper exposing the tape (tape facing

upwards). Carefully lower the turf onto the panels and press down on

the turf. This will adhere the template to the rear of the turf. Simply

mark around the template with a pen of a Sharpie and cut fit using a pair

of sharp scissors or razor knife. Putting turf is a living textile and by

providing it long and allowing the turf to acclimate, we can assure a

great fit every time.

Cup (18) can be moved to line up with hole in turf.

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Clean panels with a soft damp cloth. Carefully sweep/vacuum turf. To clean

the bump rails, use any automotive black bumper conditioner found in any

auto parts store.

• When rolling up turf for storage, always roll loosely with greenside in.

• Do not crease turf.

• For outdoor application: If unit will not be in use for an extended period of

time, roll turf with green side in and store turf and accessory pieces indoors.

• Disassemble unit before moving.

• A light coating of silicone spray on the ball retriever will help with any sticking

that might occur in the cup.

Carefully lift turf and place foam pad breaks in locations shown for putt variations.
