Rule #2: Inside The Leather Is Good

Is there anything quite as irritating as missing a short putt?

It's become an epidemic. The continual missing of short putts has been diagnosed to be an insidious disease, called the Yips, and according to the Mayo Clinic it effects almost half of all mature golfers.

Recreational golfers traditionally have treated putts "inside the leather" (i.e. a putt that is less than the distance from the end of the putter head to where the grip starts) as good.

(a) SortaGolf recognizes and reaffirms this time tested practice.

(b)This innovation significantly reduces the incidence of the “Yips” and virtually eliminates the embarrassment of four putts.

When putts inside the leather are treated as good it has the added benefit of speeding up play for everyone on the course.
