Live on Indiegogo, PUTTR is a smart, connected putting green with app, single & multiplayer games and next-gen stats.
Los Angeles, United States - October 25, 2021 /MarketersMEDIA/ —
PUTTR, the revolutionary new smart putting green that lets golfers stay connected and compete in multiplayer golf events worldwide, is live on Indiegogo and a bonafide crowdfunding success story having raised over $100,000 in less than a week.
‘Drive for show and putt for dough’, goes the age old golf adage. During an average round putting takes up 42% of golf shots so it’s one skill that can make or break a score. There have long been indoor putting greens in executive suites worldwide, but for the first time ever, PUTTR is introducing the world’s first smart, app-enabled golfing green to make practice both engaging and fun.
"A few years ago, my wife and I had our first son, and, naturally, I wanted to get him into golf right away. So, I took the Earl Woods (Tiger’s dad) approach, and started working with him at the hole and moving backwards. I wanted to make sure he knew how important putting was,” says founder Matt Allard on the inspiration behind the project. “Getting to a course was challenging with his age and our schedule, so I bought one of those home putting mats so we could play and practice. After he would go to sleep, I would hit a few putts, but get bored almost immediately and fold it up and put it away. I figured there had to be a better way to practice putting, make it fun and gamified, but also give me feedback on where I was making, missing and needed to improve. That’s when PUTTR was born.”
PUTTR is unlike any other putting green on the market because of its integrated computer vision technology through the green’s connected camera. This enables detailed analysis of every putt to give the user feedback on where they need improvement. The technology also seamlessly connects to the PUTTR app via Bluetooth to guide the user through games, drills and competitions. PUTTR measures both to give the user feedback on not only misses and makes, but where they are making and missing from every distance, short, long, left, right. A profile feature allows users to track their stats, progress over time, see their achievements and receive customized games and drills based on where the system determines the golfer needs practice.
PUTTR also makes for a fun game night in with the family. Playing games allows players of all skill levels to enjoy putting, from detailed practice routines to arcade style games like Cricket, Pop-A-Shot, Skee-Ball, HORSE and more. Interactive leaderboards allow users to see how they compare to their friends and earn bragging rights. Soon golfers will also be able to play for real money, so people can really “putt for dough.”
“Currently the ‘at-home putting mat’ market is basically just a carpet with a hole. There is no gamification, analysis, or feedback that actually helps people improve,” adds Allard. “Gamification in practice is so important because it not only makes practice much more fun and engaging, but it also simulates pressure so that it translates to competition on the course.”
PUTTR is currently live and available to support on Indiegogo: www.indiegogo.com/projects/puttr-smart-putting-green
