One of my golf buddies has a regulation flag with an actual cup - but the cup was tough to set and keep stable. In fact he actually set it in concrete this year.

It has really helped me focus on my alignment because I have a definite target to shoot to now. Plus it’s pretty cool.

“We have to be pretty self centered and confident in ourselves to be successful on the Tour. We have strong personalities-maybe even more so than other professions-because we have to rely solely on our own abilities. My faith has tempered that self centered streak and helped me to look beyond my own needs to the needs of others.” -Betsy King

Professionals will acknowledge their self confidence because they know they have put in the time during practice necessary to succeed. In order to have this perfect practice golfers must spend time with golf practice mats and even golf driving mats that can aid their game on the course.
