Putt Start Line Vs Offset at Hole

This comprehensive chart reveals the critical relationship between putt start line accuracy and distance. The data shows why even a 1-degree deviation can ruin a 10-foot straight putt. The color-coded table displays offset measurements in inches for various putt lengths (3-20 feet) and roll angles (0.5-3.5 degrees). Key insights include: 1) A 1-degree deviation will ruin a 10-foot long straight putt, 2) When dealing with breaking putts, the line/speed combination becomes even more critical, and 3) The margin of error on start line becomes increasingly narrow with distance and break.
