  • WellPutt mat- Floor Leveling

    Good morning all,
    I recently purchased the WellPutt mat, and I am really liking it. My problem is that my garage floor doesn't appear to be perfectly level, and putts are falling off to the left.

    Has anyone had any success adding shims underneath their putting turf to make an area perfectly level?

    Coincidentally, I also just purchased a DivotAction insert, and I'm redoing all of my flooring area, so the timing is good to make these two corrections.

    TIA

    I have the same issue right now. Typical garage slabs slope from the house to outside the house (towards the garage doors) to make sure water is not going in but instead going out of garage. My setup is perpendicular to the doors, so my putts all slope to the left. I have shimmed my Mevo+ and shimmed my 5x5 hitting mat using gym mats, but im still trying to figure out how to get a flat surface all the way from my Mevo+ to screen (~ 17ft) for putting-- it needs to be somewhat portable setup so that I can roll it / fold it up to bring atleast one car into garage. I have tried putting a putting track in front of my mat, but the transition is a pain and the ball usually jumps.

    Appreciate if anyone has any ideas at all-- I am currently in brainstorming mode.

      Can you move sim setup so that screen is opposite doors? My garage setup is that way and I too have floors that slope away from house. I have a DIY hitting platform with an embedded FB 1x3' insert. The hitting platform accounts for the slope and is a perfectly level hitting surface. I have a turf ramp off the front of the platform that allows for smooth putting using a Uneekor. I suppose you could create this for a perpendicular setup such as yours but I think it would be a bit more awkward.

        I'm in a similar situation and found a solution that worked decently well for me. I had some spare plywood laying around which I cut down to a 1x8 strip. I drilled 6 holes and hammered in some 3/8ths inch tee nuts. I then screwed in 6 carriage bolts which I can screw in / out until I get the platform level. Works kind of similar to leveling feet on furniture. I never wound up getting turf or a mat to put on top but it worked fairly well even with the bare wood. I still pull it out on occasion but half the time I just don't bother turning putting on. Dropped in a few pics below

          Fantastic solution. Somewhere down the line I may need an idea like this. Thanks for posting it.
