Really interesting video on how spike marks can affect a putt. IG account is codykarosesgolf he has some other cool experiments.

One of the takeaways I have from this video is that it’s another reminder of how much can be out of our hands with putting. Green imperfections and the time of day you play have a lot of influence on how many putts you will make. One of the reasons why make rates are not as high as golfers would assume!

Hang on a sec. Ball 2 and 3 miss the spike marks entirely. I think what you're seeing is the effect of a footprint depression, not spike marks - which has recovered by the time the third run is made

why fix the spike mark if you can just hit the ball harder

@VeryAvgDad

Love this guy’s account. So many cool findings from his videos

@drivingpar4s Stay off my line!!!!!

Now do it on cored and sanded greens!

still think it’s funny to step in someone’s line after seeing this? @RobbiRobert9

I think professionals should have to put on greens that is mortals put. The public muni course type greens
