Using this Pure2Improve golf putting mat is easy. Just lay it out on a flat surface. To use it, stand at one end and start practicing your putts. The visual aids and alignment guides will help you with your aim and distance control. When it comes to maintenance, simply use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface of the mat. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the material. Make sure to store the mat in a dry place when not in use to prevent any warping or damage. Remember, the adjustable practice cup is not included, so you'll need to use your own if you want to practice with a cup. Have fun improving your putting skills!
