Great Putting Greens & Sets for the Post-Pandemic Office
Just don't let your boss catch you putting your day away. Should they, could you try not to blame us? Thanks.
The din of office life is familiar to us all. There are the sounds of high-priced, hard to operate printers churning out ream after ream of documents. There is the constant hum of the water filtration units and the folks filling up their BPA-free water bottles. And there’s the chatter over who’s leading the office Fantasy Football league.
Our favorite sounds are none of the above. They are the lighthearted taps of a Sheen and Estevez inspired golf clap after someone sinks a good shot using the tested and true, office putting set. And if you don’t own one, think about investing in one now. Here are some we recommend for improving your short game.
And speaking of short games, office putting is really just daytime Minigolf for adults without the windmill. It's a lot like Alfredo Sauce vs Mac & Cheese. You know what you're really eating when you order Alfredo at your favorite Italian Restaurant.
You don't even need to know the rules of Minigolf to enjoy a post-lunch round of desk adjacent putt-putt.
Equipment You Need For In-Office Putting
You don’t just have an indoor golf set shipped without having the right equipment. Every boss worth their salt knows you need a good putter and a set of golf balls to keep office morale high. You wouldn’t show up to a driving range without the driver and the mid-range irons you want to work on, would you?
- Golf Balls
- Golf Putting Green
- Putter
- Whiteboard (for keeping score)
JEF Automatic Putting Cup
Not much of a practice hole, the JEF Putting Cup is a simple and straightforward contraption that will kick your ball back to you when you’ve struck it successfully. It’s good for the golf enthusiast who is on the run, especially the salesperson who travels by car for overnights.
Of all of the golf gifts on this list, it’s the least golf-looking.
- Pros: Its portability, its price, its weight (1lb) and the automatic ball return.
- Cons: Can sometimes churn through batteries
JEF World of Golf Hazard Deluxe Putting Mat
An upgrade over the JEF Putting Cup, the Hazard Deluxe Putting Mat possesses more complexity than it's more simple counterpart. There are hazards (bunker & water), as well as an elevation change that really makes you focus on each and every putt.
- Pros: We love the addition of the hazards, even if they are rather small.
- Cons: It's a bit harder to conceal from the boss than the Putting Cup.
JEF Collapsible Chipping Net & Turf Practice Mat
Now this is what we're talking about. If you work in an office with high ceilings, and preferably few windows, you can construct a short-range chipping area that will decently replicate approaching the green. And also by office, we meant if you work in a warehouse or on a low floor of a building with some greenery just outside the back door.
Neon Executive Gift Portable Golf Putter Set Kit
A portable golfing set that can be easily set up and broken down in minutes. We love it.
