Voor de holing out test maakt de DGB gebruik van een in eigen beheer vervaardigde houder. De instructies voor gebruik zijn opgesteld door de R&A.
Now we have a means of assessing the reliability of a putting green; the ‘Holing Out’ Test, developed by The R&A. The Test tries to eliminate as many variables as possible so that the results reflect only the influence of the putting surface or the golfer’s putting stroke on the likelihood of the golfer holing putts. This gives golf clubs and their course managers an easy and affordable way of monitoring the reliability of their putting surfaces throughout the year. Such testing should always be carried out in conjunction with monitoring of firmness and
speed.
