10 Meter's out

In casual play, 99% of people don't care about this sort of thing. The other 1% can go buy a 35' tape measure and carry it in their bags.

Note: I carry a 35' tape measure in my bag just in case I run into one of these folks. It also helps at tournaments where the lines aren't marked.

If you need to jump putt at 32.8 feet, you have bigger issues. Ive never got good at jump putting though. The chalk line used in other sports that has been brought up would probably be the most effective if used in grass. Not sure about what to use in dirt for a permanent solution.

That's what I was going to say, too. I don't feel the need to jump- or step-through-putt until I'm well, well outside the 10m circle.

I used to think the same way, until I started practicing. I do a walkthrough putt like Feldberg, and I am more accurate with it from just outside the circle than when I don't follow through. I now say that if the rules will let me follow through from that distance, then I am going to take advantage of it.

I hit 3 (that I remember, maybe more) from about 35-40' out in one round the last tournament I played in. Two of them were after rollaways on a missed 27-30'er
