Right, but you need to practice on the same conditions that you are practicing for. Hitting off a mat and putting on fuzzy greens, that don’t resemble Championship course greens, is counterproductive. That’s why courses like Palmer have both pitching and putting greens on site. Being able to practice hitting full swings off grass is problematic in a place with so many golfers as practice areas would not be able to hold real grass. I hate hitting off mats, it teaches you bad habits which don’t improve your game.
