Green Books, America’s top-selling green maps, marks first anniversary helping everyday golfers read greens like the pros

Available online and in pro shops for just $40, Green Books have already been used on more than 7,000 courses; Free leather cover option available

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (June 3, 2021)—A year after introducing what are now the top-selling green-reading guides designed and priced for the everyday golfer, feedback from customers is clear: Green Books by GolfLogix helps golfers of every skill level putt with confidence and shave strokes off their game.

Green Books distill green-contour data into easy-to-read illustrated maps that help golfers know exactly where to hit the ball on the green. Using mapping technology with accuracy down to the centimeter, the $40 Green Books provide tour-quality intel at a fraction of the price of the green-reading maps that professionals and college teams use in competition.

The pocket-sized guides are available for more than 14,000 courses at store.golflogix.com.

“Golfers at all levels tell us Green Books take the guesswork out of putting,” President of GolfLogix Pete Charleston said. “We designed Green Books with the everyday golfer in mind. It’s affordable and incredibly simple to use. That’s why more than 25% of customers who ordered Green Books in the past year have already purchased another Green Book for a different course in 2021.”

With Father’s Day just around the corner, GolfLogix is making it easier than ever to get all the dads in your life a gift they’ll actually use. All Green Books ordered by June 15th will arrive by Father’s Day on June 20th, and now through Father’s Day, all orders of two or more Green Books come with one free genuine leather cover (a $30 value).

Three Views of Every Hole Eliminate Second Guessing
The topographical guides include three views of every hole. Quick-view heat maps outline the green’s undulations and provide large, easy-to-see arrows which help golfers identify the areas to avoid when planning approach, pitch, and chip shots. Using these amazing course management features helps bring confidence to pressure putting where strokes are lost. A second, close-up perspective of the green highlights the subtle changes in elevation and direction that are often undetectable to the naked eye. Combined, the maps help make every putt read quick and simple, virtually eliminating the dreaded 3-putt.

This printed guide also features yardage book-quality color images of every hole with 50-yard grids to help plan your tee shots and avoid the major hazards. Green Books mimic the GolfLogix app’s Approach Mode, allowing golfers to strategically target positions on the green for their best opportunity of draining their putt.

Inside every Green Book is a QR code offering a free trial for two rounds of access to the premium on-course tools in the GolfLogix app. Using the GolfLogix app on the course allows golfers to use Putt Line, the one-of-a-kind animated putt line that shows you the perfect line of your putt to the hole, taking into account break, change in elevation and the speed of the green.
