Team 12 presents an innovative computer-controlled putting green designed to enhance practice with varying contours. Unlike traditional practice greens that fall short in realism, our solution enables automatic adjustments to simulate real course conditions for golfers. The design incorporates robust mechanical and electrical systems, including linearly actuated contours and a user-friendly interface for tracking performance statistics. Priced competitively, this green allows users to walk on the entire surface, making it a smart addition for indoor training facilities seeking a realistic golfing experience.
