1. Draw an imaginary box around the putting green. Establish the points (C and D) that indicate the front and rear of the putting green, based on the typical angle of most approach shots.

2. From the front edge of the putting green measure the distance to the rear edge (axis C to D). This distance, shown in yards, is the 'depth' of the putting green. In this example the putting green is 37 yards deep.

3. From front edge of the putting green measure distance to the hole (axis A to B). This is the distance to the hole from the front of the putting green. In this example, the hole is 20 yards from the front of the green.

Note - Do not use axis F to B for this measurement. Remember, measure from the front edge, not the nearest forward edge.

4. From the hole, measure the distance to the nearest edge of the putting green (axis B to E). This distance indicates to the player how much putting green is between the hole and the edge. In this example, the hole is 10 yards from the right edge.

Here is how it looks on the official hole location sheet.
