If anyone out there knows this, what's the distance between the lines on the putting green?  And while we're at it, the distance between the first line and the hole?

Without a measuring tape, I would say the entire "putting green" is about 12 feet long.  I would say that the lines around about 18" apart, and the hole is no more than a foot from the closest line.

This was done with a couple of pieces of scrap paper taped together that I measured later, but...

The distance from the center of the nearest line to the closest edge of the cup is approximately 15 inches. I only measured the distance between the centers of the final and next-to-final lines, but that distance is about 22 inches. So assuming that all of the lines are evenly spaced (since they seem to be), it's approximately a 10 foot, 5 inch putt to the hole from the farthest line.

Also of note, the cup is about 5.5 inches in diameter. By comparison, a regulation golf hole is 4.25 inches.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

 The green is completely flat, correct?  There isn't a "break" or anything else, is there?

 I wouldn't think so. Bob always tells them to hit it straight, and I'd think if there was a break there he would know about it and advise the contestant appropriately.

It's just like the girls I dated in high school.... straight and flat.

 More to the point, I think it would just be asking for trouble to create a course with a break and no side bumpers - imagine how much more frequently the models would be chasing after balls.

Also, wouldn't constructing a course prop with a meaningful break be more expensive?

Hmmm.
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

 On stage, Bob usually sinks the ball in the first try. Backstage on the other hand...

Hmm...I hear music next door...sounds like a dragon trying to rap.
