The present invention provides a golf putting game apparatus for improving a player's putting skills. The golf putting game apparatus allows the player to practice putting accurately and to practice putting the ball with the correct amount of force. A scoring method for measuring the player's relative proficiency is provided. The golf putting game apparatus comprises a scoring template with opposite front and rear edges for arrangement on a putting surface such as a suitable carpet material, a putting green, or other surface suitable for putting. The scoring template includes hole marking means for marking on the putting surface a circular zone which represents a hole on a golf green, holed-out zone marking means for marking on the putting surface an elongate holed-out zone extending from the circular zone to the rear edge of the template, and scoring zone marking means for marking on the putting surface a pattern of spaced apart lines. The scoring zone marking means are spaced from and extend outwards from the circular zone to the edges of the template. A golf ball putt onto the template from in front of the template with the correct line and weight to enter a hole in a golf green will come to rest on the circular zone or holed-out zone. This allows the golfer to develop a feel for putting with the correct weight as well as line. A score is calculated by adding scoring indices marked on the template which lie adjacent the location at which the ball comes to rest.
