Putters & Putting
Putting is the final part of the game
of golf. In order to putt well you need to have a putter
designed to fit your style. There are many different
style putters available on the market.
There are heavy putters, adjustable weights, long shafted
and short shafted putters, and a host of other designs
and styles. Only you can tell which one feels right.
What Is A Putter Used For
 The
putter is specifically designed to smoothly stroke the
ball so it rolls and then falls into the hole. There
is no loft on a putter and the shaft can vary
in size and length since the club is not actually being
swung like the other clubs. The ball never leaves the
putting surface. It rolls across the green following
the slope and shape of the green so there is little
power involved in putting the ball.
How Will Putting Help My Game
Being able to putt well for an amateur golfer
is everything. If it takes a player
three strokes to get the ball to the green and then
another three strokes to put it in the hole that's the
difference between par golf, bogey golf, and what they
scored.
Spend some time on the practice green putting
and getting used to your putter. It could mean the difference
between breaking 100 and shooting par golf.
