Putting is a game within the game of golf. It is one aspect of the game that is played along the ground and every putt has a certain technique for executing exactly the same shot. Remember the ultimate goal is to get the ball into the hole. No matter how well you play, about half the shots you hit will be putts. That makes putting the most important part of the game by a mile. Everyone should understand the value of being a good putter.
Putting is about fell and rhythm, two aspects of the game where all golfers should excel. Since putting constitutes half the number of shots you’re likely to play in a round, it stands to reason that you should spend half your practice time with a putter in your hands. This means each practice and warm-up session should start on the putting green.
