ben hogan
It is simply a slang term that was popularised by Ben Hogan. Golf courses in Texas used to have a reputation for very hard and crispy fairways and fringes, so if a player was just off the green they would favour their putter over a wedge.
putter
You would use a putter when you are on the green, or just off the green to roll the ball into the hole (well that's the plan!)
Putter
The only thing you are not allowed to do is touch the line of your putt. So if there are loose impediments on your line you can pick them off with your fingers, but not with your putter.
I wont stop you.
You definitely need to have a driver. It is the club used mostly for driving the ball down the fairway at the beginning of most shots, it usually provides the most distance. You also want a putter. The putter is needed on the green and no other club is allowed. You might want to invest in a sand wedge or a pitching wedge as well. They give you good lift and can get you out of sticky situations. Invest in a 5 Iron or a 7 Iron as well. They give you different distances, but both are equally important for fairway action.
You hit the ball with a putter, normally on the green, and try to roll it into the hole.
When a player is on the green, they will putt the ball towards or into the hole. A putter is used.
Well that is the putter of course There are all different types, such as belly putters, chest putters and your normal standerized putter. I hope one day my way of putting which is using a driver for putting, will make it big in the game of golf.
You are only allowed 14 under the rules of golf. But if you are practicing you can have more. You can also have less than 14.
Putting is a term in golf where the player usually on the green tries to put the ball in the hole, using a putter.
