The main idea behind the game of golf is to hit the golf ball starting from the tee towards the hole in as few strokes as possible. A big part of the game involves putting. You will notice a lot of golf flags as well as putting green flags around to guide players where they should aim for.
Putting is done when the golfer strikes the ball with less force once he’s on the putting green to bring the ball into the cup or hole. The putt is different from the drive since the ball does not leave the ground. In the long drive, the player strikes hard at the ball to bring it into the air and near the hole. Putting is the last part of the hole.
The putting green is the place where putting is done. You will notice how the grass is shorter and smoother compared to other areas of the golf course. The hole or cup is located within the putting green. A custom putting green flag is usually set up to let players see the location of the hole from a long distance. The location of the hole will differ between courses. The player needs to roll the ball properly to successfully shoot it into the cup. The quality, length and type of grass as well as the slope are important aspects of the game.
The putter is the special club used for the technique. It is characterized by a flat face and will roll the ball on the ground. The irons and woods are made for long drives. Find the right putter for your style.
