Dangers To Look Out
If you think that your ball is safe once it hits the green, think again!
There are unsuspecting obstacles, or a better term would be
annoyances, that can wreck a seemingly perfect putt.
When making your putt, the following unsuspecting problems may
hinder your success on the green:
A. Grass
Since when is trimmed short grass on the green a problem? Although
the smooth surface of the green is well kept and maintained, it is still
grass after all, and it will grow. A small patch of higher-than-normal
grass blades can get in the way of a perfect putt.
That's what you have to watch out for. A poor groundskeeper can
ruin your day!
B. Leftover Footprints
It is common etiquette not to step in the same line of your fellow
player's shots on the green, so as to not create footprints. But not
everyone has such good etiquette unfortunately. What if the group
ahead of you has trampled all over the green? Footprints may not be
easy to see, but they can interfere with your ball's line of travel.
C. Untouched Grass Around The Hole
Greens gets a lot of foot traffic from people walking all over them.
People make their putt shots, walk around them to grab their balls,
and all sorts of other stuff . But the 6 to 10 inches that surround the
hole itself never really gets stepped on. This can also create an
uneven level of grass and cause your ball to move in a different
direction.
Putting From A Bunker
Is it possible to successfully putt the ball from a sand bunker?
The answer is yes, it is definitely possible! There are times when the
bunker sand is so hard and lipless, that you can make a successful
putt. It's not easy from the sand, but it can be done.
As Arnold Palmer says, "the worst putt is better than your best
chip."
Before trying to make the "hero" putt shot from the sand, it is
important to properly assess the situation. If the following conditions
exist, you may be able to go for a successful putt from the bunker:
1. The sand must be firm and well packed.
2. There must be absolutely no lip at the top of the bunker/edge of
the grass.
3. The ball should not have to roll for more than 4 feet or so of sand.
This is because it is often harder to roll the ball on sand rather than
grass.
4. The hole should be very close to the bunker.
But wait!
