“Obstacles” on the Green

October 2, 2007 | under Golf Tips, Putting |

Most golfers including myself, will be happy if we can reach the green in regulation. This will give us a chance to make par or even birdie. Cool. However, unsuspecting obstacles on the green can deter a perfect golf putt.

When making your putt, the following unsuspecting problems may occur on the green:

1. Grass: Since when does trimmed short grass on the green become 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.

2. Leftover Footprints: It is common etiquette not to step in the same line of your fellow player’s shots on the green, so as not to create footprints. But it does not prevent the group ahead of you from trampling all over the green before you get there. You may not see them, but these footprints can interfere with the ball’s line of travel.

3. Ball marks: Ball marks that are not repaired can be a nuisance on the green. This creates a “depression” on the green and can steer the perfect putt off course. The next time you are on the green, you may want to walk along the path of putt and repair any ball marks left behind. You are allowed to do that.

4. Untouched Grass Around The Hole: The green gets a lot of traffic from people walking all over it, making their putt shots, walking up to grab their ball, etc. But the 6 to 10 inches that surround the hole itself never really gets stepped on. This can create an uneven level of grass and cause the ball to move in a different direction.

Happy Golfing ….
