On the Green Marking the Ball
Do not touch the ball. Place a marker or coin behind the ball - on the other side of the ball from the pin. (I know this is not a rule, but it is the accepted route and to do
otherwise could make you look like a hayseed) Pick up the ball. When it is your turn to putt, reverse the procedure. You may want to use the ball's logo to line up your putt.
Tending the Flagstick
Watch your approach to the flagstick and do not step on any one's putting "line" to the hole. Stand to the side of the stick, check that your shadow is not shading the hole or the putting line, and hold the flagstick Loosen the stick so that you know it will come out easily when the ball approaches Grab the flag to prevent it flapping and thus being a distraction, and stand very still.
*** Don't forget to practice your putting - you use your putter more often that any other club in your bag! |
