1. Putter

   A putter is a club used in the sport of golf to make relatively short and low-speed strokes with the intention of rolling the ball into the hole from a short distance away. It is differentiated from the other clubs (typically, irons and woods) by a clubhead with a very flat, low-profile, low-loft striking face, and by other features which are only allowed on putters, such as bent shafts, non-circular grips, and positional guides. Putters are generally used from very close distances to the cup, generally on the putting green, though certain courses have fringes and roughs near the green which are also suitable for putting. While no club in a player's bag is absolutely indispensable nor required to be carried by strict rules, the putter comes closest. It is a highly specialized tool for a specific job, and virtually no golfer is without one.

Examples of putter in a Sentence

1. Martin Kaymer:

   It’s very important to take care of the first six and seven holes because you can score there, you need to take advantage of the par fives and that’s very important. If the putter is warm enough then I might have a chance.

2. Bill Haas:

   The putter was what's got me in the hunt, we don't play better greens on tour than these greens here.

3. Andrew Putnam:

   I didn't hit the ball as well as first two days, so glad the putter was still warm, i'm just going to stay aggressive. There's a lot of birdies out there.

4. Tiger Woods:

   I rolled it well today, hit a lot of good putts early that didn't go in, i misread a couple on the back nine. Overall I hit a lot of good putts and it was nice to feel that and nice to feel the putter swinging again.

5. Troy Merritt:

   The last couple weeks the putter was ice cold but we've putted really well this week, read the greens well, speed has been really good. We had two three putts but usually when you're putting well you're being aggressive and you're going to have a couple mistakes.
