18 “holes” on a golf course. You use the clubs that allow you to hit far to reach the “green”, then you use the shorter clubs to make your ball land softly on the “green”.
Once on the green, the grass being cut extremely short, you tap your ball with a putter, towards the “hole”, which is intentionally cut into the green. It is extremely satisying when it falls in the hole. (Yes, it has sexual underpinnings)
God created the game, to be not only the epitome of all games, but so as to mimic life. That means- its frustrating as hell, and meant to destroy pride and build a tenacious, godly character, wherein you learn to forgive yourself.
It was given to the Calvinist Scots, as was their shitty weather, because they needed humbling more than the rest.
I’m enjoying the heck out of the many last minute endorsements by naysayers. Too many to mention. Hope they don’t want to high five me.
That thought gave me this one. When you’re on the green, you use your putter. If you make the putt, no one says- ‘Smart of you to choose the putter.’
Occurs to me a non-golfer might not get my point. It’s this: the putter is the only club in the bag designed for putting. Using it is a no-brainer
This non-golfer would like to know: What is putting? In Dutch a PUT is a hole in the ground, like a well, so maybe that says it.

I will try to remember this explanation to tell my buds if I golf again Steve.
The phase most commonly used is "nice putt".
Nice Steve .
