How to Putt a Golf Ball

Step 1: Read the Green
Before you can even think about hitting the ball, you have to know which way it’s going to go. It’s usually easiest to squat down a fair distance behind your golf ball (around 5-10 feet) and look at the green between the ball and the hole.

Look for different shades in the grass. The shininess and grain of the grass can tell you how the ball is going to roll. Also look for bumps, ball marks, or debris that you may need to fix in order to have a smooth path to the hole. Then go to the other side of the hole, looking towards your ball, and do the same thing.

Step 2: Visualize the Putt
Close your eyes and picture yourself hitting the putt and it rolling into the bottom of the cup. This will allow you to feel comfortable over the ball and get a good gauge of how the putt should look as it rolls along your path to the hole.

Step 3: Take Practice Swings
Stand with your putter beside the ball and take smooth strokes with the power you estimate it will take to get the ball to the hole along the correct line. Take about two to four practice swings and then take a deep breath.

Step 4: Address the Ball
Put your putter behind the ball, feet shoulder width apart and relaxed. Take a deep breath then proceed to step 5.

Step 5: Hit the Putt
Take a deep breath, take a smooth stroke and hit your putt. Trust your line and believe in yourself.

Step 6: Watch the Putt Fall
After you hit your putt, watch it roll towards the hole and fall into the bottom of the hole. Fist pumps are encouraged after it goes in.

Read the following passage.

In the track of the hurricane much damage was done. Fences and stone walls were blown down, and the stalks of Indian corn were bent over and broken off near the ground. Hay in the fields was suddenly whisked up, and scattered over adjoining territory for a mile away, being lost. As the wind increased in force many large apple and other kinds of trees were torn up by the roots ; in some instances enclosing animals in such a manner that they could not get away by their efforts alone, though they were not injured.

A large portion of the roof of the church, and boards from tile roofs and sides of several other buildings were carried away. Several dwelling houses were shattered, and two or three buildings were entirely destroyed. In the space covered by the wind was a house, with a wing which was garrisoned. The whirlwind swept down upon the garrison with such violence that it was instantly demolished, three of its sides falling to the ground.

The first passage focuses more on the rain, whereas the second passage (a firsthand account) focuses on...

the wind
the water
the destruction

Read the following firsthand account of a hurricane.

ON Thursday July 28, 1748, occurred a disastrous hurricane at Pep-
perell, Mass. The people of the parish had finished eating their
dinner, and were going to their work in the hay fields, it being
about one o'clock, when the sound of thunder was heard. It came
nearer and grew louder until it was deafening, and the wind came rush-
ing across the fields and through the woods, increasing in force until it
seemed to be irresistible, and developing a rotary motion. Its course
was from the southwest to the northeast, though it slightly varied,
blowing sometimes to the right and again to the left. It continued
for fifteen minutes with such terrific power that the air was filled with
hay, leaves, limbs of trees and pieces of lumber. The wind swept
through the centre of the parish, not abating its force until it reached
the New Hampshire line, a short distance away.

How does this passage differ from the passage above?

Based on the second passage, how could the dimples on the golf ball change your putt?
