Half Of Golf Is Spent Putting Irons In A Season
An analysis of scores from clubs in the metropolitan district finds the average golfer spends half of play on the putting greens. Of about 60 000 strokes in the season 25 000 were with the putter, underscoring putting as the key to lower scoring and mastery of the game. Walter Travis is highlighted as the only American to win the British amateur championship due to superior putting and strategic use of a special Schenectady center shafted putter banned later by Britain.
