Tiny putts loom large in golf history and legends
City links show how a missed wee putt altered destinies in early U S national championships. Douglas bogeyed the twelfth with three putts from under a yard, losing to Walter J Travis after two extra holes. The piece recalls famous short putt misses and a 1910 Brookline match where Warren K Wood swapped clubs and attempted an unfamiliar putter, risking his confidence and possible victory.
