WHAT DOES PUTTER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

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 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.

1
Lucas Black
I've never been one to throw clubs, break clubs, or use bad language on the golf course. I've played with golfers who've done that, and I really hate to see it. If I did something like that, my dad would come get the putter and hit me upside the head with it. I knew better.
2
Tommy Bolt
Never break your putter and your driver in the same round or you're dead.

Keegan Bradley
I was the first to win a major with a belly putter, and I've spent hours practicing that way, so I hope they don't ban anchoring.
4
Fred Couples
I caddied for a guy who was a very good player, and he gave me a set of clubs, just a starter set: 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron, putter and driver. I just loved it. How I developed my swing was to just grab a club and start banging balls.
5
Matt Kuchar
I'd like to see something done about the long putters and belly putters. But I go back and forth on that. I've actually worked with a belly putter.
