Putter Quotations

Among golfers the putter is usually known as the payoff club and how right that is! Putting is in fact a game in itself.

It must be admitted that science has its castes. The man whose chief apparatus is the differential equation looks down upon one who uses a galvanometer, and he in turn upon those who putter about with sticky and smelly things in test tubes.

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.

I've always used a mallet putter on tour. I get too much face rotation with a blade.

I've really got no complaints about the way I played, just extremely frustrating with the putter and I'm sure there's a lot of other players saying the same thing except the guy who's going to win the golf tournament.

The greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow.

I will fall in love with any golf course that you have to drive the ball straight. You understand what I'm saying? That's my advantage. My advantage wasn't putting. In fact, I wasn't even a great putter or a good putter.

I've stated my position, and that is that we do not need a contraption to play the game of golf. I would hope that we'd play under one set of rules, and those rules would include a ban on the long putter hooked to the body in some way, shape or form.

The Americans at heart are a pure and noble people; things to them are in black and white. It's either 'rawk' or it's not. We Brits putter around in the grey area.

She's down the middle, the same thing every time. She doesn't get in a lot of trouble and has a great short game. She's definitely the best putter on our team.

My focus today was my iron shots and my putting. The greens are fast here, which is good because I usually like fast greens. I've been feeling good with my putter and I haven't missed many shots. I'm just playing good and making birdies.

Of all the guys I teach, he's probably the greatest overachiever. Look at what he accomplished before he came on tour and how he's progressed. He's an extremely hard worker and being a great putter is a great equalizer. Plus, he knows how to compete. He has the intangibles you can't teach. And he loves being on the tour.

Right before I start the putter back, I think about making solid contact. This brings your attention to the back of the ball and helps keep your head still at impact, which is a must. Many amateurs take a peek down the line too soon, and that can cause all sorts of mis-hits.

I don't know what Jack was thinking, but we were just looking to putter around the course and make some cash.

I had one bad swing, ... I hit the ball well, but I played poorly. My putter let me down today, just went cold. I couldn't make it from anywhere.

I feel very comfortable putting here. The putter has been working pretty good for me.

I feel like taking my putter into the car park and giving it a right good thrashing.

(Friday), the putter abandoned me early, and I never got it back. I went to a little different putting style. And I did roll the ball much better. I had more opportunities. I tried to be a little more patient and continue to hit good shots. Eventually, you're going to make a couple even if you don't putt well. That's what I did the last couple of holes.

He drives it great, hits his irons really well. When he gets that putter rolling, he can really put up some good numbers.

He missed a shot and got frustrated and accidentally hit himself on the head with his own putter and needed stitches on the course. It was hysterical, ... He continued playing. He didn't get hurt. It wasn't serious.

I absolutely lost it out there on the greens. I'll probably go snap this putter in about eight pieces.

He is the greatest putter on the fastest greens ever.

It has been a long time since a shot putter has thrown that kind of distance for Lead-Deadwood.

Jared hit the ball very well. He hit 14 of 18 greens. He just didn't have the putter working for him.

My only focus after I start the putter away from the ball is keeping the back of my left wrist as fat as possible from start to finish. This is critical to keeping the putterhead and ball moving straight down the target line after impact. It's also how Rory Mcllroy squares his putterface, and obviously it works for him.

My putter may be replaced sometime soon, or thrown away.

My putter just went south toward the end of the round. I just had no touch, no feel. I couldn't hit it well enough to get away with anything. I'm not going to hang myself. It was a difficult day.

My putter failed me, but I probably failed my putter, ... I think I got a little flat after the bogey on 16.

I still have it, and I'm still using it, ... I'm not sure if Walter will ever get that putter back.

I'm starting to hit it better and getting the range on my shots. If I get my putter going, watch out.

I'm hitting the ball well enough. I had good opportunities today, but my putter let me down a few times.

I wasn't overly nervous on the last putt, which is kind of a first for me. There were times in the past when my heart has been beating out of my chest. I just had two thoughts stay still, and make sure the putter goes through the ball. I thought I left it short, but it got to the cup on my last roll.

You can always have those kind of weeks but overall my game feels good and hopefully I can get the putter sorted out and get it ready for next week.

Today was a good day, I got off to a good start, ... If I could putt better, I could go really low. I love the way I'm hitting it. If I get the putter going, hopefully something good could happen tomorrow.

Today, the putter let me down a few times. I want to have a score that reflects how I'm playing.

We made a replacement. I'm tired of replacing it. That's happened a few times this year where the head has fallen off. Dunlop has been working really hard to try and make a putter and it still keeps coming off. I'm not getting another putter.

Today my putter let me down a few times. I fought really hard out there. I really tried. When I finally make a birdie, a bogey comes in. It takes 10 holes to make another birdie. It's a little tough at the moment. I feel I'm playing better, but nothing happens.

I've been playing well the last little stretch. When the putter is on, I'm going to shoot some low scores.

I've been feeling good with my putter and I haven't missed many shots.

I used one for about two years, and when I went back to a conventional putter last year, I found that I regained my stroke, especially on shorter putts, as a result of using the belly putter.

Sometimes when confidence has been shaken, it helps to use a new putter for a round or two until a few putts begin to drop and the player's morale has improved. But in the long run, the old horse is best.

Putting is so much feel, so it's hard to tell if a belly putter will work for someone. But if you're having trouble with short putts, it's going to help you regain your mechanics so that you release the blade through the putt. If nothing else, in that way it's a good training device.

You should never get set over the ball and then aim your putter face. If you do it in that order, you can easily lose sight of your intended line. Instead, aim the face down your line first, then settle your body into position.

This course is set up for my game. I feel very good on this course. I'm a very good lag putter and you have to do that here. My eye catches the slopes pretty well. That just comes from doing it for (so many) years. ... Around the greens, even though I'm not an incredibly good putter, I feel pretty safe.

There is no visible break between the putter alignment aid and the ball. It really helps to have the alignment area focus you on a specific point on the back of the ball.

It was fast and furious at the start. I played a good round. I've been playing well. I just haven't been able to close the deal the past few weeks. My putter helped me today, which is a major turnaround for me.

(I) took a lightning bolt to the head. It flashed over my body, through the putter and put a big hole in the ground. The flash stopped my heart.

It's been a horrible putting year. And when you don't have a lot of confidence with your putter -- especially when you have a chance to win -- instead of feeling you are going to make them ... I didn't feel like I was going to make them.

The biggest difference in his game now is he can overpower some courses, and mentally he's gotten a lot stronger. His ball-striking is much better now. Tee to green, he's really strong. If he gets his putter going, he'll be all right.

I turned around and saw her hand her putter to her caddie, so I knew she made it, ... I pretty much figured I had to make the one on 17. I was a little disappointed when I didn't.

I'm feeling pretty good about that. I maybe only had two or three chances of making bogey. Apart from that, the pars were fairly easy, which is always good. Let's hope the putter stays hot.

I made a bogey on the first, but apart from that I played very good today. I am very confident and have played very well. My putter is much better than last year. I think that is the key.

I'm usually a good putter and I think I have a pretty good short game. I guess if I had to improve anything about my game I'd like to improve my driver.

In all the times I saw him play, I never saw him hit a ball out of bounds. He was an excellent putter and he almost always wore a white shirt.

I like my chances right now. I'm playing within myself and giving myself a lot of opportunities. I just need the putter to get hot tomorrow.

I'm really happy for Chris. He came out and played extremely well and really helped out the team. Dallas put in another strong performance. He is a fantastic putter and hit the ball well too. It turned out to be a great team.

I'm probably going to break this putter in about eight pieces. I didn't have to putt great. I just had to putt decent.

I had that stretch in the spring where everything was going right but then in the summer my swing got out of whack and confidence in my putter went away. It has been that kind of year. If I make the cut then I have played well on Saturday and Sunday. Just getting there is a comfort because I feel like I'm kind of a closer.

If you'll be doing something you'd love to be doing anyway, get started, and don't kid yourself. If you're just thinking you'll putter around with something because it'll make you a little money, don't bother.

I just told myself I was the best putter in the world and went for it.

I know it sounds kinda crazy, but working on the farm is something I enjoy. I like to get out and just putter around.

I haven't had a stretch like that in a while. I felt really confident with the putter today and that's what I've been struggling with since my win.

I just knew it was a matter of time before the putter started working a little bit. I've just been patiently waiting for this to happen. I'm excited. I'm looking forward to the weekend, especially around this golf course.

I don't know how I even took the putter back,

I figured it out Saturday. My putter has been a lot longer, and I cut it off and started stroking it a lot better.

I changed my putter (Thursday) night. I never played with it before. They've got these Yes (C-Groove Olivia) putters here, so I just decided to change. And I changed my irons.

I'd say normally any TOUR event is close. It's very rare that any of them are runaways. The guys are pretty evenly locked. It's very seldom a guy gets on a roll with his putter to the point where he can really separate himself from the field like Tiger (Woods) has done a few times and Ernie did here, and Duval.

I feel like breaking the putter into eight pieces.

He played the tour because he loved the game, but he loved to play percentage golf. Clint Eastwood said a man's got to know his limitations. George would pace himself so he could clean up in the fall tournaments. He played to make a living. He knew his putter meant he didn't need to take chances.

He only dropped the putter cover a half-dozen times and lost my driver cover a couple of times, so he did great.

All in all, it was a pretty solid day for me. My putter really kept me in it, and I enjoyed it out there.

You've got to realize that a lot of these majors, I'm contending without really putting well, ... and that's a tough thing to do. I've just got to get the potato going a little bit, get the putter going a little bit and hole some putts here and there, and if things start going my way, I'm sure I'll have a good chance.

The last few weeks, it?s really come around. Even when I?m not swinging well, my putter will come around, and I can still shoot par or under par.
