Who woulda thunk if you hit the ball on the correct line you will make more putts. Shank.

Yep. Make the three-inch putt and you’ll make the three-footer.

Good putting tip, Stinkney…. because once the ball is off the putter face it’s skidding and rolling and toppling about due to the chaotic gra s s patterns. Pick a line and stroke through the ball to the point in front of the ball. That’s all you can hope for… unless you bought one of those costly custom machined contraptions.
