Examples "he putted the ball several feet past the hole" Used in print (Alfred Wright, "A Duel Golfers Will Never Forget"...)He did seem hasty on his second and third shots , but then there was an agonizing wait of several minutes while Coe graciously putted out , giving Palmer a chance to recover his composure , which he had quite visibly lost . Palmer was now putting merely for a tie , and Player , who was sitting beside his wife and watching it all on television in Tournament_Chairman_Clifford_Roberts ' clubhouse apartment , stared in amazement when Palmer missed the putt . The usually skiddy greens were moist and soft , so the golfers were able to strike their approach_shots boldly at the flag-stick and putt firmly toward the hole without too_much worry about the consequences . |
