Putting Green

The specially maintained area surrounding each hole, featuring very short, smooth grass designed to provide optimal conditions for putting and approach shots. Putting greens are typically elevated, well-drained, and contoured to create interesting and challenging putting scenarios. Green maintenance involves specialized equipment, daily care, and expertise in agronomy to maintain consistent playing conditions. Championship greens often feature complex contours, multiple tiers, and strategic pin positions that test putting skills. Understanding green characteristics, including speed, break, and grain, is crucial for successful putting and scoring.
