  • Question about putting

    When a pro has a tap-in putt; he will mark the ball, pick it up then put it back down. Is there any practical reason for this?

    Hello!

    A couple of reasons:

    To make sure the ball hasn't settled in a pitch mark/on a spike mark

    Part of the routine. On other putts the routine will involve reading then lining the putt up. Bobbing down to mark it gives a chance for a brief read for a short putt, the gets the routine started all over again.

    Tis very important.

      I think also if they have an alignment line on the ball, they will re-align it with the hole.
