Putting a mirror of the personality
Golf is a very individual game - but the putting is probably the most individual part of it. It can be putted in countless ways, everyone can putt like he wants to be successful and so well - only should the hands at impact not just be behind the ball. It can be broken all the rules, as long as the ball enters the hole: a long, flowing movement like this practice Ernie Els, Niklas Fasth and the young Martin Kaymer. Tiger Woods is always putting with short, firm thrust. The required momentum can be generated with the putter, or with the wrists: Colin Montgomerie and Ross Fisher are the living examples of how well this works. Even with the "Broomstick" putter, but rather reminiscent of a witch on the broom handle and use the Bernhard Langer and Sam Torrance so successful.
Golf putting looks to outsiders, for non-golfers, quite simply, and sometimes it is indeed. But there are days when that little white ball will not go for anything in the world hole. Every golfer has already made painful experiences. And if there is something in this game is nerve-racking, the one driven almost to madness, then there is the putting.
Golf putting has somehow something mystical - especially are a lot of feeling that certain "touch" nerves of steel and most important requirement. To whom it lacks feeling and lack of concentration, which is hardly good putt. But more than the rhythm, the movement, the pace of golf-swing, the way someone puttet and acts on the greens, a reflection of personality.
