Why examples matter

Notable putting courses venues are remembered because they ask clear questions. For putting-course touch, can you judge the slope, start the ball on the correct side, or resist the line that looks exciting but leaves no recovery? The answer changes from course to course, but ramps, humps, rails, and pace puzzles keeps shaping the test.

Borrow the design lesson

Look at how putting courses uses angles. For putting-course touch, trouble may sit to the side rather than directly in front, yet it still changes what a comfortable next shot looks like. For putting-course touch, that lesson travels well: see the shape, pick the angle, and stop assuming every target is straight ahead.
