Most of the shot’s distance comes from the roll. Read the green like a putt<\/strong>, because it will act like one once it lands.<\/p>\n
Don’t forget — putting from off the green is allowed<\/strong>! If the fringe is smooth and the grass is short, putting might be your best percentage play.<\/p>\n
