A well-suited putter can make all the difference in your short game, leading to lower scores and increased confidence.

Before beginning your search for the perfect putter, it’s essential to determine your budget. Putters can range from under RSO0 to over R8 000.

Knowing your price range will help narrow down your options and prevent you from falling in love with a putter that’s outside your budget.

Considering your putting stance and grip is also crucial. Think about how you stand when you putt — do you stand upright, or crouch low? What type of gtip do you use — conventional, crosshanded or claw?
