» If you lay down the flagstick, place it off the green to prevent doing any damage to the green and to hinder it from getting in the way of play. Generally, if there is no caddie, the player closest to the hole will be regarded as the one to look after and tend the flagstick when applicable. Try not to hang around after putting; therefore, after everyone has holed out, immediately walk to the next tee.

» I have to be honest and say that the 'Feet Feeling Method' for finding the break in a putt has never excited me. This involves using your feet to feel the slope of the green while you walk around it. The Plumb Bob Method in finding the line of any putt involves using your putter as a plumb line to judge the slope. To do this, you need to stand behind your ball, at a right angle to the hole, and hold up your putter so it covers the ball. Then, you align the shaft of your putter with the ball. If the shaft seems to tilt to one side, it indicates that the green also slopes in that direction and you then allow for this.
